Trump Busted Lying to Grieving Moms in the Sun-Kissed Rose Garden

Trump Busted Lying to Grieving Moms in the Sun-Kissed Rose Garden

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-busted-lying-to-grieving-moms-in-the-sun-kissed-rose-garden/

Bad enough, President Trump lied during the State of the Union address to both houses of Congress.

On Friday, Trump repeated the very same falsehood at a luncheon in the White House Rose Garden to celebrate motherhood.

“11,888 murderers were allowed in our country,” he lied to the women at the gathering, many of whom were wearing summer dresses and colorful hats.

Trump had cited this same precise number of immigrant killers on numerous other occasions and has been told on numerous occasions that it is false. He sometimes compounds the falsehood, as he did at the 2025 signing of a Social Security executive order, speaking of “11,888 murderers, half of whom committed more than one murder.”
