text: Trump spewed lies and misleading statements in his CPAC speech. For example, he disputed the Washington Post's statement that its report that Flynn discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador was based on “nine current and former officials, who were in senior positions at multiple agencies at the time of the calls.” How would Trump know how many sources there were — they were anonymous. And if it was "fake news," why did he fire Flynn, based on what the Post reported?
  
  Then, he claimed that "Obamacare covers very few people," but, in fact, 20 million people have gained care under the ACA.
  
  Also, he claimed that “In the Middle East, we’ve spent, as of four weeks ago, $6 trillion." This is a wildly inaccurate number that includes future debt service (remember that Bush's wars were unfunded) and the cost of veterans' care for the next 30 years. 
  
  And those are just a few of the lies that he told to an audience that believes it all.
