    NYT

    I love how Trump lies and lies and lies but the media responds by taking him seriously. The Times doesn’t even say “President Trump claimed…” Emphasis mine.

    President Trump said on Saturday that he had “identified funds” that would allow the administration to pay members of the military on Oct. 15, even though the government remains shut down and Congress has not approved additional money for the troops.

    The White House budget office said only that the money would be sourced from research and development funds previously approved for the Pentagon for a two-year period, but offered no further details about the president’s plans.
