CPAC: Trump spoke for nearly 1.5 hours at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Here’s just a few of the lies he told.
  • Guns: The president wants teachers to be armed to stop gun violence. But armed citizens rarely successfully intervene to stop an active shooter.
  • Economy: Trump claims to be savings thousands of jobs across the U.S. But hundreds of workers continued to get laid off, like at Carrier.
  • Taxes: He told the crowd that everyone was benefiting from the tax bill. But 83 percent of the benefits will ultimately go to the richest 1 percent.
