More in sorrow than anger, Fox News host Neil Cavuto once again asked President Trump on Thursday evening to stop saying things that are patently untrue. He listed about a dozen of them, then explained why the favorite White House counterpoint is a flawed one. "None of these make the market any less impressive, maybe just the guy overseeing it all," Cavuto said. "Mr. President, you're that guy."
"I like tax cuts and soaring markets as much as anybody, but what good is it to fatten your wallet if you've lost your soul? If you forget your friends and you embolden your enemies?" Cavuto asked. "I know you'll call this fake, but the implications of what you're doing, Mr. President, are very real. You are so darned focused on promoting a financial boom that you've failed to see that you are the one creating this moral bust." Watch below. Peter Weber
