In a recent message to America, Donald Trump boasted how dramatically gas prices have fallen, pointing out that the nation average price has now fallen under the $2.00 per gallon mark.

As anyone could have guessed, this is a lie; the average is now $3.165.

But what makes this noteworthy is that it took me less than a minute to find and open the AAA website linked above to determine the truth.  And there is nothing special about my computer/Internet skills; this is something anyone age 6 to 96 could have done with equal speed.   So why does Trump lie about things that the average first-grade kid can prove false?

All I can suggest is that his base accepts what he says, knowing full well that almost everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.  Truth has long since lost all value and relevance.
