Trump: "Buttigieg spent billions fixing the air traffic control. They used copper wire going into glass wire. Any union electrician here or any non-union electrician would say you can't hook copper into glass. It doesn't work. They spent billions, turned on the system & it was stone cold blank"
A few months ago he also blundered into a wholly truthless rant about how fiber optic (which I assume he thinks is "glass wire") cable cannot be coupled with copper wire.

The president made up some more lies about his murder spree in the Caribbean:
President Trump has decided that the United States is engaged in a formal âarmed conflictâ with drug cartels his team has labeled terrorist organizations and that suspected smugglers for such groups are âunlawful combatants,â the administration said in a confidential notice to Congress this week.
There is no such armed conflict. The president has dressed up his summary executions of alleged criminals by pretending that the U.S. is fighting a war with these groups, but these groups are not engaged in hostilities with our government. They arenât carrying our armed attacks on our country or our military. Calling them terrorist organizations doesnât authorize or legitimize the killing Trump has ordered. Branding noncombatants as combatants doesnât make them lawful targets.
The administration has dubbed this a ânon-international armed conflictâ for the purposes of creating a fig leaf for the presidentâs murders. That is another lie. A non-international armed conflict is one where a state or a non-state group is fighting with an armed non-state group. To qualify as a non-international armed conflict, the non-state party or parties to the conflict must be organized and the violence between them and the state must be intense.
As we can see, there is no conflict of any kind happening. There is no one fighting back. Our military is simply blowing up boats full of civilians because the president feels like it.
Noting that it is illegal for the military to deliberately target civilians who are not directly participating in hostilities â even suspected criminals â Mr. Corn called the presidentâs move an âabuseâ that crossed a major legal line.âThis is not stretching the envelope,â he said. âThis is shredding it. This is tearing it apart.â
Even if there were a conflict between the U.S. and an armed group taking place, the attacks on the boats would still be illegal.

So, multiple egregious lies in one short statement, and no one questions them. Maybe they're not called on.
