On Tuesday night, President Trump delivered his second State of the Union address, squirting lies and misinformation like an orange squid that had accidentally been dropped in the wrong aquarium tank (the Capitol) instead of the correct aquarium tank (the White House) and, upon being confronted by a crowd of squid-eating sharks (the Democrats), decided to deliver a State of the Union address full of lies and misinformation. It’s demoralizing to see a president behave as though Pinocchios and flaming pants have no meaning anymore, but that just means it’s more important than ever for courageous journalists to keep the flame of truth burning by feeding it plenty of white-hot cold hard facts. And that’s just what The Daily Show did. Check out their State of the Union Fact Check, in which seven of Trump’s most dissembling and misleading claims are countered with the facts.
