Repeatedly, the officially non-partisan federal bureaucracy has been called to the president’s defense.
In the early days of the Trump administration, the president and his then-press secretary Sean Spicer claimed that the inauguration had the largest crowd in American history — a claim swiftly debunked by photos tweeted by the National Park Service comparing the Trump inauguration and that of President Barack Obama.
POLITICO reported the no-media rule was accompanied by bans on the phrases “Climate Change,” “Emissions Reduction” and “Paris Agreement” from all communications. Coinciding with Trump’s campaign promises, the workers were prompted to use the new preferred words: “jobs” and “infrastructure.”Trump said in 2018 that “tremendous amounts” of his promised border wall had been built. That wasn’t true: The Border Patrol was replacing old barriers with new ones.
