What Trump Did When A Reporter Challenged Him On A Lie He's Told Over 150 Times

After publicly telling a particular lie over 150 times, President Donald Trump was challenged by a reporter.

According to CNN, Trump abruptly ended a Saturday news conference at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, by walking out.

The lie had to do with veterans' health care and the Veterans Choice program.

Trump has consistently told audiences he is the one who passed it.

They've been trying to get that passed for decades and decades and decades and no president's ever been able to do it, and we got it done.

President Donald Trump In fact, former President Barack Obama signed the Choice program into law in 2014.

In 2018, Trump signed a bill that modified and expanded the eligibility criteria.

CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid asked Trump why he 'kept saying that' at the Saturday news conference.

Reid continued, 'You said that you passed Veterans Choice.

It was passed in 2014...it was a false statement, sir.'

Trump paused, thanked the reporters, then walked away as the song 'YMCA' played.
