This is for supporters of Donald Trump. It's a public post so I assume that means you can all see it. Please read it. It will take less than 3 minutes (I timed it at 2:35) and I promise not to call you names.

What Trump is telling you isn't true most of the time. No steel mills are being built in the U.S. and coal isn't coming back. Hillary Clinton didn't collude with Russia so she could lose an election, and she didn't commit any crimes so you can't lock her up.

Democrats aren't organizing mobs to come beat you up and no one is coming for your guns. No one has drafted an "open borders" law and the wall won't prevent illegal immigration.

Trump did not win the popular vote or have the largest inauguration day crowd. His Electoral College numbers were far from the greatest ever.

Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi are not our friends. The United Nations and our European allies are not the bad guys. Saudi Arabia is not a bastion of freedom.

Trump did not revive the economy, Obama did. The tax cuts really do benefit the top 1%. If you're not one of them, you probably got screwed. Trump does not want to protect people with pre-existing health conditions. If he did, he'd quit sabotaging Obamacare.

Trump is not a brilliant businessman. He just wants you to believe he is. He is, however, a brilliant con man. He isn't hiding his tax returns because they're under audit. He doesn't want you to see that you probably pay more taxes than he does.

In short, your president is a liar. He lies every day about almost everything, and Fox News either repeats the lies or feeds them to him in the first place.

Don't take my word for it. Call someone in the coal industry and ask them how many miners they have rehired. Call a steel company and ask them how many new mills they're going to build. Call Ford and ask about their plan to lay off 24,000 workers because of steel tariffs. Ask people from the Carrier plant in Indiana if Trump really saved their jobs.

In other words, stop being told what to think and do some self-study. Research Trump's business failures or the human rights records of his authoritarian friends. Talk to a Democrat to see what they really believe. Read some history instead of clicking web links to Breitbart News.

And for the love of god, please understand that the press is not the enemy of the people. Without a free press, all would truly be lost.

Listen, I know the guy can be seem to be entertaining and he's found a way to tap into things you don't like and make you believe he's on your side, but forget what he says and look around at what's really going on. This administration operates like a reality show, but this is not Celebrity President.

This is serious business and it's not going well. America is broken. We can either fix it before it's too late or watch it crumble into third-world status. You owe it to yourself to turn off the rhetoric and set aside the propaganda and think for yourself.

I mean, c'mon. Life is short. Don't waste it believing things that simply aren't true.
