This got old back in 2016

At the Naval Academy graduation ceremony, President Trump said, “We have now the lowest number of ships that we’ve had since World War I, and very soon you’re going to get to 355 beautiful ships. 355. That’s almost a couple of hundred more ships.”

In fact, the Navy has 283 ships at the moment, The Navy plans to reach the 355-ship mark in 2030 at the earliest, but probably not before 2050.

POTUS also claimed, " “Going to have new equipment and well-deserved pay raises. We just got you a big pay raise. First time in 10 years. We got you a big pay increase. First time in over 10 years. I fought for you. That was the hardest one to get, but you never had a chance of losing.”

In fact, the members of our military have gotten pay raises each of the past 10 years. This year's increase is 2.6 percent; several in the past 10 years have been more. The ones in 2008, 2009, and 2010 were all 3.4 percent or more.

Mr. Trump's ongoing reign of error has always raised the question of whether he's lying, or permanently confused, or making up his statistics off the top of his head. Or maybe it's a combination of all three. But whatever the explanation, the same question must be asked which I asked during the Republican debates in 2016: shouldn't the President of the United States know what he's talking about?

He didn't then, and apparently, he still doesn't. And that is disturbing.
