Donald Trump is fond of claiming that the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has endorsed him even though the media has repeatedly pointed out that he was merely endorsed by a workers union of ICE employees. Today he pulled a similar trick, claiming to have been endorsed by the sheriff’s office for St. Johns County, Florida. The sheriff’s office has been quick to dispute Trump’s claim, but you can bet he’ll still be telling this lie at his next rally.
Honored to receive an endorsement from @SJSOPIO – thank you! Together, we are going to MAKE AMERICA SAFE & GREAT AGAIN!#LESM #MAGA pic.twitter.com/lKKuu10jn1
