This accomplished-more-than-any-other-president thing is a psychosis for Trump and his minions. It's such a big lie it's a wonder they don't burst into flames or burst out laughing when they say it.

Coolest thing I’ve read in a long time
Many physicists have come to believe that a mystery is unfolding in every microbe, animal, and human—one that could redefine the field for the next generation, Adam Frank writes.

Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes.
In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close.
