The insanity of uncontrolled narcissism. White House Memo: The War That Wasn’t: Trump Claims Obama Was Ready to Strike North KoreaWASHINGTON — America was on the brink of war. As President Barack Obama prepared to leave office, he was contemplating yet another conflict in Asia, where the United States had already fought twice since the 1950s without winning. This time, the enemy had nuclear weapons. The potential for devastation was enormous. Wait a minute — don’t remember Mr. Obama’s near-war with North Korea? Neither do the people who were working for Mr. Obama at the time. But President Trump has been telling audiences lately that his predecessor was on the precipice of an all-out confrontation with the nuclear-armed maverick state. The way Mr. Trump tells the story, the jets were practically scrambling in the hangars.

If you listen to his press conference where he first offered this interpretation, he starts out saying "I don't want to speak for President Obama, but I think he was close to declaring war with North Korea' - then within a few sentences, that had morphed into "If I hadn't been elected POTUS we would be in a major war right now."
It's like you could watch the birth of a lie right there in the press conference.
Hard to prove a negative. Next he will be claiming we would have been over run by Mexicans if he hadn't been elected POTUS, or we would be deep in a bottomless depression if he hadn't been elected POTUS.
By the way, have I told ya'll that Mr Happy would be an axe murderer on death row if he hadn't married me? It's a fact.

I ESPECIALLY hate that one.
If I attend a meeting of the flat earth society, and stand around listening to 'many people' talk about the earth being flat, that does not make it so.
Idiot.
