Another softball interview, another series of obvious lies from the president.

Here's a fact check of a whole bunch of false claims Trump made in a New York Post podcast interview released this morning – all of them, of course, unchallenged:

Have you talked to anybody in NATO about that? I mean, have they changed their tune on the strait?

PRESIDENT TRUMP
They would, if I wanted them to, but they would. I want them to. We don’t need them. We don’t need NATO. They were very, very weak and very sad. What they said, they said we’ll help you as soon as the war is over. NATO, Europe has lost its way. They have a tremendous immigration problem, and they have a tremendous energy problem, because all they want to do is build windmills all over the place, so anyway.

Well, call me. You can call me tomorrow, and I’ll talk to you about it. Let’s see what’s going on - okay? https://t.co/Nsk9Xf34XO

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is less than 10 days away from falling to its lowest level since August 1983- over 15,625 days ago- a level not seen since the SPR's initial fill-up that began in 1977.

BREAKING: President Trump says talks with Iran are back on.

[Eamon Javers @EamonJavers]

I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.”
