"#Trump dismissed as 'fake' FBI statistics that showed a continued drop in levels of violent crime... he claimed [falsely] that [immigrants] were taking jobs..."
Trump's first press secretary, Sean Spicer, started lying about economic numbers and Trump's inauguration attendance on his first day. With a grin on his face.
Instead of shunning Spicer as the fascist monster that he is, celebrities like James Corden and Stephen Colbert normalized and did PR for him.
