This goes out to Trump supporters and opponents. What do you think he gains by so many falsehoods, some very easily disproved. The famous Obama and W “stretchers” were you can keep your doctor and WMD in Iraq. I think those were forms of wishful thinking, something they could convince themselves might be true. (I also don’t know how many people lost their docs.)

Tell the Trump hating media. They are the ones who keep making up these "lies".
 
Because he is a corrupt pig bastard and would have sent himself to jail long ago if he got in the habit of telling the truth?

All he knows is lies. His supporters give him no reason to know anything else.

Slurpity-dee, slurpity-do,
**** up the thread with a bit of poo.







(in the 2nd post. Good job refreshing the page!)

Why did Obama lie so much? Why did Hilary Clinton lie so much? Why do so many progressive Democrats incessantly act like compulsive and hypocritical pathological liars?

Obama's point man outright admitted it all was deliberate lying to get Obama Care passed - even bragged about it. But, as Joe Biden stated, the new progressive Democratic Party will no longer accept facts, and in your message you completely agree. It isn't about facts, but only hatred of Donald Trump - and about 90% of all other Americans too.
 
Melania's face at the Inauguration told the story of what we would be facing with Trump..... YouTube

She's more like a hostage!!!!! She knows if she left him she would not be safe from his cult, they would attack her!!!

You cannot be serious. The Toronto Star, Politifact, the WashPo, The NY Times made up the thousands of lies they have documented? Take off your tinfoil hat, Google “Trump’s Lies,” and report back.

If you had gone back to the beginning of 2017 and told me that by late 2019 we'd still have no idea if Trump was knowingly or unknowingly lying, I'd have accused you of lying.

Stephen Colbert said it best (I paraphrase): "It's amazing how little we actually know about Donald Trump. We don't know how much he's worth. We don't know what his real skin color is. We don't know why he's so deferential to Putin."

And we still don't know exactly why he lies like he does. We've all got our pet theories, but nobody actually knows, and that's completely ****ed up.

Edit: found the video.

Trump believes that if you keep repeating a lie eventually people will believe it to be true. That is why he repeats himself over and over again with certain lies. He has been lying his entire life.
 
Democrats = Delusional

Yes, Trump has exaggerated, and bragged, and puffed himself up. The vast majority of the alleged "13,000 lies" are just that, his puffery and braggadocio. He has also made campaign promises which he has variously succeeded in, or has yet to accomplish. Those he has partly succeeded in or has yet to accomplish are often counted as "lies" in the MSM. Meanwhile, like most public figures, he has also "lied" by omission, misrepresentation, etc..

Meanwhile, who has been keeping track of all the MSM lies?

Some of you may recall the ones we have been made aware of, usually by non-MSM sources. The ones which require those "trusted sources" to quietly "correct" their stories hours or days later, without any of the fanfare used when the "story" was first broadcast?

Then there are the ones they keep broadcasting, even despite video proof...like the "white supremacists are very fine people" falsehood.

Don't let us forget their "yellow journalism" (propaganda) where they make public opinion by telling the gullible what they need to think. What about all those lies, misrepresentations, etc.? "Bombshell," "Tipping point," "The beginning of the end," etc. :doh

Trump is a braggart, and he also makes promises he will accomplish greater things than are reasonably possible. It's because he is a salesman of the old school. Everything is going to be bigger, better, and the best...because that's how you sell when dealing with competitors doing the very same things.

If you think past leaders haven't been doing this, then it is only because they knew how to play the political game. Buttering up the Media, and making sure those who control the information stream were rewarded for their support. IMO the MSM paid them back by good publicity, and covering up or positively slanting (as much as possible) the bad things.

Think used car salesman on steroids... with a cocaine problem... that needs to sell you something.
 
thread title: Why does Trump lie so much?

Because he is such a habitual, pathological lier that the truth is down there around the very last thing he might utter and there are at least 10 lies in front of the truth that are far more likely to leave his foul mouth first.

I agree he's been lying all of his life, and all of his life he has been manipulative and deceptive, lowly character to be sure. Here's just a tiny snippet of his never-ending BS.

What do you call it when you accuse someone of doing what you do all the time?

Whatever you call it, that's what you and the Trump haters are doing.
 
Politicians who are lied about tend to become liars themselves. Hence Trump the guy was honest enough then he ran up against the NYT, CNN, the three major networks and more.

More deflection.
 


I watched this "Obama's 11 Scandals" video.

Scandal number two seems relevant to today's impeachment inquiry.

It's the one where Holder refused to honor a Congressional subpoena and subsequently was found in contempt of Congress.

Times change.

Nice try. They don’t come close to the man in contention to replace the Prince of Lies. “Macbeth hath murdered sleep,” said Lady M. Trump hath murdered truth.

Before he was President, his charities were used to filter money to his own businesses, he set up fake universities, his businesses forged papers to continue hiring illegal immigrants, committed tax fraud and cheated on his wife with strippers. People talking about him didn't make him a liar.

But here's the thing: if people talking about you makes you a gigantic piece of ****, maybe you shouldn't be working around other people. In fact, perhaps avoiding other human beings at all costs should be your career priority.

Nobody's perfect take the Bidens for example.
 
I think that Trump doesn't know the difference anymore. Anything to make himself look good is the truth to him.

If you had just stopped with "Nobody's perfect," that would have been the funniest comment in the thread.

Good point. I will have to work harder at calling Trump a liar and a cheat.
