The Liar-in-chief
The more a person lies, the more we lose trust in them.That's understandable. Afterall, they are likely to lie again.
People can't trust what they have to say.
One president has lied far more than any other.
Over 16,000 lies or misleading statements confirmed in just his first 3 years as president.
That's astonishing, despicable, and unprecedented !
And the worst part, is that each year of his presidency, he tells even more lies.
Although already the worst, somehow he manages to annually get worse.

Fact Checker Analysis
President Trump made 16,241 false or misleading claims in his first three years

Three years after taking the oath of office, President Trump has made more than 16,200 false or misleading claims — a milestone that would have been unthinkable when we first created the Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement he has uttered.
We started this project as part of our coverage of the president’s first 100 days, largely because we could not possibly keep up with the pace and volume of the president’s misstatements. We recorded 492 claims — an average of just under five a day — and readers demanded that we keep it going for the rest of Trump’s presidency.
Little did we know what that would mean.
In 2017, Trump made 1,999 false or misleading claims. In 2018, he added 5,689 more, for a total of 7,688. And in 2019, he made 8,155 suspect claims.
In other words, in a single year, the president said more than the total number of false or misleading claims he had made in the previous two years. Put another way: He averaged six such claims a day in 2017, nearly 16 a day in 2018 and more than 22 a day in 2019.
As of Jan. 19, his 1,095th day in office, Trump had made 16,241 false or misleading claims. Only 366 days to go — at least in this term.
The president added to his total on Sunday evening with more than 20 Trumpian claims — many old favorites — during a triumphant speech at the annual conference of the American Farm Bureau Federation. He incorrectly described trade agreements — suggesting Canadian dairy tariffs were eliminated and an agreement with Japan to reduce tariffs on $7 billion of farm products was “a $40 billion deal” — and also falsely asserted that “tough” farmers and ranchers were crying as he signed a repeal of Obama-era regulations. A video of the event shows no one crying.

Lying has become his general way of communicating and oddly, it appears he has no shame in doing so. He has proven over 16,000 times, that he is untrustworthy.
Or as Jimmy Kimmel previously referred to him, as "the great misleader" ;

What are you going to do when you're forced to move on from him in 5 years?
The more troubling part are the people that believe these lies and keep on following.
But, there are also some, who have an agenda, and whose job is to
lead people astray.
BW - perhaps no president has been 100% honest, but Trump is a liar to historic proportions.
What are you going to do when you're forced to move on from him in 1 year
LOL.....Need a hand up jimmi
We already recognize the truth, despite what you ineffectively TRY to convey.
It doesn't matter how many times you get banned, or how many profiles you start.
Big lies that cost the nation and citizens but let's keep allowing it. They've done nothing but lie and we keep paying the price.
We have policies that actually help the country, put the demonrat party more in their place and the sheep talk about lies like it's something new. Economy, more security, more actual law enforcement, less taxes fines, regulation, and rights violations. And the sheep bleat what?
They want the communism and terrorism to continue. Further more, they want us to continue bearing the burdens with less rights, more fines, taxes, regulations, less law enforcement, less economical opportunity, and laid wide open for any thing else we can't afford or shouldn't have to deal with from the outside.
You can't get much more communist than that. Vote for bernie jimmy. He should be your new idol by now.
Odds are high Trump will make history as the first president impeached by the house with full hatred and anti-U.S.partisanship but re-elected because the larger part of the country can see the truth. If it's about politics and lies, at least this time, the demonrats will have pushed the country in the right direction for a change. AWAY from them with their lies and damages.
It is already in effect, as of this week;
Their head isn't only in the ground.
Mostly, it's up Trump's butt, kissing it from the inside out and making ridiculous excuses for him, excluding Mitt.
I never though of you as a comedian...lol...
Including your President...'Art of the Deal' co-author rips Trump: He's 'incapable of reading a book, much less writing one’...
nothing has been deregulated to allow any more pollution. It's been deregulated enough
What is accurate, is that both water & air pollution regulation has been cut and the funding for the EPA has been cut too. So, the ability to test the levels of both types of pollution has been reduced too.
You should institute a travel ban on Democrats before its too late for the rest of your country.
Talk about a confused soul...
History has a way of repeating itself...if others refuse to look closely or not to learn from the past...
Poor jimmy still can't grasp the congress makes the spending bills.
May I remind you, that Republicans controlled both wings of Congress when Trump was sworn in and until the Democrats gained control of the House and were sworn in January of this year.
So, don't try to blame Trump's huge deficits on the Democrats.
The tax cuts didn't help the rich or cause extended debt.
The less taxes that were brought in from the rich, the more there was a need for loans and the more money was loaned.....with interest, and the deeper the country is now in debt, and the less money there is for Americans.
It isn't evident.
If you are sarcastic...that would be fitting...
another little loophole...just for your entertainment of course.
I think the loophole in this is to 'knowingly lie'
another little loophole...just for your entertainment of course.
is false or not ?
Hmmm..
There's definitely some lies going on. Major cover ups too. It's not on the part of Trump. Every time he follows through on a promise, that's less the demonrats have to lie about when campaigning for votes. He's cutting into their racketeering process of creating government dependancy while allowing rights and freedom. Many choices and opportunbities come with those economic gains.
There isn't much being left open for the demonrats to keep lieing about. Still plenty they're trying to keep covered up though.
However, I don't think it contributes to actual happiness, unless you prescribe to the statement,
"ignorance is bliss". I'd much rather actually know, that I had something good,
than not know & not care.
Touché.
Funny how U.S. emissions drop every year
They drop BECAUSE of the regulations & long term goals in that industry.
That's progress. Progress is not undertaken by rolling back laws that regulate emissions. Quite the opposite. Challenge them to do better, and they are much more likely to do so. Fine them for not doing so, and you have installed more impetus to do so. Given the opportunity, industry has proven that they will ignore problems and dangers in exchange for profits.
J&J with baby powder, the tobacco industry, and the Ford Pinto are just some of the many examples. They CAN do better. Regulation is needed to help ensure they do so. Future generations depend upon what we do now.
We need new content.
.
If that's so, add what you consider good content then.
And perhaps finally give up the trolling. It's old & boring.
Commenting on a blog that is at least 2 pages long is not trolling. At least I have never considered comments trolling. This isn't MD, the blogs are long and there are a lot of comments.
Scapegoating is wrong...and stating that he could walk down 5th Avenue and shoot someone without repercussion...well that is just sick...
I would hope that people woulf find a more suitable President...at this point Bush would do...lol...
Cheers
I don't like Biden messing with the kids and the worse part is he doesn't get it so he's not totally mentally there.
