Trump lies about Obama again

Trump has lied before when he blames Obama for his own family separation policy.

Trump lies about wind power

This is 200% right. The media must do more to ask why Trump lies.

More on Trump’s lies

Cillizza’s column on Trump’s lies is good as far as it goes.

However, it leaves out a lot. Most of the media was slow to call Trump’s false statements lies. Some people say you can’t call his statements lies because you don’t know his motivation. Maybe it’s just an error. If he repeats something after the media has pointed out the truth, it’s a lie. He says the same lies over and over again. He lies so often, he knows the media can’t spend as much time as needed correcting his lies. If they don’t call a lie a lie, Trump wins.

Trump takes advantage of the fact that the media would be considered biased against him if they confronted him on his lies. They should ask him questions like this but never will:

“Why did you say your father was born in Germany when he was born in New York?”

“Why did you say your campaign had no contacts with Russia when 16 people had approximately 100 contacts?” (I’m not sure of the exact numbers- I know it’s around these.)

“Why did you compose a false statement about the meeting your son had with a Russian in Trump Tower?”

I think the media should stop televising his lies. Put them online with the facts next to them. Someone should talk to a child psychologist about how they get kids to stop lying. I am sure putting the lies on national TV is not part of the correct answer.

Trump’s spokespeople have to lie to support his lies. I wouldn’t have Kellyanne Conway or Sarah Sanders on TV as long as they tell lies. I understand that anchors like Chris Cuomo want to show both sides but it doesn’t work if one side lies.

and now for more Trump lies….

These aren’t wild claims, they are lies!

Trump lies more than ever

The volume of lies has increased in 2019. There are three reasons for this in my opinion.

  1. He has more to lie about. He has been president for over two years now so he can lie about what he and his administration have done.
  2. There are no consequences for lying. His base thinks he tells he truth. Republicans who know better are too cowardly to speak up. Trump has discredited media sources that document his lies and his cult believes his “alternate facts”. People like me already hate him and more lies will not change our opinion.
  3. The media repeats and broadcasts his lies. Even if they refute his claims, they still put them out for public consumption. I doubt that the way to get Trump to stop lying is to spread his lies.

This is going to make debates in the 2020 general election very difficult. Te Democratic candidate will basically tell the truth and Trump will lie.

Why lie about something that is easy to verify?

Trump’s wrong attacks on the Washington Post and New York Times

The Washington Post and New York Times told the truth. Just because Mueller didn’t charge Trump with criminal activity doesn’t mean the articles were wrong. Trump should not attack them. He says ‘no collusion”. I say “no retractions”.

Trump. Jr. doesn’t know much about Pulitzer prizes so he should keep his mouth shut. Sad!

Trump lies, then changes policy on the Great Lakes

More Trump lies

His staff lies like Trump
He’s told the wiretapping lie many times before.
They’re lying.

Trump and Republicans make unfounded attacks on Schiff

They’re the liars. It’s pathetic how congressional Republicans just fall in line with Trump’s baseless attacks.

Trump’s the one loves Putin, our enemy. Schiff is a patriot.

I support Adam Schiff.

I agree. I thought Hurd was better than this.

The lie about the Trump Tower meeting

The statement dictated by Trump was a lie. What was Hope Hicks’s role? I don’t understand why there were so many lies if the Trump campaign didn’t do anything wrong.
