But isn't lying a test of character? Everyone was applauding Jimmy Carter for the life he lived, including conservatives, and a large part of that was for his honesty (even if his foreign policies sucked).

We value honesty, or do we? Is a comfortable lie better than the hearing the truth? Can a man who can't be honest be truly trusted? Or are we labeling someone as a liar who isn't?

So, let's do this, straight up question (hopefully without the deviations and whatabout so and so.....) - Does Donald Trump lie a lot?

If you don't think Trump lies a lot then you obviously don't pay attention to what he says and does.

He's completely unable to go a few hours without making a blatant lie and then doubling and trippleing down on that lie.
It's just who he is.

I voted other because he lies most of the time, not always. With a few exceptions, Because he lies most of the time he has little to no credibility even if he’s telling the truth.

Please list some statements that are not lies or based on lies or accompanied by lies.

His "truth" is in the negative percentile.

How many golf championships has he "won".

TRUTH: he’s said he would crack down and deport illegal immigrants.

TRUTH: He’s said he would crack down and go after the cartels and illegal drugs.

TRUTH: he said he would eliminate DEI in hiring and promotions.

Who gives a flying f*** about how many golf championships he’s won except some pathetic weenies?

Lies, lies,lies, lies lies and more lies.

In time you will find those claims you've made a complete bullshit too.

Donald Trump and his ilk have never told a truth in their lives. If they do by accident it will become a lie.

That leaves me questioning ALL Americans since you love a liar so much. Does any of you tell the truth?

Not from shit posts like that

You asked for examples and I gave you several examples. Your rebuttal rather than acknowledging them you said they were lies and more lies. Not very much of an honest rebuttal. Now you claim I’m a Trumpest because I called you out. If you check out my profile you will notice that I’m an independent. I take great satisfaction calling out both sides if I think they’re wrong and I’ll defend both sides if they’re right.

Trump has a reckless disregard for the truth (he doesn't care, won't do the minimal work to see if something is true or not), which is a part of the legal definition used in fraud, giving false statements or lying. Whether he believes something to be true or not, if he deliberately ignores any contrary evidence, he has a reckless disregard for what is actually true. This makes him a liar.

How about getting away from the policy decisions he has made that YOU approve of and just answer the question as to whether he lies a lot.
If you ARE going to stick to policies, where is the peace between Ukraine and Russia, where is the replacement for Obamacare, where are the trade deals he promised (other than the one with UK), where is the finished wall?

This is why I pointed out in my opening comment about the respect for Jimmy Carter, an honest President, even if his policies didn't suit you. Trump is a grossly dishonest man. But you like his policies. Great, but that wasn't the question I asked.

OMG, then the petulance and childish responses because the rest of us don't view the world you do. You think you won something with that snarky reply? Got news for you, it makes you sound petulant and resentful.

If you read @fearsndloathings question you would know that I responded to his: when did Trump never lie. You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. I’ll wait for your surrender statement too. And by the way, I’ll keep your sword. Petulance is victorious!🥳

Lying is bad enough. Unfortunately Trump has actually built his administration based on lies like these:

The 2020 election was stolen.

Climate change is a hoax.

Most illegal immigrants are dangerous criminals, only some are good people.

Tariffs on China are paid by China.

China operates the Panama canal.

The U.S. is the only country with birthright citizenship.

January 6 was a love fest.

EV’s are going to put our automakers out of business.

Trump won the 2024 election by a landslide.

Ukraine started the Russia/Ukraine war.

There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.

Vietnam charges a 90% tariff to the USA.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles.

Never, this question is just TDS!

Just like the 30,573 times it was TDS in his first term!

😂😂oh yeah, I forgot. You’re one of those people who’s always above fray. Talk about a snarky hypocrite who can’t handle criticism. Pot meet kettle.
 
Trump Sugar Coats things to his benefit. He is not saint fixated on absolute truth either!
He also Bluffs and psychs people out to get them to do stuff, and that does work.

But people Fauci, Schiff, mayorkas, biden ,Pelosi and harris lie far more and worse, and they do so to HARM AMERICANS !
Trump is helping Americans and America !
 
I voted 8. “Other”. I would have ordinarily voted 1. “All the time, he does it on purpose, he knows his audience,” but that’s giving him too much credit.

He does it all the time, but it’s because he’s so used to lying. It’s a way of life for him, to lie to everyone about everything. He sees others as stupid, but he just can’t help himself. It’s like his self-proclaimed golf scores and supposed club championships.

He’s like a six-year-old who discovers he can get away with things and avoid punishment by lying, and he’s never grown out of it. He just continues to do it without thinking.

Here is an example of a lie. July 2020. FOX interview with Chris Wallace. He said he was signing a complete and comprehensive healthcare bill "in two weeks". Where is it?
