Do you think that the Left makes up any lies about Trump... trying to state that he lies, or is racist, etc.?

Okay, this has been beaten into the ground more times than I'd care to count.
Yes, they do make up stories about Trump. Far more than I'd say actually exist about the man at this point. That isn't saying that the man himself doesn't have his own issue with the Truth. But that is far from the least of things that I'd be worried about with a politician.

But we've seen story, upon story show up that the left leaning media had to redact, or quietly sweep under the rug about Trump in the past two years. This doesn't even cover the amount of stories that claim some sort of hate crime and attribute it to Trump's actions. Because a multitude of those just flew out of nowhere after he was elected and to my knowledge, still persist to this day.

This is just a tired, old, concept right here.

Why would we need to lie and make up things when he gives us at least a half dozen examples a day of actual lies?

Conservatives seem to hate the entire idea of holding the president accountable for what he says. They've become the defender of lies because partisanship outweighs even the truth.

No, we hold him accountable. It's just that most of us are still a little sore about watching the last jackass get away with about as much lying as anyone could feasibly voice through a presidential term, much less two.

Trump does not get everything right but so what? Who does? Obama certainly didn't and Hillary didn't even come close.

Stop it, you're making us conservatives look just as hypocritical as liberals.

YES, his enemies lie about him because they find his policies abhorrent.


President Trump is one of the least "racist" presidents whom we have ever had.


He sincerely feels that ALL people should be treated equally. Nothing more and nothing less.


Some of his enemies call that attitude "racist" because his enemies sincerely feel that some people should be given special consideration.


Since his enemies cannot come up with a good excuse for their emphasis on special consideration, they can only holler "racist" to shut up any opposition.

At no point have any of you ever held Trump accountable for any of his lies, so you are being completely disingenuous. Second, by every objective standard Trump has outpaced all previous presidents in number of lies and magnitude.

I'll start taking you seriously when I see you critique Trump for lying instead of just excusing it.

The black Americans refused housing by Trump and his father in the 1970 disagree.

The falsely accused in the Central Park rape case would disagree.

Most Americans disagree after he defended Neo Nazi scum...

If anything he is the MOST racist President in the last 50 years.

While one might be able to argue from ignorance that the man isn't a confirmed racist, there are no good arguments against Trump being a liar, precisely because he has told literally hundreds of crystal clear objective lies, and journalists have documented evidence establishing those statements as lies.

He lied about his campaigns interactions with Russian nationals, he lied about the wall, he lied about releasing his tax returns, he lied about the payments to his mistresses, one could go on and on. It's also not just that he lies, but that he will tell bizzare and even sociopathic lies, such as his lying about donating to charities he's never given a dime to, or his lie about Time Magazine wanting to make him their person of the year.

Hell, the guy claimed just a couple of days ago that he had been talking to former presidents about the wall, but all of them have gone on record as saying they haven't talked to him, which proves beyond any reasonable doubt that he's lying about it to the public.

It really shouldn't need to be argued that this man lies compulsively and pathologically, given the frequency of the offenses, and how well documented they are, but apparently some people are so obsessed with hating "the establishment" they're willing to believe a clumsy reality TV bull****ter.

No, most of what is said about Trump is supported by what he tweets or spews out of a mouth that looks like a puckered asshole.

Trump gives them too much ammunition. The dude is a reactive bull****ter who does not consider ramifications of what he says.

I see incredible hypocrites when you consider how much the last few liberal presidents got away with and none of these folks were calling them out. Basically if you see someone talking about whataboutism, you are pretty likely to find hypocrisy.

I'm still not sure how much of it is a tactic by Trump. At some point it all becomes noise and is pushed so hard by MSM and haters that people end up asking what you are asking. How much are they making up or blowing out of proportion. And the truth is, a lot of it is exaggerated or bent truths. Enough that it all becomes questionable.

Right now, TDS is real and so bad that it's actually giving him a chance to win in 2020. It makes dems more likely to push the anti-Trump through primaries. Then the independents who decide elections are faced with extreme choices again and they are wondering if Trump is really so bad.

Scary stuff.

He really is that bad, but most people don’t want to think about it.

True or not, hammering it home on the level the anti-Trump folks are doing is counter-productive to getting a better president in 2 years. I certainly have no love or trust for the guy and would not mind seeing him out of office. I just don't want to see us switch for someone just as bad out of desperation or see him keep office because the desperation ruined the election.

Not to worry, the man is the consummate con-man the greatest in all of history. Fortunately he's never been able to fool all the people any of the time. I know he fools 30 to 38 percent of the people all the time … or does he? Did they really vote for him or just against Hillary? We may find out someday … may be not.

But to the point, why would anybody need to lie about trumps lies when he lies everyday at least 10 times a day? Anybody that thinks he doesn't is suffering from TDS (trump dream sickness) because you have to be dreaming to believe his horse****.

Now that's a good question.

There is so much to report on about Trump, yet the anti-Trump echo chamber constantly makes **** up. They constantly cite unnamed sources who tell them stuff that ends up getting denied and is ultimately found out to be false or just fades away from memory...until it's needed. Then it's resurrected and repeated as if it's fact and it's used to support some new made up nonsense.

So tell me...why do you need to lie and make things up?

I don't lie about anything. Trump lies daily, and the majority of the stories with unnamed sources end up being later confirmed by the white house. How many times has Trump denied something vehemently and called it fake news just for it to come out a month later that it actually did happen. Why do you refuse to hold Trump accountable for his lies? You cherry pick some errors one news agency made while ignoring the torrent of lies from his own mouth. So far the media's record has been pretty good and they've been far more truthful than Trump.

I think he lies on a very regular basis.

Yes, some people on the left make up (lie) crap about him. I would urge these folks to stop it.

By the way, I think some people on the right lie about Trump as well. They lie to justify things he has said and done.

I am always struck by Trump when he says "that's a lie" or "I never said that" when it is so easy to fact check.
