Trump’s falsehoods are eroding public trust, at home and abroad.

[FONT=&quot]All of this continues the pattern from the campaign that Mr. Trump is his own worst political enemy. [/FONT]

Two months in and this is how things are going. Anyone shocked?



Trump? Show respect for the truth?

What you should do is harp on the real problem... all the fake news that the out for Trump blood media thrusts at him 24/7...you know maybe? The fact that they are trying to denigrate his every move to make him less successful at the mission the American people hired him, our new head public servant, to do.

That not occur to you somehow I suppose?

One of my favorites from a very long list to pick from of Trump lies is his claim that he is forcing US made Steel to be used in the Keystone pipeline project.

Sorry Donald - not happening no matter what lies you told about that.

How does the media force Trump to lie? Answer? They don't. He chooses to.
 
I think I know what Trump is doing.

Most Presidents end up with a lie/error they become famous for.

Obama: If you like your plan you can keep it.
GWB: there are WMDs.
Clinton: I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
GHWB: Read my lips, no new taxes.
Reagan: we did not trade arms for hostages.

I think Trump is trying to overload us with so many obvious lies that no one of them will stick out after he leaves office.

On a serious note, I am concerned about the "boy who cried wolf" phenomenon. If we find ourselves in a crisis in which the People need to trust the information coming of out of the WH, we are screwed.
 

Could you post the data that proves a couple thousand miles of pipeline is sitting on the ground, ready to be installed, on a project that the Obama Administration killed?

Thank you.
 

The FBI is investigating the fake news generating bots for Trump, which generated almost 80% of social media at times during the election. Fake news is a 4chan creation.

The powers that be, including the WSJ, are laying the predicate for 25th Amendment action against Trump. And of course with great assistance from the cry-baby democrats.

By his actions, whether speaking the truth or not, he is easily depicted and portrayed as the buffoon he has always been. That's why I did not, could not, vote for him. Or Hillary.

After all, it is still true that in a time of universal deception (now), speaking the truth (whether it can be proved or not) is a radical act.

They are laying the ground work in the public's myopic and brainwashed eye, for ending the Trump presidency.

Cool.

Do you deny all the fake news, unsupported allegations in the press that have hit Trump since he announced his canidacy and have only multiplied by a hundred fold since the election? They were asking the o bomb hard questions like, "How do you think your mother would feel, if she were alive, about you becoming President?" All soft and cozy, even pulling at the heart strings... then, before he has DONE A DAMNED THING, they give him the Nobel Peace Prize... give me a ****ing break.

The difference in the "honeymoons" of the two newly elected presidents is quite stark. The o bomb's honeymoon? 8 straight years. Trump's? Bbbbwwhhhahahahahahaha, never happened. Anybody with even a smidgen of objectivity can see that its the press that is trying to lower Trump's trustworthiness across all boundaries... all Trump is doing is fighting back, as he should cause he is kicking ass.

Thank you.

The article I presented quoted a White House spokesperson saying that. Perhaps you missed it?


If you quarrel with her, use this White House phone number

(202) 456-1111

perhaps she will speak to you and call a news conference to meet your concerns?
 

It's absolutely amazing just how much crap some of you can swallow and still not start choking for air.
 
I look at it this way ... just let Trump-B-Trump and everything will take care of itself :lol:
 

So you all you have to go by is an interpretation based on the brief quote included in the article?

I guess the answer to my question is "No, I can't provide any data to support my claim."

Frankly, I knew that already. Just wanted to see what type of spin would result. You've done better in the past.
 
So you would have them discard all the steel already on the ground why?

Is the pipeline, ongoing as of Trump's inauguration, to be made of/repaired with US steel?
 
"Truth" in Trump's mind, seems to be whatever he decides it is, despite evidence to the contrary.
So you have performed some kind of Vulcan mind meld with Trump have you? And how do you decide what is truth, you let someone else tell you, you don't decide in your own mind?

Theoretically speaking of course.
 

Trump is a personality disorderd narcissistic compulsive liar. Your undying love for such a creature is frankly bizarre.
 
No no no no...

I am not knocking myself out... lay out a lie and we can discuss it. If you are afraid that you simply cannot back up your claims, I totally understand and accept your concession of having nothing.

the link is there. Go right on ahead and explain them away.
