If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world? We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.
The latest example is Mr. Trump’s refusal to back off his Saturday morning tweet of three weeks ago that he had “found out that [Barack] Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory” on Election Day. He has offered no evidence for his claim, and a parade of intelligence officials, senior Republicans and Democrats have since said they have seen no such evidence.
Yet the President clings to his assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims. Sean Spicer—who doesn’t deserve this treatment—was dispatched last week to repeat an assertion by a Fox News commentator that perhaps the Obama Administration had subcontracted the wiretap to British intelligence.
[FONT="]All of this continues the pattern from the campaign that Mr. Trump is his own worst political enemy. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Two months into his Presidency, Gallup has Mr. Trump’s approval rating at 39%. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news, but if he doesn’t show more respect for the truth most Americans may conclude he’s a fake President.[/FONT]
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.https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-presidents-credibility-1490138920
Two months in and this is how things are going. Anyone shocked?
Trump? Show respect for the truth? :lamo

The Keystone XL pipeline won’t be required to use American-made steel to earn construction approval from the Trump administration, the White House said Friday, despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims. The president’s executive order mandating the use of U.S. steel is “specific to new pipelines or those that are being repaired,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday.
“Since this one is already current, under construction, the steel is already literally sitting there, it would be hard to go back,” she said. That’s welcome news to TransCanada Corp. as its moves forward with the $8 billion project. The pipeline would span 1,179 miles (1,897 kilometers) from Alberta through three states -- Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska -- before connecting to an existing network feeding crude to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. The line would carry as much as 830,000 barrels of oil a day, including some from North Dakota’s Bakken shale.

How does the media force Trump to lie? Answer? They don't. He chooses to.
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.

Cool.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.
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.

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.
Lie about what?How does the media force Trump to lie? Answer? They don't. He chooses to.
That most certainly is not an educated debate reply, that is a deflection and pretty much a general blanket ad hom.It's absolutely amazing just how much crap some of you can swallow and still not start choking for air.

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?
So you would have them discard all the steel already on the ground why?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.

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?"Truth" in Trump's mind, seems to be whatever he decides it is, despite evidence to the contrary.
Lie about what?
Be specific so we can actually analyze it... or else you are just creating more lame stream fake news as we speak.
No no no no...
Cool.

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.
