trump's false claim Europe is giving him a $600 billion gift

[Craig234]

This is another disqualifying false claim by trump. He said they are giving him a $600 billion gift, and he can do anything he wants with it. It took two weeks for the facts to be released, but it's an agreement where Europe agrees to invest $600 billion in the US. Not a penny about a 'gift' and not at all money trump can use as he likes. Where is the accountabity? This shows egregious lying, or out of control incompetence, possibly his staff lying to him.

Trump’s claim about a $600 billion ‘gift’ from the European Union quietly falls apart

Remember when the president said the E.U. would give him $600 billion that he could “do anything” he pleases with? That weird boast has now collapsed.

Nothing new. We have a pathological liar who is also delusional sitting in the WH. This has been known for 10 years.

The EU leader was very clear when the "deal" was struck that the investments were aspirational and the EU had no ability to force any business to invest. I will bet my bottom dollar Fox did not report that part when they praised Trump for his great deal. Uninformed or misinformed, it is all the same thing.

This is the kind of shit the faithful suck up on a daily basis. Trump strong, everyone else weak.

World Leaders have realized that all he wants is the headlines.

So they can tell him any old nonsense and he will count it as a win and move on.

Trump’s false claim.

Trump’s lies.

Blatant lies. Intentional lies. Pathological lies. Day in and day out.

Call it what it is.

I just checked FOX News website and there’s no mention of any colossal deal with Europe.

I thought this was going to be crap and I'd rather not see things about trump, but this was actually good and pretty informative. It helps some things about trump make sense that are helpful.

If Trump's lips are moving he's lying.

I hope a bunch of Christians are reading this thread while they're on church.

 

[Craig234]

As I mentioned, there's a question. Was trump knowingly lying? Or did the idiot's advisors lie to him, telling him what he'd like to hear, and he believed it?

 

[Lycanthrope]

Part of the strategy in lying with every breath they can muster is citizens become numb to MAGAs lies.

Taco has lied about nearly everything, for nearly his entire life. So it may well be, now that he's elderly and in cognitive decline, that he actually believes the bullshit he spews.

As you suggest, what's more concerning is the sycophants surrounding him who encourage him in his bullshit.

Depends on the person. For myself I don’t think I’ll ever become numb to his lies, bluffoonery, and everyday BS. It got under my skin in the beginning and it still gets under my skin today. All politicians lie and BS, but there’s the way Trump does it that’s extremely irritating.

It doesn't help that you have the VP out there pathetically "BUH BUH BUH BIDEN"ing to every critical question thrown at him.

For a start spending of that size would take ages and require dozens of EU meetings and be open knowledge it wouldn't be secret.

Secondly the EU doesn't have that sort of money to just give away for fun.

Give the MAGA Baby his bottle so we can all get some sleep.

Or in the case of social media, his fingers/thumbs.
