Why Does Trump Lie So Much? Is It Good Politics?

[jknowgood]

Trump, it was sunny this morning. Liberals, there was one cloud in the sky, you're a liar. lol

 

[Rocko]

Multiple fact checkers have published long lists of trump lies, easy to find of Google. No such list exist for President Obama.
Trump=thousands of lies after one year as President
Obama=a handful of alleged lies of eight years as President

Be willfully ignorant. It’s your problem

He's very comfy in his little echo chamber world

Seriously

 

[BluesLegend]

Trump lies impulsively

Even when he doesn’t have to. He seems to prefer his own version of alternative facts

Just like Obama.

that
Is that a campaign speech? The Toronto Tribune listed 1,500 lies told by trump during his campaign.

Moving the goal post are we? You said Hussein didn’t lie, yet I provided proof he did and your retort is trump lied. Btw those weren’t the only lies Hussein told. He lied almost every time he spoke. And it’s sad that you can’t recognize that

 

[BluesLegend]

Dem's ran their best liar and we ran ours, we won!

 

[rightwinger]

You guys never cared when Hussein lied

He didn’t

Bullshit

He didn’t

 

[rightwinger]

Those were not lies

You can keep your doctor........suuuuuuuuure

I kept my doctor, as did most everyone else.

You see, this is where your dishonesty comes in to play. He said everyone will keep their insurance and doctor. He won lie of the year for it. It was the biggest domestic policy lie in the history of our country, yet u choose to move the goal posts for him, instead of recognizing what it is. That’s some hack shit bruh

He said "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" - for 95%+ of the audience that statement that was true. For a few% it wasn't true.

But never mind all that becasuse it doesn't even matter. Even if we take Obama to have lied. Thats ONE lie campared to Trump's daily gross falsehood spreading.

Trump has 3000+ of them for his 466 days in office

Analysis | In 466 days, President Trump has made over 3,000 false or misleading claims

Did I say "Obama never lied"?
You can not back up your claims about Obama being a prolific liar. You just can not. He was President for eight years. You should have a long list of examples.

Think about it. The trump defense is "...BUT WHAT ABOUT OBAMA..."!

They are all at least this stupid folks, every last one of them.

The short answer is that the left has Media Matters who's stated mission is to monitor every word spoken by republicans, especially the president, and to spin it and throw it out to the salivating mongrels in the left wing blogs for publication. The left has no sense of humor so a joke told by the president would be spun as a lie. An exaggeration is in the mind of the beholder and all politicians exaggerate but if it's a republican it will always go down as a lie in the minds of the crazy left. Republicans have no propaganda source like MM and they have better things to do than whine about jokes and exaggerations.

 

[Rocko]

Those were not lies

Yea they were. Dude lide about Selma Borning him, his uncle liberating auswitz, reverend wright, Benghazi etc....... don’t even let me get to his policy lies. He would say anything to get his poll numbers up. That’s just a fact. You’d have to be a tremendous hack to believe obama didn’t lie

Yea it's a fucking joke when POTUS tells Americans that his campaign was wiretapped, and spied on for political reasons by a prior President.

It's a fucking joke when he writes a letter in his son's name filled with bullshit on why he was holding meetings with Russians.

It's a fucking joke when he fires the FBI director for supposedly going too rough on Hillary, only to later publicly admit it was actually about "the Russia thing"


HAHA! HEHE! Such funny jokes! Can laugh all day too because it's always showtime at the bullshit factory that is Trump.

Republicans were spreading lies that people would be forced to give up their policies and take Obamacare. That was a hundred percent LIE

Obama replied, if you like your policy, you can keep your policy. 98 percent of Americans kept their policy

You said “when did obama lie?” You were implying that he didn’t . And now you are lying

Those are not lies. They are campaign objectives some of which were achieved, some not

Obama’s statement about Selma was a reference to Selma representing the whole cIvil rights movement ........nobody was expected to take it literally
He had an uncle who liberated a Concentration camp.....wasn’t Auswitz. Being incorrect in retelling a story is not lying. It is only a lie if you know he didn’t liberate that camp

Obama did not lie

Trump does nothing but lie

 

[bendog]

Everyone knows by now that President Trump lies everyday about matters major and matters trivial. Some think he has a mental illness that causes him to lie. Others think his lies are well thought out and planned for his propaganda purposes. Either one, the guy can not be trusted or believed about anything. He has turned the Presidency into a entity to be mocked and made fun of. Amazingly, folks who complained about a President having a sexual affair in the White House because it showed a lack of character and respect for the office of the President seem perfectly alright about a guy lying everyday to the public and citizens about anything and everything. He even lies about things that are easy to prove almost immediately after he tells the lie. He lies about things people say, even when videos easily prove he is lying.

So, why does Trump lie so much? Good politics or mental illness?

They all lie. But Trump lies about meaningless stuff just to inflate his ego. So I go with MI.

I used to think he lies about Spygate were meaningless and just motivated on hiding how much he owes Oligarchs, which all non-Nevada casinos seem to have in common, but I'm thinking it may be more serious.

Again, there’s no way anyone who follows politics that doesn’t know for a fact obama was a liar. You probably know he was a lying scumbag, but you want to make your side look good, rather than having an honest conversation about it.

I kept my doctor, as did most everyone else, even though it wasn't true in absolute sense that EVERYONE would.

Trump lies are far more blatant and FAR FAR FAR FAR more volumous.
