Wait a minute. You criticize Trump for name calling and in the same line, insult all his supporters?
Can you name me one President that never lied, never had gaffes, never said anything negative about another person?
They all lie at one point or another. It's not how many lies or what kind of lies that are important. It's what the lies are that counts. Trump not releasing his tax returns didn't cost us a trillion dollars and make millions of Americans lives miserable. When Trump made a statement about McCain's service to our country, he was castigated by both sides. But that didn't make Republicans turn into Democrats no more than Bill Clinton's perjury charge turned any Democrat into a Republican. In fact, there was overwhelming support for the guy by the left.
Your...all politicians lie defense is getting tiresome
No politician has ever lied with the frequency and audacity of Donald Trump.....not even close
Trump will create a lie even when the truth will be just as acceptable. While most politicians are looked at with a degree of suspicion...a Trump déclaration has no credibility either at home or abroad
Out of any lie Trump has told, no harm came to me, my family or my employer. Can't say the same thing about the Kenyan Kid.
When the right pointed out Smoking Joe's touchy feely contact with people, the left said it was no big deal.......that's just how Joe is. Well.......this is just how Trump is.
Too bad you didn't get the big tax cut he promised the non rich. He said none of it would go to the rich and it turned out 83% did...
Meanwhile Obama's lie about your doctor etc was a prediction in 2007 that Congress made into a lie. In other words it was a prediction. He did not want a mandate originally, Democrats in Congress changed that. Not a lie.
All the lies from Fox and Trump have made you into an irrational dupe. Glad you don't mind...
He said people like him would pay more.
Ray doesn’t know it but he will pay for that lie when his social security and Medicare gets cut to pay for those tax breaks.
So where are these cuts at liar?
SS and Medicare are separate funds although Medicare is paid from the general fund on top of contributions. Nobody is cutting either program because of tax cuts. If you want to worry about Medicare, better pray that Sanders doesn't become President. What he wants to do to Medicare is drive it into insolvency.
So you aren't going to need social security? You must be a great truck driver.
It's not just Medicare: Trump budget eyes Social Security cuts, too
“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or
Medicaid,” Donald Trump
declared in 2015. “Every other Republican’s going to cut, and even if they wouldn’t, they don’t know what to do because they don’t know where the money is. I do. I do.”
It became
a staple of his entire national candidacy: no matter what, Americans could count on him to champion these social-insurance programs.
Four years later, the president is, in fact, proposing
deep cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. As the
New York Times reported, Trump’s newly proposed budget completes the trifecta by targeting Social Security, too.
It’s obviously, for example, a profound broken promise: as a Republican candidate, Trump swore up and down for months that he’d never try to cut Social Security, but here he is anyway, doing the opposite of what he said he’d do.
It’s also a policy failure: a whole lot of us predicted that the president and his allies would go after popular social-insurance programs – often referred to as “entitlements” – as a way to help pay for the Republican tax breaks for the wealthy. With his new budget plan, Trump is helping prove the point.
As regular readers probably
recall, as the 2018 midterm elections drew closer, a variety of Republican leaders, cognizant of broad public support for programs like Medicare and Social Security,
said it’s GOP officials who
really support the programs – reality be damned.
Trump led the way, going so far as to
argue just six months ago, “We’re saving Social Security; the Democrats will destroy Social Security. We’re saving
Medicare; the Democrats want to destroy Medicare.” The president has pushed the same message at many of
his campaign rallies.
Soon after, voters handed Democrats their biggest wins in U.S. House races since the Watergate era – which, for some reason, the president interpreted as a justification to betray his own assurances to voters.
