Fact check: 18 false claims Trump made on '60 Minutes'

[berg80]

He's a New Yorker.
A serial exaggerator.
Here's a clue I'll throw your way, although I don't know why I'm bothering ...

In a 2020 email released on Monday by the Justice Department, a federal prosecutor informed colleagues that President Trump’s name appeared on the flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet “many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware).”

The email, written in January 2020 by an unidentified federal prosecutor in Manhattan, noted that Mr. Trump was listed as a passenger on Mr. Epstein’s jet at least eight times from 1993 to 1996, including a few instances in which other passengers apparently included young women. The prosecutor wrote the message for “situational awareness” and “didn’t want any of this to be a surprise down the road,” according to the email.

The frequency of Mr. Trump’s travel on Mr. Epstein’s planes may have been news to prosecutors at the time, but the trips have since become public knowledge.

Trump has previously denied flying on Epstein’s plane, writing on Truth Social in January 2024 that, “I was never on Epstein’s Plane, or at his ‘stupid’ Island.”

Lawmakers raise new questions about Trump after latest Epstein drop

“The new DOJ documents raise serious questions about the relationship between Epstein and Donald Trump,” Democrats on the House Oversight Committee wrote Tuesday.

When he lied about flying on Epstein's plane was that an exaggeration?

Just keep fantasizing that THIS TIME you've got Trump dead to rights. For the 3,498th time.

Oh, you meant the 2020 election that Joe Biden "won" because the Democrat Party cheated?
That one?
And the January 6th protest that turned into a small riot but was called an "insurrection" by the liars who control the media? The protest that Trump urged should be peaceful? That one? The "insurrection" that featured middle-aged folks, unarmed, taking selfies walking peacefully between the velvet ropes? That one?

ha ha. You guys are such obvious hypocrites. You argued so hard that it "wasn't an insurrection" but today Trump calls anything that he doesn't like an insurrection.

Yea, you're new. We've already had that debate about the election. It was decided that Trump tried to steal the election FACT and mail in voting because of a god damned pandemic really fucked Trump. Sorry, but a pandemic was happening. Of course we mailed ballots out to every registered voter so they could vote by mail. It was a pandemic. You wanted us to go stand in line during a pandemic? Get real.

It wasn't a "pandemic". It was a biological war waged against us by China.
Anyway, there was more cheating in the 2020 election than any in history.
If you think that braindead lurching vampire dumbfuck Joe Biden won more votes than any candidate in history, your head is even further up your ass than I thought.
You're a fool. A clown. You'll believe anything the Democrats tell you, just like the North Koreans.

You know what's funny about you? You are still arguing things that we've already settled here. You're a newby. You must not have got the memo but back in September, a month before you joined

Trump acknowledges losing the 2020 election 'by a whisker'​

The former president admitted during a podcast appearance that he did not win the election against Biden.

Do you also still insist Bush didn't lie us into Iraq? Then why did Trump say Pelosi should have impeached him for it?

“When she first got in and was named speaker, I met her. And I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost – it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would’ve been a wonderful thing,” Trump told Blitzer in the interview.

This is why Trump was pissed when HE got impeached twice. If Bush could get away with lying us into a war and rigging 2 elections, why can't he? It's so unfair.

Bingo. I've also noticed that he's often used the term "seditionist". He wouldn't even know what the word meant until he was called one.

Some guy gets caught jaywalking now and in MAGA world he's A SEDITIONIST COMMITTING AN INSURRECTION I TELL YOU

Bush rigged two elections? Jesus Christ, where do you get this shit? It's like reading the rantings of a madman.
I may be a newbie here but I've forgotten more about politics than you'll ever know, pal.

See how stupid American people are? It happened and you don't even ******* know it happened. You must watch Fox News.

I'm not going to get all into it but

a. Diebold Voting Machines were rigged. That's why Trump believed Dominion were.
b. Bush started a riot and got the Florida recount stopped and the decision went to the Right Wing Supreme Court. This is what Trump was trying to accomplish. Only his plan wouldn't have put it in the Supreme's hands. I think he wanted the Senate or House to vote on who won and he would have won had they done that.

Fake electors?

Trump used many of Bush's tactics to try and steal 2020. So why did Trump get impeached but not Bush?

Don't forget, which you will, Trump claimed the election was rigged in 2016 too. He had shady plans for that election too if he lost. Are you stupid?

And the Supreme's couldn't help him in 2020. They would have if it was closer but Trump lost every swing state.

Last thing. C. I kind of think 2016 was rigged. Jill Stein saw shady shit happened in Michigan and wanted a recount but was shot down because she didn't lose, Hillary lost. Hillary is a Deep state globalist who doesn't cry when an election is rigged and she loses it. Neither was Gore. They took it like men. Not like Trump did. Remember Trump wanted the Georgia SOS to find him 10,000 votes? I believe Rick Snyder our MI governor found Trump 10,000 votes in 2016. And Trump appointed his boss' wife to run the Department of Education.

I'm watching a show on Vice called "While the Rest of us Die"

They talked about how Trump uses the insurrection word against any protesters or cities who protest ICE.

 

[berg80]

Just keep fantasizing that THIS TIME you've got Trump dead to rights.

He lied about being on Epstein's plane. I realize lying, for him, is as natural as breathing. But it raises the question of why he lied and why he is trying so hard..........breaking the law in the process...........to keep the public from seeing the entire file.

We've already got Trump dead to rights several times. You guys just don't care. And when you have the Senate, House, Supreme Court and half of America is stupid as ****, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

So then don't blame us when we are at war, in a recession or if the middle class can't afford more than 2 dolls this xmas.

You don't have shit.
You're just another pissed off fraud.

Hey dummy. If I was making more, doing better, paying less under Trump don't you think I'd admit it? Wouldn't that be an obvious fact to all of us?

Stop gaslighting us dude.

And if Trump's economy was good wouldn't have I have some shit? You're right. This year I'm only getting 2 dolls not the 27 I got under Biden. Put that on a bumper sticker. LOL

"Insurrectionist", "seditionist", "fascist". I don't know if they don't know what the words mean, or if they just toss them around to own da libz. "They also do it with "cult".

You can always tell when they've been stung by a word. They'll start using it out of context.

You know what word triggered Trump? Affordability. Last year he was fascinated that he won with the word Groceries.

Biden didn't cause inflation. So it might have been appropriate for him last year to say maybe that year we need to cut back. Not buy as much as we used to. But just imagine what Republicans would have said.

Now, today, Trump said this and it's because of his tariffs. He says it's Biden inflation but that's just a ******* lie. So imagine Biden actually causing inflation and then telling us this. What would Republicans have said?

Yeah, they were going to blame Biden for the inflation, even though it was inevitable. These people have considered themselves macroeconomic experts since back when Limbaugh told them they were. They don't know what caused the inflation, they don't know what caused the 2008 Meltdown, they don't know the relationship between markets and economics, but they sure think they do.

I don't discuss markets or macroeconomic analysis -- my profession for over two decades -- with them any more. It's depressing. I can handle ignorance, and I can handle arrogance. Hell, we ALL have our moments. But arrogant ignorance? Dunning Kruger? No.

Trump owns you. He lives inside you. He's in the shower with you, in your bed, in your car, sitting next to you in your office. He's everywhere. Because you've let him own you.

Oh they know. They just pretend to not know. How do I know they know? Because when it's on Trump's watch, suddenly they know the details behind why prices go up. Suddenly they have excuses when last year they accepted none.
