TRUMP LIES!

Ukraine interfered in the U.S. election.
Why this is a serious lie.
Trump has consistently denied or downplayed the role Russia had in interfering in the 2016 election- and in doing so has constantly attacked the credibility of American intelligence community.
The effect:
a) Emboldening Russia to interfere again
b) Reducing the effectiveness of American intelligence.
c) Harmed election security in the United States.
"Article II allows me to do whatever I want,” Trump
"Then I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president,”
Of course the Constitution doesn't say that.
Why this matters- Trump is describing a dictatorship not a President whose powers are defined in the Constitution. And Trump has acted accordingly:
a) Breaking the law and withholding funds allocated by Congress to Ukraine
b) Taking money appropriated by Congress for the military to build his wall(again- not paid for by Mexico)
c) Asked a foreign government to announce an investigation into his political rival for his personal political benefit.

“You’re not paying for those tariffs. China’s paying for those tariffs,” the president told an Ohio crowd in August. “Until such time as there is a deal, we will be taxing the hell out of China.
So this lie has destroyed lives- and fucked people over.
J.P. Morgan estimates the average American household will be down $1,000 per year thanks to the newest round of tariffs on Chinese goods.
And that is just what consumers are paying.
Trump trade war with China has cost 300,000 U.S. jobs, Moody's estimates
Although U.S. unemployment may be at its lowest level in nearly 50 years, the jobless rate would be even lower if not for the U.S.-China trade war, Moody's Analytics said in a recent analysis.
The data speaks for itself — the trade war is having a serious negative impact on the U.S. economy," Deutsche Bank economist Torsten Slok said in a note to investors this week. That impact includes a drop in firms planning capital expenditures in the next three to six months, falling CEO and business confidence, and a decline in job openings.
The White House's imposition of tariffs on hundreds of billions worth of Chinese imports has resulted in 300,000 fewer jobs being created and reduced U.S. gross domestic product by an estimated 0.3%, Moody's Analytics' chief economist Mark Zandi said in the report.
Tracking the Economic Impact of Tariffs
- Tariffs imposed so far by the Trump administration are estimated to reduce long-run GDP by 0.26 percent, wages by 0.16 percent, and employment by 198,700 full-time equivalent jobs.
- The administration’s outstanding threats to impose additional tariffs would, if acted upon, further reduce GDP by 0.24 percent, wages by 0.17 percent, and employment by 184,200 full-time equivalent jobs.
- The negative economic effects of imposed, threatened, and retaliatory tariffs threaten nearly a third of the projected long-term economic gains from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
On a personal level, I know American companies that have eliminated positions due to the tariff war with China, and I know others who have shifted production from the United States to other countries because of Trump's tariffs on steel.
"Trade Wars are good and easy to win.
Trump imposed Steel and Aluminum tariffs in 2017- and they are still in place. The Trade war continues- clearly not 'easy' to win.
The result is that American companies are paying more for steel and aluminum- not just foreign steel and aluminum- domestic steel and aluminum prices have gone up too.
The Unexpected Side Effects of Trump’s Trade War
Farm income is down, and equipment prices are sky-high.
Some large equipment manufacturers, including John Deere and Caterpillar, announced almost immediately after the tariffs were implemented last summer that they would raise their prices to adjust for the higher price of steel and aluminum imports. It’s not just large manufacturers, though—small, locally based equipment manufacturers have also had to raise prices or look elsewhere for steel. In Montana, a horse-trailer manufacturer was forced to hike prices by about 20 percent last summer because of the tariffs. Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded John Deere’s stock in February, citing “a real risk to farm equipment demand” if the trade war continues.
Many farmers are precluded from buying new agricultural equipment because of a combination of higher prices and lower profits. But that puts them in a catch-22. Farmers replace their equipment only every five to seven years. Those who were going to replace it this year and now can’t afford to are forced to repair it instead. And because steel costs are up, so too are the costs of replacement parts.
“When commodities aren’t being sold, farmers don’t have cash,” says Vernon Schmidt, the executive vice president of the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association. Schmidt works with specialized-equipment manufacturers, not tractor and combine producers. And, he said, the tariffs are affecting the manufacturers he works with in much the same way.
Though there isn’t comprehensive data on how much higher farm-equipment costs are this season, both farmers and equipment dealers around the country told me that tariffs have been driving up prices significantly. That’s borne out by the Federal Reserve’s most recent “Beige Book,” an anecdotal survey of current national economic conditions in each of the Federal Reserve’s 12 districts. In the report, released earlier this month, farmers in the St. Louis district told their local Federal Reserve Bank that they’re seeing “low commodity prices and rising input costs strain farm incomes.” The Reserve also found that manufacturers are still concerned about “higher costs due to tariffs, and ongoing trade policy uncertainty.”
Though in many places the price of steel has steadied and even dropped, farmers are still seeing high prices on equipment that’s already been made. In anticipation of tariffs rising after the latest round of trade negotiations, in January, many manufacturers told the Reserve that they’re importing more materials now. That could mean prices will continue to be passed to consumers even if the trade war ends.
The Unexpected Side Effects of Trump’s Trade War
So this is a collection of major Trump lies- certainly not all of them- and I haven't bothered with the dozens of lies he makes daily and weekly- you know like claiming credit for Veterans choice even though that was past by John McCain.
Oh sorry- I thought for once you had a serious thread.
I didn't realize you just trolling as usual.
I see you don't want to actually discuss Trump's lies and just have your head firmly up his ass.
No real big surprise.

When you manage to post a lie that actually has a negative impact on our lives I'll chime in. Until then I'll just sit back and watch you list your emotional talking points.

It did not. Impeaching Clinton was stupid.
His conduct was ridiculous but not a crime. Lying about getting a blow job under oath was obviously a crime but it was a crime uncovered on a fishing expedition.

Who you vote for is your business. How you rationalize your decision is of no consequence to anyone else.

The US gives billions away to other nations and international entities.
The Left don’t really care about those “exaggeration lies”. What really pisses the left off are his truth bombs, exposing the hypocrisy and corruption of the Dems. President Trump tells it like it is, that’s why normal people love him, and the abnormals can’t stand him.
The Dems will do anything to stay in power in order to fill their pockets, like the Bidens. They can’t stand it when President Trump exposes that truth.
Everything I have posted has had more impact on the lives of Americans than claiming that Obamacare would save everyone money.
But you have your head so firmly up Trump's ass, you just excuse any of his lies.
Trump has the same relationship with Truth as Putin does.
Meanwhile the Trump family continues to line fill their pockets from the dividends of Trump being President.

We're a nation that gives also. Almost as much per head of population as the US (I'm from NZ but live in Aus, which gives $30 more per head of population) than the US)
