Trump says 'with me, there is no lying' after lying 15,000 times in office

By Emily Singer -January 23, 2020 10:44 AM

Trump has averaged roughly 15 false or misleading comments per day while he's been in office, according to the Washington Post.

Donald Trump on Wednesday sought to differentiate his impeachment with that of former President Bill Clinton, saying that Clinton was impeached for lying — something Trump claimed he doesn't do.

"There was a lot of lying going on. There were a lot of things — a lot of bad things," Trump said at a news conference from Davos, Switzerland, referencing Clinton. "Now, with me, there’s no lying. There’s no nothing. They have nothing."

Trump's claim that he doesn't lie is a lie in and of itself.

In fact, Trump has become infamous for his lies and falsehoods.

He even told lies at the same news conference in which he claimed he doesn't lie.

But he did say this.........................

"The president continued, “So, we’re doing very well. I got to watch [the impeachment trial] enough. I thought our team did a very good job. But honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material.”

Narcissistic Psychopaths believe what ever it takes to be the Center of any discussion.

Have to commend all the DUers whom take the time to research old stories about this Orange Anus and post them as to make the world aware of just who this Mental Midget is.

there was a part that recounted Trump going from firmly being pro-choice to being anti-abortion in the matter of a few minutes! It was absolutely mind-boggling.

running for prez. For a republican, he needed to be "pro-life" and so he convinced himself he was.

never paid that close attention because I just assumed he would be Anti just by his willingness to Prostitute Himself for the salvation of his image knowing full well he was just a modern day PT Barnum.

No sane person. Nobody proclaims they are honest.

I tell you, whatever is going on behind the scenes that the Trump Presidency is being used as a distraction for is going to be a doozey(epidemic perhaps?). At this point, there is no other rational explanation as to why he has been allowed to remain President when causing this much harm to the world order. I have friends who have said this from the get-go, and I have reluctantly come around to their viewpoint. The whole Trump Presidency is a contrived distraction from something.

I'm not a shrink so I don't know if he has a genuine "God complex" condition or if he's just a con man and third-rate TV actor who believes that's his most convincing charade.
