(70,242 posts)the posts on there are hysterical, it shows clearly just stupid these people voting for him are. That guy is doing a lot of work going through and getting the pro-Trump tweets before the election and then he will post something where they tweet something like "now Trump you can't take away my Obamacare, I have a pre-existing condition and without it I can't get coverage. I voted for you, please don't do this." Literally...it is hard to believe how stupid people are.

(83 posts)Up Is Down: Trumps Unreality Show Echoes His Business Past
By DAVID BARSTOW JAN. 28, 2017
<snip>
As a businessman, Donald J. Trump was a serial fabulist whose biggest-best boasts about everything he touched routinely crumbled under the slightest scrutiny. As a candidate, Mr. Trump was a magical realist who made fantastical claims punctuated by his favorite verbal tic: Believe me.
Weve never seen anything this bizarre in our lifetimes, where up is down and down is up and everything is in question and nothing is real, said Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity and the author of 935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of Americas Moral Integrity, a book about presidential deception.
<snip>
All week long, news organizations chased down one Trump tall tale after another. PolitiFact, a website devoted to checking the veracity of claims by public officials, published 12 of the most misleading claims Mr. Trump made during his first White House interview. The Chicago Tribune found that Mr. Trump was incorrect when he claimed two people were shot and killed in Chicago the very hour President Barack Obama was there delivering his farewell address. (There were no shootings, police records showed.) The Philadelphia Inquirer found that Mr. Trump was incorrect when he said the citys murder rate was terribly increasing. (The murder rate has steadily declined over the last decade.) The indefatigable fact checkers at The Washington Post cataloged 24 false or misleading statements made by the president during his first seven days in office.

Doris Kearns Goodwin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian who has written about Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson, said in an interview that Mr. Trumps brazen willingness to deny objective reality had, if nothing else, succeeded in diverting public attention from matters of more lasting consequence, like his flurry of executive orders. I dont know that he is doing it strategically, she said, but it certainly had the impact of a magicians sleight of hand.
