What's your favorite Donald Trump lie?

[red dog 1]

Writing in Salon Magazine, Amanda Marcotte said:
"It's an established fact: President Donald Trump is a shameless, relentless liar.
He rarely makes it through a public appearance without uttering deliberate, outrageous falsehoods.
Lies defined his campaign, creating a cottage industry of journalists listing and even cataloging his lies.
Now that he's in office, the relentless lying has continued and may have even increased, creating a real crisis for publications that want to keep track of them all, since the sheer volume of his lies tests the capabilities of even the most well-funded news organizations."

From "Trump's Lies vs. Your Brain" by Maria Konnikova writes:
"All presidents lie...But Donald trump is in a different category...The sheer frequency, spontaneity and seeming irrelevance of his lies have no precedence."

My favorite Donald trump lie was one that I didn't see in any newspaper or magazine.
It was a lie about something totally unimportant.
It had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton or Obamacare or Mexicans or Muslims, it was a lie he told about his sniveling.
Remember during his 1st debate with HRC where he was constantly sniveling, as if he had a runny nose or a cold?
When asked about it he said that he wasn't "sniveling"...it was the microphone ...The mic was bad...But 2 weeks later at the 2nd presidential debate, he still was sniveling!
Was that due to a bad "mic" too?
Who would lie about something so inconsequential as a runny nose?
Donald Trump - that's who!

What's your favorite Donald Trump lie?

[JHan]

1. That his favorite book is the bible ... cool story bro.

[Chasstev365]

2. He loves Black people

That's why his closest advisor, Steve Bannon, is a bona fide White Nationalist.

[red dog 1]

8. He loves black people

but he doesn't want to rent them an apartment - like his racist father, Fred Trump

[JDC]

3. There's no problem down there, believe me...

[red dog 1]

9. That's not what Katie Johnson said

http://www.justiceforkatie.com

[True Dough]

4. This one...

He proves it's false every time he opens his mouth:

[Timer]

5. "Nobody respects women more than I do."

He has said exactly this, or some variant of it, 20+ times according to the Washington Post.

[red dog 1]

10. Good one!

Welcome to DU!

[Grassy Knoll]

6. This..

[red dog 1]

11. The results are in on Trump's approval ratings too

He's the most unpopular POTUS in history!

[Carter Johnson girl]

15. Yay!

Wow, that didn't take long, Don-Don.

I'm betting he'll officially be out of the White House before Eric's son comes along. This buffoonery can't last much longer.

[red dog 1]

19. I sure hope you're right about that

Welcome to DU!

[JHan]

32. oh that was a good one lol

[bluedigger]

7. The lie about his bone spurs to get a deferment from Vietnam.

You always remember your first time, they say, even if you can't remember which foot.

[red dog 1]

12. Yeah, he's a true "chicken hawk"

[VOX]

13. "We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College."

1) The people rejected him by 3 million votes, but boy, those guys in the Electoral College sure know their stuff!
2) His "landslide" historically ranks 46th out of 58 elections; so, like everything else with 45, it's not so big.
3) It was 45's first major whopper as prez-elect, and he still repeats it on an ad hoc basis. No candidate has ever been so desperate, foolish, or needy to feel compelled to make such a weird and meaningless claim.

[red dog 1]

20. Yeah, "massive landslide victory" my ass

He won Michigan, Wisconsin & Pennsylvania by a total of fewer than 100,000 votes for all 3 states. (Also, the "fix" was in for all 3 states)

[Carter Johnson girl]

14. Hmm...

That there were 3 million illegal votes...

...but there's so many to pick from!

[retrowire]

16. Probably the crowd sizes of the inauguration

It's just funny to lie about something that had photographic evidence to the contrary.

[red dog 1]

21. That one was a whopper!

I'm sure he still believes it too.

[Worktodo]

31. Crowd size still my favorite

Talk about swinging for the fences! He went for it right out of the gate. In a way I admire the chutzpah of it, and that he totally sold Spicer down the river on Day One. It was a classic: "Do you believe me or your lyin' eyes?"

[mainstreetonce]

17. God sent the sunshine when I made my speech

God forgot to tell all the people with umbrellas and ponchos.

[red dog 1]

[GMBshootingclubM60]

18. 'need a strong military... so we never have to use it'

I remember 'duck and cover' in the 1960s.. 'if you see a very bright light, don't look at it', etc.

With less than 80 days on the job, he's trying to start WW3????

[red dog 1]

25. "Need a strong military...so we never have to use it"

What a bunch of bullshit!

The truth is, he wants to spend billions more for "a strong military" because that's what the Military Industrial Complex wants....and THEY are the real "puppet-masters" behind Trump.

Welcome to DU!

[fleur-de-lisa]

22. That he is the President of the United States.

That one gets me every time.

[red dog 1]

24. That one gets me too..every single day!

[rock]

26. "Believe me"

A very common expression he likes to use. Snopes has him at 74% lying.

[vlyons]

27. I see 2 categories of lies

An initial lie told to us for the 1st time, and then the continued lies and denials after his initial lie has been debunked.

In the initial lie category - his inaugural crowd size.
Continued lie - that Obama wiretapped him in Trump Tower.

[Jonny Appleseed]

28. No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet. No, you're the puppet.

[Pachamama]

29. That he saw the WTC Towers hit and lost a lot of friends

I knew he was lying when he suggested he had friends....

Oh...and all the donations he made to 911 victims...

[Dulcinea]

30. "I made them this promise...we will put our miners back to work."

Not gonna happen. It's sad for all those desperate people who believed him, but not so sad for the rest of us who are now stuck.

"But industry experts say coal mining jobs will continue to be lost, not because of blocked access to coal, but because power plant owners are turning to natural gas. At least six plants that relied on coal have closed or announced they will close since Trump’s victory in November, including the main plant at the Navajo Generating Station in Arizona, the largest in the West. Another 40 are projected to close during the president’s four-year term."

33. "What's your favorite Donald Trump lie?"

To be honest red dog 1, he's doing such damage to this country and to our world, I stopped laughing at that asshole a long time ago. I'm thoroughly disgusted by him and his deplorable cabinet, and the fact that he has a crazy man just like him on the Supreme Court who'll be making judgments that will negatively affect people's lives, and in some cases I bet dealing with death should he get even some of his Don't Care bill implemented in some way.

was not meant to be funny in any way.

I posted this question in the DU Lounge because I thought that this was the most appropriate forum for such a question.

I could have worded the question differently,
for example:
- "What do you think is the most blatant lie Donald Trump ever told?"
or
- "In your opinion, what's the worst lie Trump ever told?"

Like many others here, I wake up every day wishing that the 2016 election was just a nightmare or a bad dream.

There has never before been such a truly evil man occupying the White House...Never!

Not Nixon, not Reagan, not George W. Bush....They were all "saints" compared to that pathological liar who now occupies the White House.

Never before in my lifetime has the United States of America had absolutely NO "checks & balances"..
ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT ARE NOW FIRMLY IN THE HANDS OF TRULY EVIL REPUBLICANS...and we may be headed toward World War 3.

The way I try to stay sane is by re-posting articles & stories about The Orange Antichrist on social websites that I belong to (not Facebook)..and also by remembering that we are all Democrats here....We all despise that evil, lying, narcissistic jackass!...We all are afraid of what that orange POS might do next!

But we can't let him & his GOP minions in Congress cause us to lose faith.

We have to try to stay hopeful!

We have to try to stay positive!

We have to support people like Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken and other Democrats in Congress such as Reps. Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters John Lewis and anyone else who has the courage to stand up to these evil monsters like Eddie Munster, The Turtle, and even Trump himself.

"What is your favorite Donald Trump lie?" is just one way of not being devoured by the evil of what has just happened to this once-great country.

As Friedrich Nietzsche said:
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."

34. When he took the oath of office

Asked if he swore to uphold and protect the constitution, and said "I do."

Biggest whopper of them all.
