Has Donald Trump ever knowingly lied to the American people when he was President or as a candidate?

[OtterMan68]

No. He never lies.

Maybe. I don't know

A few times

He's told more lies than any president/candidate in history

[MrOracle]

I'm positive that he has - because literally every single person who has ever even RAN for President, much less held the office - has done so. That applies to both sides of the isle, by the way.

What no one ever wants to talk about in the media is his RECORD in office. Why? Because he did a ton of good, and very little bad (no one is perfect). He got SIX peace treaties signed - including several that were considered impossible. He started no new wars, invaded no countries, and actively wound down Afghanistan, which he inherited. He worked (against a very hostile Congress) to secure the border and stem the tidal wave of illegal immigrants and abuse of the asylum system.

The economy was the best it had been in 40 years, and it didn't just benefit people at the top, but all the way down to the bottom of the scale.

Trump is absolutely NOT perfect. I don't agree with every policy or position. And his manners and etiquette certainly could be better. But what he was actually accomplishing - and trying to accomplish despite incredible opposition - was good for the country and its citizens.

The real reason the mainstream is so against him is because he couldn't be bought or controlled, and that mattered because Trump was trying to end US involvement in the endless wars. The elites were absolutely opposed to that, because wars are what give those elites their money and power. Presidents are supposed to be bought, and they're supposed to do what they're told (i. e., keep the wars going). Who cares if wars come at an incredibly high cost for taxpayers and citizens?

Trump cared. No president in 40 years or more has cared. But that made him unacceptable.

Several news channels have stopped to broadcast his ramblings, errr, speeches because they were so full of lies that the moderators had to stop every few seconds to correct it. That must be a record. 🤦‍♂️

I'd think yes and I'd think most presidents not only do but have to. I suspect most CEO's do. In what world can a person stand up and be asked any question from past to future and you have to field it on the spot?

realize, some people can say stuff they believe, but it's not true.

but also realize, these people have so many discussions, so many issues going on... can you imagine what a President knows, what they hear all day... their schedule. Wouldn't we all like to hear: "correct... there are alien bodies in our popsession and their reinengineered space craft. NExt question please..".

We should all cut them some slack. Add to it the press is vicious, true for most presidents. Biden is getting a "buy". I cut him slack at times as well.

[abc3643]

He has told lies all his life.

ALL

HIS

LIFE

It's in the legal record too!

[exitseven]

All politicians lie. I think in Trumps case they were mostly exaggerations. Everything he did was the best. Thet a=was not true in some cases. Maybe he really believed it. I think that he was pretty transparent about the important stuff.

[jshm2]

Of course!

Demetri J Trumposvki in his own head only pretends to be Donald J Trump. He wishes he was in mother Russia... as does his wife.

[worldscolide]

The left will tell you it's constant, the right will tell you never.. The truth is somewhere in the middle, and both sides are too stupid to see it.

[Anonymous]

Of course he has. But so has every other president ever. Except maybe Biden. That guy has absolutely no clue what he's saying or even where he is half the time.

[Snakeyes7]

I am sure he has but to be fair, what president hasn't?

[Anonymous]

Probably, most presidents has. He is still better than Joe Biden the hair sniffer who creep on kids!

[turnpost]

Well he lied about Covid 19. So...

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Most people lie anyway almost everyday.

[Anonymous]

Yes, all politicians lie.

[jahaims]

Duh.
