How honest has Donald Trump been as candidate and President?

[OtterMan68]

I'm a Republican, and Trump is the most honest President/Candidate ever

I'm a Democrat, , and Trump is the most honest President/Candidate ever

I'm a Republican, and Trump is no more or less honest than any other President/Candidate. They all lie

I'm a Democrat, and Trump is the most dishonest President/Candidate ever

whatabout... whatabout... whatbout Biden?

[Chazmatazz269]

In some ways, extremely honest. In others, just as shady as any other candidate and politician. Nobody is just one thing. Sometimes we’re cruel. Sometimes we’re kind. Sometimes we’re honest. Sometimes we’re deceitful. The ugly thing about US politics isn’t that politicians are deceitful. It’s that citizens are willfully ignorant to the point that if they follow a candidate or official, they will passionately insist that THEIR candidate is nigh perfect and their faults and foibles are merely mistakes, after all they’re only human. Meanwhile, if they don’t support a candidate or official, everything THEY do is pure evil and ignorance. IF they actually do something good, it was a hangover from a previous administration. Partisan politics, combined with a deplorable education system has accomplished exactly what the powers that be have set out to do. Crippled the average person’s critical thinking skills so that the rich can maintain the status quo. Everyone, and i’m not being hyperbolic here, EVERYONE who identifies as “democrat” or “republican” is a complete f*cking moron here. If i had the gauntlet, i’d snap my fingers and watch with glee as they all disappeared.

[AHary]

I don't think so, Pal. You're just looking to make excuses for cynical people like yourself. Because you're either to stupid or lazy or afraid of the truth!

[Twalli]

There was a tracker on his lirs during his first campaign and it averaged out to 1 in every 12 words he spoke were lies. So maybe every other sentence or do. He lies a lot, everyone knows that. He didn't need to be politician for people to know that. Saying he's a liar isn't a political statement or opinion, it's a fact.

[sage2021]

Biden played it safe. He didn't make any campaign promises to break because he didn't campaign. He stayed in his basement.

Biden is playing both sides of the fence with being for Israel and Iran.

[purplepoppy]

If Donald was Pinnoccio his nose would be a hazard to passing satellites.

[Sirenboobzilla]

😆 🤣 😆 🤣 That's a good one

[Twalli]

XD so funny

[sudoers]

Like trump said USA should stop killing children outside USA. Americans are the biggest criminals ever existed

[exitseven]

Trump exaggerates a lot. He had the best economy in history, he had the most secure border, and other exaggerations were normal in his administration. He has also lied. But he tells some pretty big truths. He says a lot of things that are obviously true but since it does not align with the democrat narrative nobody else will say it.

He calls covid the China virus. It is obvious that the virus was created in China and maybe even released purposely. Biden had taken millions from the CCP so he has not said a peep about it.

[OtterMan68]

best economy in history by what metric?
Do you believe so many people went up to him in tears and begged him for his endorsement?

[RainbowMarinade]

@OtterMan68
Given recent reports about the scent he emits, maybe those stories he tells about teary eyed people aren’t as far-fetched as first suspected.
🤔😂🤣

[DryGermanGuy]

So, if Biden has taken all this bribes, the GOP will impeach him, right? Comer Pyle and Jim Jordan are on top of things, right?

[exitseven]

It was an exaggeration. The economy was good when he was president. Certainly better than it has been in decades but probably not the best in history.

[OtterMan68]

so you're backtracking. I could say Trump is the worst president in history, and when you call me on it, I just say "It was an exaggeration."
And any ecnomist not working for the GOP will tell you what the Trump adminstration did in 2020 helped wreck the economy in thefollowing year: printing record amount of money and increasing spending via covid relief.

[exitseven]

@OtterMan68. Okay- when I wrote he had the best economy in history I was giving examples of his exaggerations. Either I wrote it wrong or you did not get it. He probably did not have the best economy in history. With Trump aeveything is the biggest and the best. I guess if you are a cultural icon you have to be bigger than life.
It was his policies that I was interested. The rest is noise.

[AHary]

Trump did none of the things you claim. You're a sucker.

[Dargil]

I think Trump is fundamentally truthful on issues that matter. He does tend to exaggerate and hype things but not to deceive or disguise the truth.. Back in the day, I did construction work in Westchester County. We all knew that.

There is a different between lying and misstatements. one is premeditated and one is incidental. Trump "lies" less often than others.

FTR: I don't care what you think. The only way I won't vote for him is somebody's death.

[AHary]

Sucker. Trump hates democracy and the rule of law and the established laws under the Constitution.

[Dargil]

@AHary Your contention is beneath debate. Please keep thinking what you are thinking and don't forget to vote on November 6.

[JacobJordan]

I am neither I don't waste my time voting. Trump is about as honest as all presidents (not a whole lot) he does exaggerate and he makes blunt statements that resonate with a lot of people even if their was a more tactful way to say it. I don't think he is a good choice for president I don't think biden is either. I would say vivek is a solid choice or DeSantis both are intelligent. As of present date they are Americans first focused and they are able to articulate themselves well.

[dustybiker2]

I do not believe he has ever said anything honest and accurate in his life, aside from by coincidence and or mistake. The four year blip made zero difference.

[exitseven]

The covid virus came from China, the border was more secure when he was president, putin would not have invaded Ukraine if he was president, Biden is the worst president in history. All true.

[dustybiker2]

I disagree.

[OtterMan68]

@exitseven There is no way of knowing if Putin would not have invaded Ukraine in 2022 if Trump was president.

[exitseven]

Not for sure but I don't believe in coincidence

[OtterMan68]

@exitseven So I guess if Al Gore had won in 2000, there would have been no 9/11

[exitseven]

@OtterMan68. I don't know. But maybe Al Gore actually invented the internet

[OtterMan68]

@exitseven and Japan nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, India and Pakistan asked him to negotiate peace in Kashmir, he made the dean's list in college, politicians with tears in their eyes beg him for his endorsement, a woman told him she can't buy fly paper because it was banned to protect flies, a president of a foreign country called him and said "Sir, our trees are more explosive than the ones in California, but we don't have the problems [with forest fires] they have, the White House doctor said he was in better shape than Obama, Mexico will pay for the wall, he has a great health care plan he'll introduce any day now...

[exitseven]

He had a Healthcare plan that narrowly did not pass. It lost by one vote. I imagine he is in better shape than Obama. I know he was no instead for the Nobel Peace Prise nut don't know who nominated him. I think the explosive trees thing was made up by the media. However it is true Mexico did not pay for the wall. At 5 billion dollars it would have been a bargain if it just kept you half the illegal aliens that Biden let into the country.

[exitseven]

*out

[OtterMan68]

@exitseven are you talking about the John McCain vote? That was NOT to pass a health care plan.
Trump did say that about exploding trees, and he said Austria had exploding trees and forest cities. Austria said they had no idea what he was talking about.
It's not hard to be nominated for the Nobel Prize, but he said the Japanese gov nominated him.
So you agreed he lied about Mexico paying for the wall.
Trump lied about being asked to mediate in Kashmir
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-49079716

[exitseven]

I never hea3d if exploding trees. Sounds like a way for the media to distract the fact that itvis California's bad policy of never cutting back forests is what is causing wildfires and not so called global warming

[exitseven]

At least Trump has no relatives that have been eaten by cannibals.

[dustybiker2]

Not even attractive to cannibals.

[OtterMan68]

@exitseven do you believe Trump when he said Austria had exploding trees and forest cities and some world leader called him about his country's exploding trees?

[OtterMan68]

Trump said his father was born in Germany.
His father was born in the US.

[strateguy632]

trump has an advantage he wasn't a politician! wo obviously he is far more honest than politician!

but if you mean making promises he didn't try to keep that is democrats but trump tried to keep.

[OtterMan68]

like Mexico paying for the wall or Trump having a great health care plan he was going to introduce any day now

[AHary]

You're correct. He wasn't a politician, until he was a politician. People like you were so blind to the change in him.

[DrPepper12]

This is the only known picture of Trump telling the truth...

[katiesmuff]

He can't open his mouth without lies spewing out of it!

[AHary]

Trump has been lying since his silly Birth certificate accusations about Obama in 2011. He has told over 30,000 lies since 2015. He's a sleezebag and a rapist and a criminal. Vote Blue🌊🌊🌊🌊💙💙💙

[handsomelad70]

How can you tell if Trump's lying? When he's speaking !!!

[AHary]

@handsomelad70 His lips are moving.

[Anonymous]

He does tend to exaggerate a lot because he talks like a normal person on stage as opposed to speaking like he is reciting a script like pretty much any other politician does but come on. Expecting a politician to be honest is like expecting a stripper to actually care about you.

[OtterMan68]

so when he says something that never happened as if it were fact, he's exaggerating? Like when he lied about India and Pakistan asking him to mediate over Kashmir? That was just an exaggerated?

[Opinion Owner]

So the lie was that they asked him to mediate over Kashmir when he was the one who approached them? Honestly for a case like that, I'm not really all that sure what harm that lie would do.

It's not like the lies that Obama told everyone like the one where you get to keep your doctor if you use the Affordable Care Act or when he said that business owners didn't actually build their business.

[OtterMan68]

he said he was asked to mediate.
He was not asked.

[OtterMan68]

Mexico is going to pay for the wall.
He had a great health care plan he would introduce any day

[Opinion Owner]

Ok so I got it right. As I said, in the grand scheme of things, he brought peace to these countries so I don't really think it matter who came to who. The fact is that he created peace and that is all that matters to me.

> Mexico is going to pay for the wall.

I don't really think it was a lie, it was just a plan he had and it didn't go the way he wanted it to.

>He had a great health care plan he would introduce any day

If his plan was to destroy big pharma then I would have been pissed too but I am glad that didn't come to fruition because the US doesn't need another state funded healthcare program. Again, that sounds like a plan that didn't get initiated.

[OtterMan68]

Pakistan and India are NOT at peace

[Opinion Owner]

You're right. Trump at least tried but I forgot India did not agree to it. Trump did do the Abraham Accords which was what I was thinking of and it was not those countries.

Still, I don't think that lie was as impactful as any of the examples I mentioned so far. Is that all you got?

[OtterMan68]

but why lie? Why lie about Austria having "forest cities" and "exploding trees"

[Opinion Owner]

I don't know why he said forest cities but he was exaggerating about the exploding trees. He was talking about how quickly they would catch fire.

[Opinion Owner]

They just seem like gaffes to me Austria and Australia sound similar enough to chock it up as that. It is another thing when Biden said Libya and Syria because the two sound far less like each other in comparison.

[genericname85]

you can say about trump what you like. but at least he has no trouble walking the stairs xD

[AHary]

Can't support a rapist and a criminal just. because Biden stumbles and studders occasionally. Biden has been the best president of the last 75 years.

[genericname85]

@AHary Biden isn't any less criminal.

[legalboxers]

[AHary]

Jesus said, "repent your sins... and sin no more." Evangelicals don't practice that part of the way shower's teachings.

[msc545]

Trump cannot tell the truth about anything really, nor can his cult members apparently.

[exitseven]

Biden is the worst president we ever had. That is a fact

[goaded]

@exitseven Nice example.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Where is the option for "I'm a Liberitarian Trump was half decent and Biden was a pig turd."

[OtterMan68]

this is about honesty, not policy.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Honesty is my policy lol

[Filthy_Immigrant]

a lot more honest than Biden has been in his whole presidency

[AngryCarl]

Ah, you are making a joke!

[WhiteBoyChill]

Extremely. I’m quite satisfied

[LaurenM1997]

Donald duck

[FunkyMonkee]

49% are idiots!!
