Can Trump ever stop lying?

[OtterMan68]

Just recently, it was the lie about the helicopter ride with Willie Brown. Then the lie about inflation being the worst ever. Now Trump said people are leaving Minnesota and Minneapolis burned down and has not been built back. Both blatant lies. But his supporters will never, ever admit Trump is a liar.

And spare me the "all politicians lie," line. It's like me pointing out Louisiana has a high gun crime rate, and you dismissing it by saying "all states have gun crime."

No, he knows MAGA will believe whatever he says without question, and ignore any proof to the contrary

No, he knows MAGA knows he lies. They just don't care about honest and ethical behavior.

Yes, one day he'll realize honesty is the best policy

I'd love to know the honest answer but you can't get one from the followers either. I can't tell if they have somehow convinced themselves that obvious lies are not lies or if they just don't care because there are tons of posts from them every time they manage to find one lie from a Democrat. There should be dozens a day from them about Trump's chronic lies if they were being consistent but it seems if they do end up on a topic where Trump is absolutely indefensible, they just avoid the question and bring up something Democrats said or did to try and distract you. It seems like they are all programmed not to say one single bad word about him or disagree with a single thing he has ever said or done in his life.

By your measure, nope. And I've said that "a million times". (Get it?)

The key for Trump cultists like me is to understand Trump: He is taken seriously and not literally. He may approximate facts but they are not ideologically false.

Brace yourself. In the debates T/V will kill Word Salad Kami and Sergeant Tampon and in the election. TDS will help them win because more Democrats like RFK have had enough of the hateful nonsense. Yep. I'm voting for the womanizing felon.

No amount of Leftist propaganda will turn MAGA's. But blacks and Hispanics are turning because they see what the USA and foreign governments did to them for decades.

Blocking me yet, you Free Speech advocate?

[OtterMan68]

so when he says he was in a helicopter with Willie Brown and Brown said "he told me horrible things about Kamala Harris," and the helicopter had engine trouble, it's not to be taken seriously?
When he said Kamala Harris met with Vladimir Putin 3 days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he's not to be taken seriously?
How do we know when he's telling the truth then?

[Dargil]

I don't care. He's going to win or the country descends into the hellhole stage. I go by his record as president and how i and my family benefit from his policies. Nothing else matters. Your morons have nothing to run on or for. Just communist puppets and useful idiots.

[Dargil]

None of that matters. Only his excellent record as President and his objectives for Trump 47. He may have fallen short on some things but he did or attempted to do what he promised. Parsing words and phrases SK not discredit how he benefitted and will benefit voters. Now will Democrats START telling the truth? Not in my lifetime.

Trump was indeed in a helicopter with a black politician from San Francisco. He thought it was Willie Brown but he was mistaken. This was in the 1990s before he got into politics. Inflation is the worst in 44 years. He exaggerates.

The police station that was burned down during Walz's inaction is still a vacant lot.

[OtterMan68]

Which politician was it? He also said Brown "told me horrible things about Kamala Harris."
Trump did NOT say "a police station" was burned down and not rebuilt. Then there's the lie that people are leaving MN.
by the way, did Trump ever come out and say "i was wrong. It was not Willie Brown"?

[exitseven]

@OtterMan68 do you know for a fact that people are not leaving Minnesota? I live in a real moonbat state and th fact is that in 2023 over 110,000 people fled the state for more citizen friendly places. This year so far look like it will be even more. I did read the guy's name but forget it. He was a city counselor.
Yes, Trump exaggerates about everything. The last time we spoke I told him it was his worst trait. I suppose people that are bigger than life tend to do that.

[OtterMan68]

I can only go by the data I can find, and MN has a growing population from all I can tell.

[exitseven]

@OtterMan68 okay, . Maybe it is not as bad as where I live.

Based on things my father has told me and then immediately had to take back when I showed him it was just wrong, I think the main issue is the media enabling Trump to lie on such big platforms with no pushback. At this point it seems like he's just a compulsive liar and can't even help it, but the media and the "professionals" backing him up should know better and be held to a higher standard.

Trump: 'It doesn't matter what you say, Stephanie. Say it enough, and people will believe you.'

[True_Wind]

Repeat a lie until it is believed. It's the political way:

[MisterWack]

“ Minneapolis is burned down, they never built it back.”
- Trump

DAMN, I didn’t know where was a fire and all of Minneapolis is gone…. Oof.

[legalboxers]

Hell no. His accordion hands knows he's lying

[Twalli]

Trump can't stop lying, but his supporters don't care.

[gatixek710]

From the guy who supports Biden you might want to sit this one out.

[goaded]

There are dozens of Republicans who have worked for Trump telling you what he's like and that he'd be a disaster for the country. Believe them, not Trump.

[gatixek710]

@goaded yeah and there are dozens of republicans who send my tax dollars to Ukraine. Their opinion is irrelevant

[goaded]

No, their opinion is not "irrelevant", unless you're a fascist. They're elected representatives. If you don't like them, try to vote them out.

[gatixek710]

@goaded that’s the plan. And they are irrelevant

[OtterMan68]

answer the question

[ManInChains]

Can Harris?

[OtterMan68]

and there it is: Deflection.

[ManInChains]

Not deflection. Truth. Why can’t you admit when your chosen candidate is lying?

[OtterMan68]

can you answer the question?

[ManInChains]

Can you?

[OtterMan68]

Yes, he can't. You're turn
