As some may have noticed - I have a personal distaste for lying and slandering people .

And, while I was initially interested in what Trump might bring to politics, as I FACT CHECKED, I realized he was a great showman and lied …..A LOT .

Here’s 15 of Trumps LIES but of course this list is now old - he’s lied a lot more since this list

Has anyone noticed that? It’s not the impression I have from my observation.

Fact checking by the fox who’s guarding the henhouse leaves some credibility to be desired.

And that list is typical CNN. I wonder if they’ll do a list of Biden’s lies, or Pelosi’s or Schiff’s - they could narrow it down a little by only doing the incessantly repeated lies.

Once again, mostly unresponsive. I recall one of your initial big, egregious Trump lies was that he said he wouldn’t have much time to play golf as president, but then he found he could get a lot of work done on the golf course. The way you make that into ANY kind of lie is by being intellectually dishonest.

Personal insults again and again from you.

FACT was: Trump did say “ Obama plays too much golf and as President I ( trump) wouldn’t have time for golf.
Then Trump actually played more golf days than Obama .

This is just a fact - you want to go with the excuse that he worked on the golf course that’s your right .

The FACT that he was an experienced executive and was able to play more golf than he had anticipated only makes the statement a lie in the mind of an intellectually dishonest person, or one blinded by extreme bias. It is laughably foolish.

Trump publicly insulted President Obama by saying “ Obama plays too much golf and if President I wouldn’t have time to play golf - I’d be too busy working for the American people”

1. Trumps a hypocrite because he played more time as President playing golf than Obama

2. I don’t buy trumps excuse that he worked on the golf course . Big excuse .
You think he was having meetings with others, signing papers, consulting with our experts on various subjects while trying to concentrate on his golf game ? Nonsensical excuse .

3. He owes Obama - and all Americans an apology

You should tell him that. Tell him that you know better than him how he should have spent his time while president. You know, that might be a good idea. Maybe he'll take it under advisement in 2024 when he's elected President again.

I’ve already written to President Trump expressing my feeling as an American in a civil and courteous manner.

Yup - Biden and his crew in many respects. Attempt to take guns away from "civilians" because they don't "need" them, vilify any disagreement (the enemy), lock them up without due process and for phony reasons, allow your surrogates (BLM, ANTIFA, etc.) free rein, the list goes on.

Kevin McCarthy - LIAR

“It would be my recommendation you should resign,” McCarthy told fellow GOP House leaders in a Jan. 10, 2021, call, explaining the advice he planned to give to the then-president as a second impeachment loomed. “That would be my take. I don’t think he would take it, but I don’t know.”
In addition to falsely calling the story wrong, McCarthy on Thursday trashed journalists, claiming “the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda.”
A spokesman for McCarthy did not respond to a request for comment from HuffPost on Friday.
The Times reporters on Friday released a separate recording of McCarthy telling a broader group of House Republicans, the week after the attack, that Trump had agreed with him that he bore “some responsibility” for what happened. That claim, which was reported at the time without the audio, doesn’t gel with Trump’s behavior then or now. In recent months, Trump has gone so far as to describe the riot as a justified protest against a stolen election.

And your point is?

Do you mean that President Trump isn't allowed to have an opinion about the riot?

Do you mean that you won't take the word of the man (McCarthy) that actually said something rather than the spin from a biased news source?
