I've literally never seen a politician of note in my entire adult life that never lied.

Why would it? Yeah. I'd prefer politicians didn't lie. But, they do.

And, the lies only bother me when and if they are relevant to something that matters. For example. I don't care at all if he lied about Stormy Daniels.

If by lying you mean he keeps his promises, no, it doesn't bother me.

Well, this outs you as being silly.

Trump's lies are not particularly prolific for a politician. You've just had some moron lefty itemize them for you so you can go "oh the horror".

He makes some WTF statements that are fun to talk about but again, it comes down to issues and nothing else with me

It would bother me if he lied about keeping my doctor.
It would also bother me about those jobs not coming back.
It would probably bother me if I learned it wasn't started by an internet movie.

I'm not clicking on a wapo link, but their "lie" list was laughable.

You talk about Trump lying and post a WAPO article?

Compared to the lies of the Democratic Party and the Mainstream Media? Nope. Not in the least bit. It is the way the game is played now.

The Democrat harem of media constantly harps on lies, so those highly susceptible to propaganda believe he's a prolific liar

All I care about is sound policy. The president doesn't have to be likable to me.

If you’re someone who takes everything trump says literally, then it’s not worth having a conversation with you.

I wish he wouldn't but every person in DC lies their arse off so it really isn't anything extraordinary.

It's weird with Trump though because he is one of the biggest bullshitters I've ever seen but simultaneously is the most authentic politician we've had in a very long time. Quite strange.

Agree.

Here. I'll even go specific.

First, the fricking headline outs the writer as a hack.

I'm 7 paragraphs in and have yet to see the writer give us an example. Which is important because one HIGHLY suspects that the headline number is derived by counting a lot of shite no one gives a rat's frick about.

LOL. The very first example they give is nothing more than their fricking OPINION of the characterization of jobs performance. Sheesh.

Why do I get the feeling that if this same writer was writing about Obama, he wouldn't count a single instance of Obama telling people if they like their doctor, they'll keep him or, the ACA will result in over $2000 savings in premiums for the average person?

Good God. This article is pathetic and the OP is pathetic for posting it.

frick. Is OP retarded? THIS shite is included in the number?
