Do you believe Trump tells the truth?

Sometimes

all politicians lie

ETA: Here's one "lie" from the failing NYT

quote:

---

FEB. 24 “By the way, you folks are in here — this place is packed, there are lines that go back six blocks.” (There was no evidence of long lines.)

The internet doesn't contain enough Ron Swanson gifs to fully convey how little I give a shite about such "lies"

yes, of course

Yes.

I believe the message he wants us to get is the truth. Whether he embellishes his words so that they don't quite pass muster in terms of taking a polygraph test doesn't matter. He's a story teller and is relaying a message to the people in terms that we understand. People are so concerned with fact-checking every word he says that they miss the forest for the trees.

Trump isn't careful with words.

So in the worst case scenario he just makes shite up.

But on the flip side he says what he thinks and doesn't give carefully scripted legalese answers that while technically "true" they could not be called "the truth." Example "It depends on what your definition of 'is' is."

So you take the good with the bad, I guess.

I believe that he does what I want him to do, - which is to protect my Constitutional rights . His shortcomings are well documented. I have decided on that basis that I do not want to enter into a romantic relationship with him.
