re: Is it TDS to acknowledge that President Trump sometimes makes things up?

Honestly, in this context, absolutely it’s TDS.

This question is ridiculous. What are you contending the man "made up"? This is gas lighting in its purest form.

Still awaiting an answer on this…

To save time though, does anyone think it really is a symptom of TDS to point out that President Trump sometimes just makes things up?

It isn’t. But in a meta sense, your post about it exhibits TDS symptoms.

I agree that it is not TDS to say POTUS Trump will embellish and say things untruthful from time to time. What I do know is he gets a tremendous amount of attention and that is fine with me.

He has a genius way of exposing the enemies within, don't ya think?

Trump’s troll game is off the charts for high level politics from the Conservative side. From his initial “they are rapists “ bomb to his troll du jour it’s just an essential aspect of his character.

The definitive issues remain. Either we deport Biden’s open Border importation of Democrat voters or we get “fundamental change “ to Socialism. Either Iranian Islamists are allowed the Right to have nuclear weapons or they aren’t. Either DEI trumps the Constitutional Republic Capitalist Meritocracy as our base, national ethos or it doesn’t. Either men transitioning to ‘women’ are allowed to compete against true women or they aren’t.

All of the tangential fluff like the OP’s strategic post/point, designed to either support or resist the above ’either- or’ scenarios, is just petty ‘gotcha’ political activism. For the “dupes and useful idiots” who bite. Many do. The basic issues remain.

What do you have in mind about something he’s “made up”?

Are you kidding?

-I will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it
-I will end the Ukraine war on my fiirst day
-Everybody jumped at the Greenland deal. They agreed to give us everything we wanted.
-The hospital ship is on its way to Greenland
-The Iran War will last 4 to 6 weeks
-We will charge 20% for passage through Hormuz
-The Iranians have agreed to everything
-The tariffs are legal under IEEPA
-The Ballroom will cost 200 million and not a penny will be paid by taxpayers
-I will fix the Reflecting Pool in one week and for 2 million dollars
-etc etc etc

This was my favorite though, just because it was so transparent a lie and meaningless. Truly you should take the two minutes to watch it. It's when President Trump made up the story about having an alleged conversation (President Trump’s favorite vehicle for making things up) with his late uncle about his uncle having taught the Unabomber. John Trump taught at MIT. The Unabomber went to Harvard. The Unabomber's identity wasn't known until several years after John Trump’s death. Did the President have a seance to discuss the issue?

I know the Unabomber was an insignificant lie, but the brazeness with which the President told it and the shameless way that Karoline Leavitt showed me the corrosiveness of not acknowledging that our best President makes things up...particularly conversations.

Yes. My problem is I come here for truth, not tribalism.

Okay Ivory…

A lot of your claimed “lies” are failed predictions or intentions.

The uncle/unabomber thing- yeah, that’s weird and would definitely qualify as an outright lie.

I have no idea what the hospital ship on the way to Greenland is about- I’ll have to look that one up.

ETA… I found “ The Claim: Trump asserted on social media that many people in Greenland were sick and "not being taken care of," announcing plans alongside Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to dispatch a hospital ship.”

Plans to dispatch a ship. Okay. So it didn’t end up happening and Greenland turned it down.
