Obviously that includes EO's. Right?

Let's put it another way. Fake News claims he said "bills", NOT "legislation". Why, in your considered opinion, do you think Fake News is making that Fake claim.

Politifact with direct quotes

WAPO

There are many more sources
Yet not a single one quotes Trump saying what they claim. Not one. Not a single one shows the OP claim to have been truthful. Not one.

Trump makes up a lot of shite. It’s the dumbing down if America. Empty words, hyperbole, half truths.

So does the media.

Again, here is the point of reference:
Trump signed 74 EO's, 170 Presidential memoranda, determinations, and proclamations, 1 Administrative order, and 1 Presidential sequestration order in addition to Congressional legislation.

How does that compare to his predecessors?

Yes. It was. He was wrong about policy, and the implications of a complicated healthcare bill.

Trump made up that he’s signed more legislation than anyone ever.

Can you see why I’m more concerned about one of those people being President than the other?




Did you just try to say that the health care bill that took over a sixth of the U.S. Economy-- a highly controversial bill that was very unpopular-- was less of an impactful
lie than Trump exxagerating about how many bills he signed? Not only that what Obama said was a very direct and factual untruth as part of a massive PR campaign--one that was repeated for many weeks dozens of times--that was implicit in its efforts to win people over to the bill that again took over ONESIXTH of the US total
Economy. Are you sure that's your final answer?

I hold the POTUS to a higher standard than I hold channel 867 or whatever station you get the news from. I take 100% of what I hear with skepticism. That’s probably something smart for all Americans to do.

No, he's right it wasn't a lie, but what he meant to say was "you can keep your doctor IF you can afford it." Just democrats benefiting the rich like they always do.

I remember a time when people like yourself screamed bloody murder over the EOs Obama signed.

How the worm turns now that it's your guy doing it.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?!

See how it feels about something meaningless?
Now imagine it's regarding the murder of a US Ambassador and the lie is blaming a planned terrorist attack on a 'right-wing Christian video'.

Because you would tell the public mission sensitive data.

"is true that Trump had signed more bills in his first 100 days than any president since Truman, but as Trump nears the anniversary of his Jan. 20 inauguration, he is far removed from his 100th day. And he has now signed the fewest number of bills into law of any first-year president dating back to Dwight Eisenhower, according to a recent report from the website GovTrack."

So Trump has signed more and that's what he's trying to use to make it look like he's accomplished a lot but the reality is he is signed less bills that into law than any in a long time. The disingenuous one here is definitely Trump and not the media

Go and read all of the dishonest Trump quotes. If you can still pretend like I'm dodging instead of pointing out the biggest liar then you're full of shite yourself

This board likes Trump’s lies, but not Obama’s lies I guess.

I find defending someone’s lies to be an odd thing to do...
