Post your favorite trump lie here:

[Gabi Hayes]

Trump says: "The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50 percent compared to this point last year."

In fact: This statistic apparently comes from an outdated, poorly worded USA Today headline. But according to the Officer Down Memorial Page, on-duty deaths of police officers are actually down 1 percent in 2016 compared to the same point in 2015. If this trend continues throughout the year, 2016 will be near a historic low for on-duty deaths. (This site tracks total deaths, not just killings, but there's no on-duty death tracker with 2016 data that solely tracks killings.)

It’s possible Trump is referring to the fact that on-duty deaths specifically from gunfire are up by 84 percent over the past year — which adds up to 31 on-duty deaths by gunfire so far this year.

1. you trying to break DU???

8. Indeed. The new lies are coming faster than you can link to the old ones! nt

[TreasonousBastard]

9. HA!

[True Dough]

2. This one!

"I am the least racist person that you’ve ever encountered."

Bahahahahahahahahaha!!! It's not really funny, it's pathetic.

3. He's a human.

4. I'm a builder

Mostly he just slaps his name on things from steaks to poorly constructed condos.

[muntrv]

5. "Safety will be restored on 1/20/2017."

[Mc Mike]

6. He's against illegal aliens who steal our jobs and are criminals,

but he employed 'illegal' aliens, while in partnership with the biggest mob criminals in the country, to build dRumpf Tower.

[meow2u3]

7. Lie: Hillary Clinton plans a massive tax increase

I wish she'd tax the shit out of billionaires!

Trump Lie: While Hillary Clinton plans a massive tax increase, I have proposed the largest tax reduction of any candidate who has declared for the presidential race this year – Democrat or Republican. Middle-income Americans will experience profound relief, and taxes will be simplified for everyone.

Fact: Moody’s Analytics report: Donald Trump’s tax plan would mostly benefit those at the very top of the income distribution, and job losses resulting from his economic policies would most affect lower- and middle-income households. [Moody’s Analytics report, 6/20/16]

[GummyBearz]

10. Can't believe I'm the first to go with "I'll make America great again"

That should be the easy winner!

[rhiannon55]

11. I know the system better than anyone

And I'm the only one who can fix it.

🙄🤑😳

[Gabi Hayes]

12. the biggest and bestest and most ironic lie of all, from his speech:

''But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else.''

somebody has to do something with that line, from the man who received the liar of the year award.

why would he have to preface his speech with such a caveat? think of the implication: is he accepting there the fact that he's such an inveterate, compulsive liar that he has to assure his audience that, this time, he's NOT GOING TO LIE? has anyone seen any analysis on this point? it's very telling when someone has to start out a 70+ minute harangue with the promise that there aren't going to be any lies.

the whole thing sounded like that ad one constantly sees for the copper cookware===>supposed to be the best thing ever, but when you read an actual review, you find that it's just overpriced, low grade crap. surprised?

[Gabi Hayes]

13. ''I don't know anything about David Duke''

can't copy/paste from the article...computer on last legs

[Gabi Hayes]

24. double duty for this one

maybe a lying racist thread?

[jdadd]

14. "I have a very good brain"

[Mc Mike]

22. I have the best memory.

I saw thousands of muh slims cheering in Jersy on 9/11. I saw BLM rallies call for a moment of silence for the cop killers. But I don't remember where or how I saw them.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. and he has the same sort of obnoxious defenders for this BS as he did when

Melania plage cat got out of the bag

that was by far the most furious break of lying, twisting, overbearing, ovary/balls-out mass mendacity I've seen, perhaps, in my whole life

did I mention shameless?

and will any of these transparent shills pay any price, be called out for their obvious lies?

ha

[Mc Mike]

28. It seems like normal people having to debate the liars about whether their lies are true or not

is itself another part of a fascist propaganda attack on America.

They're bald faced lies. We know they're lies. They know they're lies. They know we know they're lies. We know they know they're lies. Then they demand that we spend time arguing with them about their thesis that those lies are 'true'.

Only mass media allowing them to have 'fair, equal time', to defend their 'viewpoint', 'there's two sides to every story', allows them to get away with this nazi b.s. Any honest media would just say 'dRumpf is lying, again. End of story.'

[Gabi Hayes]

30. you make the perfect point, which the dems need to heed.....they MUST say, at the

outset, that they REJECT the false premise of the argument and refuse to discuss a topic until they get real. I've called into radio programs and done that, once with Anne Coulter, using citations from rude pundit, of all places, to demonstrate that her latest, heavily footnoted book, was filled with provably false citations, giving some examples.

the host let me talk, then reamed me for calling under false pretenses. I told him if I showed my true intentions, he'd have rejected the call. he admitted as much, but called me rude for doing so. too bad, milt Rosenberg, you senile crank. that was FUN!

[Mc Mike]

32. I'm glad to hear that you got the ideas through.

You were rude for pointing out her verifiable lying, huh? Poor Anne, poor Milt. Poor repugs.

It's great to be able to have fun while doing something good. Thanks for the story, Gabi.

[Gabi Hayes]

35. I have it on tape somewhere, I think. they were PISSED at my question, as I was the first caller

he only response was that I, as a typical liberal, had no sense of humor, and that her footnoted assertions weren't meant to be taken literally!

that they were merely hyperbole!

we had a little back and forth, more than I thought Milt would give me, then they hung up.

[Mc Mike]

47. It'd be worth listening to, if you were able to post it.

When those people get someone on their show who knows better, they can't cope. It's just a matter of time before they cut off the reality based person and talk at the hung up phone.

[Mc Mike]

48. I just came across Milt Rosenberg, while looking at some info on Koch birchers.

He was involved with Rick Santelli's 'spur of the moment' tea-party launch:

"Within hours of Santelli’s rant, a website called ChicagoTeaParty.com sprang to life. Essentially inactive until that day, it now featured a YouTube video of Santelli’s “tea party” rant and billed itself as the official home of the Chicago Tea Party. The domain was registered in August, 2008 by Zack Christenson, a dweeby Twitter Republican and producer for a popular Chicago rightwing radio host Milt Rosenberg—a familiar name to Obama campaign people. Last August, Rosenberg, who looks like Martin Short’s Irving Cohen character, caused an outcry when he interviewed Stanley Kurtz, the conservative writer who first “exposed” a personal link between Obama and former Weather Undergound leader Bill Ayers. As a result of Rosenberg’s radio interview, the Ayers story was given a major push through the Republican media echo chamber, culminating in Sarah Palin’s accusation that Obama was “palling around with terrorists.” That Rosenberg’s producer owns the “chicagoteaparty.com” site is already weird—but what’s even stranger is that he first bought the domain last August, right around the time of Rosenburg’s launch of the “Obama is a terrorist” campaign. It’s as if they held this “Chicago tea party” campaign in reserve, like a sleeper-site. Which is exactly what it was."

15. on his hands

"Look at those hands, are they small hands? And, [Republican rival Marco Rubio] referred to my hands: 'If they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee."

I am a working class billionaire.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. welcome to DU with that one. speaks volumes, doesn't it?

he has jumbo shrimp hands

sprinkle a little oxy onto your morons, Donald

john lennon should come back and revise his song to fit your post, ND

[Gabi Hayes]

18. OK....I heard this referenced the other day, but I guess it's not really a quote.

good satire is hard to suss out

you get the prize!

[ismnotwasm]

19. I went to a different source

61. November 9, on Putin. This one was hilarious. Trump: “I got to know him very well because we were both on 60 Minutes … We were stablemates, and we did very well that night.” The two men were interviewed separately in different countries thousands of miles apart.

http://www.dailywire.com/news/4834/trumps-101-lies-hank-berrien

[Gabi Hayes]

20. any source is great! and so is that reminder of the pathology of his off the cuff

assertions

he literally CANNOT help himself, and especially reveals himself whenever he gets going on one of his nonsequitur-laden rants

he is ''clinically INSANE''. even popular far right wing Chicago radio host Roe Conn used those exact words to describe him a month or two ago.

[Gabi Hayes]

21. "I am probably the least racist person on earth," to Bill OReilly

from a great article, which shows the four tells he displays when he's about to tell, or has just told, a yuge whopper

Uh, no.

[Motley13]

26. I know more than anyone in the whole f-ing world

"I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me. I would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. (Applause) I would just bomb those suckers. And, that's right, I'd blow up the pipe, I'd blow up the re -- I'd blow up every single inch. There would be nothing left. And do you know what? You will get Exxon to come in there in two months. They will rebuild that sucker brand new, it will be beautiful ... and then I would take the oil."

[stage left]

27. Liar, liar.

Hillary is weak.

No, she isn't. Eleven hours being grilled by that pointy headed weasal, Trey Gowdy, proved that. How I despise that twit.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. two things:

one: wouldn't you love to see trump grilled like that? it would be ecstasy to see him free associate into the sunset

two: you misspelled twit

[stage left]

34. I'd love to see Trey(pinhead) Gowdy

grilled like that as well. He's my very own district's very own Congressional twit( or however you want to spell it; with an a works, too ). More than that I'd like to see him lose his office. I'll probably be seeing what I can do to help his opponent, Chris Fedelai, get elected.

29. John Miller should do an article on this n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

36. here's a great place to jam in the face of your favorite trump supporter, who blathers on and on

about Hillary and her lies:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/06/17-things-donald-trump-said-and-then-denied-saying/

then you can ask him/her to CITE her lie, and prove that it was one. then ask for a comparison between any of these 17

my favorite among these, because of its relevance:

Nov. 11, 2015: Implying China was part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership

When asked about the pending trade deal with 12 Pacific Rim nations at a Republican primary debate in Milwaukee, Trump took to bashing China.

"The TPP is horrible deal," Trump said. "It's a deal that was designed for China to come in, as they always do, through the back door and totally take advantage of everyone." (For the record, Trump got a Pants on Fire for this claim.)

"You know, we might want to point out that China’s not part of this deal," quipped former rival Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. But a day later, Trump denied suggesting China was a signatory.

how ignorant must this guy BE????

DEMS, where the F are you on this one? anybody ever seen this gem discussed on TV?

[Gabi Hayes]

37. trumpkin even lied about that horrendous mocking of the reporter with the

ALS-like affliction, which many, many, many people have seen:

''Clinton made a false ad about me where I was imitating a reporter GROVELING after he changed his story. I would NEVER mock disabled. Shame!''

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/741988371174699009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

this is what they DO. lie in the most obvious and cynical manner, not caring at all that the proof of the lie is available at anyone's fingertips. just plant the meme, and wait for it to be repeated. that's what's happened to Hillary over the last 25 years, and it's exactly why people don't "trust" her.

did ANYbody on TV cover this most egregious lie? I never saw a word mentioned about it

[Rex]

38. The one where he said the FBI made up their numbers.

I am sure that made the FBI all warm and fuzzy over Dump!

[roamer65]

39. Question: How do you know Donny Trumpf is lying?

Answer: His lips are moving.

[HipChick]

40. Trump is Color Blind..

He does not see race or color..

[PatSeg]

41. Remember when Trump

sent his "investigators" to Hawaii to find out if Obama was born there?

"I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding." When Obama released his long form birth certificate, he changed the subject to Obama's college transcripts.

Maybe you should start a thread about the times that Trump told the truth!

[Gabi Hayes]

42. obvious answer, that would be about as long as the chapter in his autobio

regarding his service in the Vietnam era, if you left out the dangerous VD episode. I'd love to see his retelling of that harrowing tale

[PatSeg]

43. His own personal Vietnam

Compelling life story. I'm sure the vets he pretends to support would love to hear that tale.

[Gabi Hayes]

44. obviously, of course, you haven't seen that on TV, have you?

the only way it will if some dem brings it up, and forces them to acknowledge it.

why on earth haven't they?

the keep allowing vince foster's 'murder' to be discussed every so often.

that's the perfect example, along with the Melania plage lie-fest, of how they just make stuff up out of thin air, and the MSM dutifully reports the life out of it, to the extent that, I'm sure MILLIONS of idiot foxwatchers still believe she had him murdered.

[PatSeg]

45. Oh a positive note,

I actually have seen that on TV a couple of times. I believe he was being interviewed by Howard Stern. Can't remember which show I saw it on though. Would be great in a political ad.

[mnmoderatedem]

46. here's mine

"I was against the war in Iraq because I sais it would de stabilize the Middle East and I was right"

No evidence he ever said this prior to the war starting.

He's wanted to make Hillary's Iraq war vote and issue, but now no longer can since he selected Pence as his running mate.
