A Running Tally of the Outlandish and Unsubstantiated Claims made by the Trump Administration

From the top of my head:

Mexico will pay for the wall.
China is artificially keeping the CNY below market value.

 

It depends on how detailed you want to get. There were several other lies that went along with the inauguration lie. The Trump folks claimed they used magnetometers which is false. They claimed it was the first time that the grass coverings were used which is also false.

Then there are multiple lies to go along with the health care.
Trump claimed that his plan would expand coverage for people battling addiction and mental health.
Trump claimed nobody would be worse off with his health plan.

So one issue can have many lies that go along with it.

 

need some fact checking here! Many of these aren't finished, and some twisting of words...

libs gonna lib in their echo chamber

 

So do some fact checking then.

 

he said that everyone will be covered and at less cost.

the OMB may be releasing their analysis / summary of Trump/Ryan Care, insofar as the cost and coverage.

 

yep - many of your sources are the Washington Post. Lack of credibility. e.g., the inauguration included viewers on the internet/tv. the Mexico wall could still be funded by Mexico after initially paid for by us. Typical half-facts and incomplete reporting from biased sources

NEXT

 

Curious, which of these lies are not finished yet? And which are the result of word twisting? And the remaining ones are simply outright lies? Sure seems the list is well-documented and supported, so curious what "alternative facts" you will bring to Trump's defense?

 

Trump's claim was regarding those in attendance. He even attempted to show photographic proof. And Mexico's government has already clearly stated they will not pay for a wall, now or in the future. So unless you have something that shows how Trump will get this paid by mexico against their wishes (eg. Trump will deploy pickpockets at the border) its still a lie on Trump's part.

 

nope - half facts from you.

 

Go away Texx. They don't want you in this echo chamber.

 

There really isn't much to debate.

Political party leanings aside, Donald Trump is a compulsive liar and in a few months has managed to flat out lie more than most administrations did entire terms.

 

It doesn't matter. His constituents and supporters will still blindly support him and the GOP is putting ethics on a backseat due to the power struggle between parties. That's the sad part.

Above all else, there should be an agreement to hold certain things we hold American and ethical on a pedestal above all else, regardless of party. But right now the GOP has decided it's ok to make that tradeoff and his supporters have become angry/fear mongers in an economic climate they can't control. The supporters got played and they're not going to be better off from it.

A generation or two ago, even if there was a dispute between parties and beliefs, there were some things all citizens would agree upon as American or good for the people. Those times are no more.

Meanwhile, countries like S.Korea peacefully had their President impeached after 6 months of demonstration. China is putting things into action like mandatory LGBT sex education, renewable energies, and a national conservation larger than Yellowstone.

The US has always had one incredible selling point above other countries - the cultural and equality driven capital of the world. With this administration, they've completely let that go out the door while other countries prove their democracy and form of government works better.

Here's some of Obama's whoppers - quite a long list! These have at least been vetted by PolitiFact.

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong. The inauguration they said included in person. That was patently not true. The Washington Post is extremely credible.
