Discussion: Trump Complains About Getting Fact-Checked, Lies Minutes Later

Seeing how bum-rushing the fact checkers is clearly a modern day GOP goto, Kessler needs to stop using ‘misleading’ and just flat out use ‘lie’ for ‘1600’.

Trump lies remind me of a scene from Star Trek

“We’ve signed more bills — and I’m talking about through the legislature — than any President ever,”

I think the official score’s still ZERO, isn’t it?

To them, bum rushing the fact checkers is awesome, plus seeing how Trumpists live in a different realm…

He has such a fluid reality. Howard Hughes, at the end, was more in touch with the outside world than Donnie & Co.

Just call him President Pinocchio and get it over with.

He knew he was about to tell some big lies and did the projection thing as a preamble.

The routine is practically etched in stone.

It’s one long tedious sales pitch.

Yep. I think we’ve heard the preface, “The fake news media will probably call me a liar, but…” to quite a few Trump lies, false statements, untruths, prevarications, and misleading utterances.

Goddamn him and his constant lies. The lies spill from his mouth with such ease. It’s remarkable.

In Trounce’s case the rating system had to be upped to maximum of 1,000 Pinocchios.

Should probably keep track of them like a baseball box score

Lies Total
Lies about environment
Lies about family
Lies about Russia
Lies about accomplishments

Stats by the day week and month
Maybe we could even figure out a way to score them x1 for a family lie x3 for an environment lie, x10 for damaging our country etc

President Donald Trump said Monday that he doesn’t like “Pinocchios,” referring to the Washington Post’s metric for pointing out politicians’ lies in fact-checking columns.

Wait, I thought he says he never reads the Washington Post (aka “fake new” in Fright-Wing™ speak).

As fast as Trump is fact checked, Trump chucks facts.

BTW, most of the bills Trump has signed are truly nothing. 28 of the bills aren’t very significant with things like naming buildings, siting the location of the Desert Storm/Desert Shield Memorial… real earth-shattering stuff.

Trump again referenced the mine opening a week later during a speech in Cincinnati.

Trump, June 7: Next week we’re opening a big coal mine. You know about that. One in Pennsylvania. It’s actually a new mine. That hadn’t happened in a long time, folks. But we’re putting the people and we’re putting the miners back to work.

Trump did not name the Pennsylvania mine, and the White House did not respond to us. But these kinds of events are rare enough that it is clear he is referring to the June 8 grand opening of the Corsa Coal Company’s Acosta Deep Mine more than 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
What did Trump’s presidency have to do with its opening? Nothing. Development of the Acosta mine began in September, two months before the presidential election.
