Inform yourself. >> Trump said so many things, so many outright lies. > Name one Trying to pick the most notable lies from Donald Trump's presidency is like trying to pick the most notable pieces of junk from the town dump. Trump began his presidency by lying about the weather. It rained during Trump's inaugural address. Then, at a celebratory ball later that day, Trump told the crowd that the rain just never came until he finished talking and went inside, at which point it poured. That was, I believe the first lie of Donald Trump's presidency. It's a pointless lie and I don't know why he told it. The most dangerous lie: The coronavirus was under control. This was more like a family of lies than a single lie. But each one - the lie that the virus was equivalent to the flu; the lie that the situation was totally under control; the lie that the virus was disappearing suggested to Americans that they didn't have to change much about their usual behavior. The most boring serial lie: The trade deficit with China used to be $500 billion. The most traditional big lie: Trump didn't know about the payment to Stormy Daniels. The biggest lie by omission: Trump ended family separation. The lie he fled: He got Veterans Choice. He claimed over and over more than 160 times before I lost count that he is the one who got the Veterans Choice program passed after other presidents tried and failed for years. The Crazy Uncle lie award: Windmill noise causes cancer. It was a problem for the country that the President was not only a conspiracy theorist himself but immersed in conspiracy culture, regularly stumbling upon ludicrous claims and then sharing them as fact. The most hucksterish lie: That plan was coming in two weeks. Trump's big health care plan was eternally coming in two weeks. So were a bunch of other plans and announcements. Trump is, at his core, a huckster. Every moment of his presidency was a chance for him to sell someone on something, whether or not that something actually existed. And if they asked when they could actually see the magic elixir he said was being brewed just over there behind the curtain, he would just have to delay them until they forgot about it. The most depressing lie (the big lie): Trump won the election Trump's long White House campaign against verifiable reality has culminated with his lie that he is the true winner of the 2020 presidential election he clearly, certifiably and fairly lost. To many of us, it's ludicrous nonsense. But to millions of deluded Americans, it's the truth. And it has now gotten people killed. The nation's truth problem, clearly, isn't just a Trump problem. With this last blizzard of deception and the Capitol insurrection it fomented, Trump has shown us, once more, just how detached from reality much of his political base has become - or always was. Those are some of Donald's greatest hits, but there are more. So many more. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-7 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) .
