So all you guys want to do is squawk endlessly on "orange man bad" and are trying to corner with this notion that this current president lies more frequently than past presidents.
This fact has been WELL documented time and time again. He DOES lie more often. In fact, in his first term it was documented that he made over 30,000 false or misleading statements. And he's well on his way to exceeding that currently.
I should note... in several of his spiels he would repeat the same false/misleading claim multiple times.... but they were only documented as being one statement event though it may have been said 5 times.
If you want the year by year average:
Trump averaged about six claims a day in his first year as president, 16 claims day in his second year, 22 claims day in his third year — and 39 claims a day in his final year.
Trump made around 300 claims he got the largest tax cut in history passed. Again, another falsehood. The one he got passed was the eight largest.
And how could we forget his statements about how Mexico was going to pay for his "great wall of the US".
Now, since we are in bad economic times under his current administration, around 2500 of his claims in the first term were about hime being creating the greatest economy in US history, which was demonstrably false. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson and even Bill Clinton had better economies under their Presidencies. And guess what hurt Trumps economy in his first term.
If you said "trade wars"... you win a kewpie doll (made in China).
I could go on and on and on documenting the REPEATED false/misleading statements he was constantly spewing.

To give you some insight in what he lied about:
Roughly 25 percent exaggerated about his accomplishments, and 15 percent misled about his policies. Another 15 percent dissembled about the Russia investigation or the probe into the Ukraine phone call. Roughly 10 percent each were fibs made out of whole cloth, attacks on people he considered foes, falsehoods about the coronavirus, phony claims about the election, or false statements about Biden and his proposals.

Granted... ALL politicians lie. It is simply fact that Trump takes it to the extreme.

If you ever wonder how I view things, just think of George Carlin. There's like a 99% chance my thoughts align perfectly with his. I'm not even consciously mimicking him or anything, it just so happens that I feel a certain way about something, then watch George, and whaddayaknow, the man says it pretty much how I see it.

I'm not éénkennig. As far as I am aware there isn't a single word in English that captures the meaning of it. It means that I am open to different kinds of people and things, that I am not exclusive in who I get along with. I have friends from all quadrants of the political spectrum. The funny thing is that my leftie friends take me for a right winger. And my rightie friends take me for a left winger. George Carlin faced the same. I'm freaking none of those things, and neither was he, also not even a centrist.

I see all those positions as part of the same managed spectrum designed to keep people arguing while real power remains unaccountable. I've lost faith in the electoral system and mainstream narratives because I believe they serve elite interests, not the public. My view isn't about apathy, it's about recognizing the limits of the system and rejecting the illusion of choice.

And yes, I am blackpilled. Once you see through things, there is no turning back. We all get played. Most are not able or willing to see this, and it feels very lonely quite frankly.
