    This time the Liar-in-Chief told a bizarre whopper about being asked to mediate the conflict over Kashmir.

    Trump said India asked him to help mediate the Kashmir conflict with Pakistan. India quickly said that's not true.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/india-denies-trump-claim-modi-asked-for-help-kashmir-conflict-2019-7

    I don't know why he would tell such a lie. Or for that matter why he tells any of the thousands of lies he has told while prez. The easiest way to explain it is he is a pathological liar and it's what pathological liars do...........they lie about everything all the time.......about everything.

    So why mention it?

    Because it is important to remember this isn't normal. It's what Trump does. It isn't what prior prez's have done. We all have to appreciate what an aberration/mistake/lapse of judgement he is. Trump is the biggest national electoral error we have ever made. Most people in the US and around the world know it.

    "We have seen @POTUS's remarks to the press that he is ready to mediate, if requested by India & Pakistan, on Kashmir issue. No such request has been made by PM @narendramodi to US President," Kumar said."

    Maybe he just needed to feel self-important after the abject failures with trade deals of all kinds, with Iran, with N. Korea, with progress on our nation's problems, and with China.

    Trump's lies, exaggerations, distortion of the truth, rhetoric don't bother me...."goes in one ear and out the other", HOWEVER, when they are echoed by his loyalists, WATCH OUT!

    That means his inveterate lying has become normalized for you. IMO, that's very dangerous. When did it become quaint to expect the POTUS to tell the truth the vast majority of the time?

    Lee, maybe you could just set everything straight every time you felt President Trump lies. Oh, I forgot you do now.

    Modi probably did ask for help, but denied it after his people found out that he's taking to a foreign leader.

    Why would Trump lie about this? None of his supporters care if he helps India or Pakistan.

    Trump is telling the truth here.

    Why would Trump lie about that?

    He lies about EVERYTHING. There is no real "truth" to him. Just what he says in the moment

    Partisan politics is a game of deception, and both parties go from bad to worse when their candidates become POTUS.

    LOL! Why indeed. I do not know why Trump haters keep telling lies and say they are "pointing something out".

    But then they beat the Russian Collusion dead horse into the ground.

    How's impeachment going?

    OMG. No wonder his support doesn't drop below 40%. Even when he tells a bald faced lie (thousands actually) the minions rationalize it.

    Of course, some people are so incredibly stupid they think that governments openly discuss every aspect of diplomatic affairs, and never deny negotiations in progress....
    I would imagine they find such gullibility quite amusing, as the ignorant but arrogant jump to conclusions and make fools of themselves... by trying to look wise.

    "Kumar added, "It has been India's consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally. Any engagement with Pakistan would require an end to cross border terrorism. The Shimla Agreement & the Lahore Declaration provide the basis to resolve all issues between India & Pakistan bilaterally."

    The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from INSIDER."

    I couldn't help noticing the seething anger you exhibit in your defense of the pathological liar known as Don lead you to try to avoid the wrath of the moderators by writing "some people are so incredibly stupid" (not to mention ignorant and arrogant) when you clearly directed that insult at me. Tisk, tisk.
    I am just a lowly messenger bringing you news of Don's fibs, great and small. Ever hear the phrase "don't kill the messenger?" Perhaps some introspection is called for here. Perhaps what you are so mad at is having the fact you got duped by an inveterate liar thrown in your face.

    Example; GREENLAND...….Garbage!

    My number one concern; Fiscally irresponsible governments

    2018 NET Federal Income Tax; $34,870
    FY2016 Actual Deficit; $585 billion, in today's dollars; $625 billion
    FY2019 Estimated Deficit; $1.09 trillion
    Percent of increase over 3 years; 75%

    Question; When was the last time Uncle Sam had to increase the deficit by 75% over a period when the GDP Annual growth rate was above 2.5%?

    Response; "MAGA! Unemployment Rate, lowest since 1969"

    Horseshit!

    July 2019 Unemployment Rate; 3.7%
    July 2019 EMPLOYMENT Rate; 60.7%

    July 1999 Unemployment Rate; 4.3%
    July 1999 EMPLOYMENT Rate; 64.1%

    If today's employment rate was at 64.1%

    The math;

    July 2019 Civilian noninstitutional population; 259,225,000 X 64.1%
    Employed; 166,163,225
    Currently Employed; 157,288,000

    CONCLUSION; Lowest Unemployment Rate....IRRELEVANT!

    Next question; When was the last time Uncle Sam had to increase the deficit by 75% over a period when the GDP Annual growth rate was above 2.5%?

    I've wondering about the exact same question. Has there ever been a time in US history when the economy was doing well enough not to necessitate stimulative deficit spending that drives up deficits yet ran such a high annual budget deficit?

    MY seething anger? Holy batsh*t. Don't you ever read what you write? And you- the master of slander and insult, that has no idea how to communicate without it.
    "Lowly Messsenger". Especially the "mess" part.

    You are the one who has a problem here. It's not Trump that triggers your choice of behaviors- It's YOU.
    Trump isn't going to fix you, and I'm not going to fix you. Whatever burr is under your saddle- you put it there. Sad situation.
