    The Washington Post fact-checkers have documented every single lie that Pres. Trump has said since taking the oath of office.

    Here a quote from the beginning of the article:

    Precisely because there are so many lies and he has repeated so many of them over and over and over in spite of being called out by numerous organisations (and not just news organisations) for this blatant lying, the WAPO has also provided a database of every single lie. Just to be sure: "false or misleading claims" is simply a polite way of saying "lies". Here is the database:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/

    A very specific example is here, about the "border wall":

    2019-10-014 trump over 13,000 lies - specifically, the border wall.png



    The database is searchable. When you scroll over the time balkan, the interactive graphic will display how many times the lie was repeated on that specific day.

    This is quite obviously an ongoing current event as the article was published TODAY: furthermoe, since today is precisely the 998th day of the Trump presidency and in exactly three days, we will reach the 1,000 day mark. This means that Trump's lies of the last 4-5 days have not yet been inputted into the database. This is a positive thing - it means that WAPO truly checks everything more than once, acribically, before reporting it.

    I will be updating this thread every single day for a long time to come, as this current event will remain current as long as presidential lies, and I mean, factually verifiable lies, continue to happen. Until now, we have seen no evidence whatsoever that those lies, either in their intensity, their brazenness or in their sheer numbers, are abating.

    This means that the BLOTUS is averaging 13+ lies PER DAY! :eek:

    Unbelievable that anyone still supports that lying shyster.

    I think that the lies are not seen as lies by his base. They live in the same mindset. As long as Trump bashes others, it does not matter if lies are used or not. The purpose is to make the other guy seem bad.

    Don't forget that one of the pillars of conservatives is to bash others, especially liberals. It is not like they have much else.

    Yup!

    Unfortunately it is not going to be recorded as one of the high points of our history either.

    The best that we can hope for is that We the People take back our Congress and have it actually represent us in the future.

    Ever notice how it is always those with low self esteem that need to bring others down to their own level?

    Those with high self esteem have no need to put anyone else down.

    And some OCD-riddled barking moonbat counted every one of them, and pinned them up on his crazy wall.

    These people need to seek the help of mental health professionals.

    Trump is the most dishonest and corrupt president in history. This is well known.

    To me, anyone who supports him at this point, doesnt care. They support him anyways because they hate liberals so much, they are willing to accept anything. ANYTHING, as long as it "triggers" liberals. They do this because they are shallow retched human beings, with no self esteem. Its disgusting, and they disgust me as people. I consider them all to be garbage.

    That's quite interesting....could you imagine if they did this sort of review of Obama, Clinton or Adam Shifty?

    Tis report highlights one major thing, the President is by far the most vetted person to ever be in Office...

    Is that's why you continuously labeling President Trump BLOTUS, because of high self esteem? Is that's why Democrats are the onces who have invented safe spaces?

    You're killing me :roflol:

    The left must have low self esteem because they are always trying to bring Republicans/Conservatives/Christians down.

    Everything that is going with President Trump, every new scandal is a part of a massive illusion, created by the Democrats. It is so evident but is necessary to keep Democrats aroused and beliving. Keep at it, my friend.

    Indeed. I also believe Trump is playing Democrats. And some of the smarter Democrats (I know, right?) beginning to sound a warning bells:

    Harry Reid Warns Democrats: Trump Is a ‘Very Smart Man’

    Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a warning to fellow Democrats: Underestimate President Trump at your own peril.
    In an interview, Reid told CNN’s David Axelrod, who had worked as the chief strategist in the Obama administration, that he previously didn’t think Trump was “too smart,” but now he does not “believe that anymore.”

    Trump is a “very, very smart man” who is “never, never willing to debate an issue on terms that aren’t his,” Reid, 79, told the host. And despite the inquiry about impeachment, Reid believes Trump will be quite difficult to defeat in 2020.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/harry-reid-warns-democrats-trump-is-a-very-smart-man_3115772.html

    Do NOT heed to Harry's advice, my fella PF's... nothing to see here... keep raging about Trump's stupidity :D

    You are supporting him by attacking your fellow American. You must also admire him to emulate him as you do. Its sad that he is an accurate reflection of the average American and your post is an example of that.

    If a person screams that the moon is flat and square, it is not hysteria to call an obvious lie a lie. It's people who know how to fact-check doing their jobs.

    Trump claimed already on the 1st full day of his presidency that the crowd for his inauguration was the largest in history. And yet, air-footage from numerous and independent-from-each-other sources immediately proved his claim to be false. Had he simply shut his mouth about it, we would have forgotten about it and said to ourselves that he was merely exaggerating, but no, he went and claimed this bullshit over and over and over again and sent Sean Spicer (who obviously knew better) to go in front of reporters and mouth the same bald-faced, brazen lie.

    And compared to a lot of the **** he said, this lie FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY OF HIS ****ING PRESIDENCY is a little white lie.

    Either his supporters can continue to support this crap come what may, or they can salvage a small bit of their pride and sense of decency and admit that circa 13,000 LIES is a lot of LIES.

    It's really that simple.

    Bwahahahaha! Trump tells a joke, the sufferers say it is a lie. That is what much of it is. The left still hasn't gotten over the 2016 election.

    That's like saying a dog barked 798 times within a 24 hour period. Of course, the dog barked an unbelievable number of times each day. That's what dogs do. Similarly, a pathological liar will lie an unbelievable number of times each day. That's what pathological liars do. Sorry, I just don't see any news here.
