Can you point to one real lie Trump told, with the exact quote and link?

Many on the left say that Trump lies. Some say he lies all day long, and that he tells thousands of lies per day, and so on. Every time I ask Lefties to provide proof of one alleged lie, they go silent. On the odd occasion someone rattle off examples from the top of their head instead of providing an exact quote, or point to a bunch of links using a Gish Gallop fallacy.

I look into their allegations only to find there was no such lie. They’ll say that Trump said, “Obama was born in Kenya", and I will point out that in fact it was Obama’s literary agent who said that in an autobiography. Trump then tweeted to Romney, “In debate, @MittRomney should ask Obama why autobiography states "born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia."

So please don’t rattle alleged lies off the top of your head. Instead, find the exact quote and provide a link to it. I will then look into it. If I find any genuine proven lies I will agree to them being lies.

Trump is an honest man so it’s doubtful you will find any legitimate lies. And remember, a “view” or a “belief” is not a lie. Trump might say he believes in Zeus, and you might say that’s a lie. You would be using the wrong word. He might be wrong about something, but if he believed it when he said it, it is not a lie. For instance, if he boasted that he was the greatest POTUS ever, that’s not a lie. He believes he is. So do I. Another thing that is not a lie is an exaggeration or a joke. If Trump said, “When you’re a star they let you do it… grab ‘em by the pussy,” this is not him saying he goes around raping women. That is the hysterical Left’s silly translation. Likewise, if he jokingly said, “Man, we’re gonna be the richest country for a million years,” that is not a lie – it is a harmless piece of joking or kidding around.

Here is the best way to go about this if you wish to try:

1) Calm down. Chillax. Don’t rush.

2) Be sensible. Go find what you think is a Trump lie. Use Google and Bing.

3) Research it a little. See what other people say. That part is very important.

4) Once you are sure it is a lie, and not just Fake News, present ONE accurate quote & link.

Good luck, but remember, to qualify you need to provide just one EXACT quote, and provide a link to show the alleged lie details. You say he lies, so YOU provide PROOF. I will look at that proof and if I see you made mistakes, I will provide details.
 
The fact of the matter is, that lying is just a socially acceptable way of life now, all the "successful" folk do it very nonchalantly.

The entire gist of Trumps statement was consistent with the word "would" and completely opposite of any use with "wouldn't".

He was expressing doubt about the FBI intel. I don't blame him either. But he clearly lied saying he meant to say "wouldn't". It's hilarious because it wouldn't make sense. Why wouldn't I think?... then go to describe several reasons why he would think it. LOL too funny.

Google this phrase
"Trump wouldn't instead of would"

It brought up the story about how Trump was forced by his own administration to say he meant ‘wouldn’t’ instead of ‘would’. What about it? When a man is ordered to take back something he said, the intent to deceive is not his, but those who do the ordering. All POTUS’ find themselves in this position from time to time – that’s politics, especially in regard to global adversaries and diplomatic relations with them. Trump doesn’t run the GOP, and when they insist he do something he will have to bend to their wishes. Now, before you call the GOP liars for this, as I said, many mistruths are told by political parties regarding their global enemies – that’s politics, war and life in general. We don’t sum it up as “lying”. It’s called politics and world diplomatic relations.

Go read what the Gish Gallop fallacy is. Park your dump truck and deliver ONE alleged lie with a link.

Trump was forced to say he meant to say "wouldn't"? I was not aware he was forced to say it. Who forced him to say it? How did they coerce him? Did they threaten to take away his twitter account? No more big macs on air force one? What could they have used as leverage against the guy who cares about nothing?

See my reply in post #12.

You'll have to try harder.

LOL try harder? I couldn't care less. I don't have a problem with you believing what you want. But you should try to understand how other people see it differently if you want to understand why they see it differently. Confirmation bias is not an easy habit to break, but it can be done.
