"We are the highest taxed nation in the world,” President Donald Trump has repeated over and over again."

"He said it Tuesday during a meeting with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. He said it at a White House event last Friday. He's tweeted it, repeated it in television interviews and declared it at countless rallies. It is his go-to talking point, his favorite line as he tries to lead the Republican Party to a once-in-a-generation overhaul of the federal tax code."


"It is also false — something fact checkers have been pointing out since 2015, when Trump first began declaring it on the campaign trail."

"On Tuesday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders sought for the second time in less than a week to defend the comment by saying, in effect, that Trump did not mean what he said."

Remember over the last eight years when conservatives told us repeatingly that "Obama lied," implying that it was a negative character flaw, and now they got their President who not only lies nearly daily but keeps echoing the same lies he got caught in before, and their silence is deafening

"Believe me folks, believe me"

Did, or has the President ever said, "we are the highest corporate taxed nation in the world?" No

I'll give you that, he didn't use the most correct words.

“Trump is saying something that Washington has ignored for too long — American businesses are the highest taxed in the developed world,” said Alex Hendrie, the director of tax policy at Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist’s right-wing group, which calls for major tax cuts. “While our competitors have lowered the rates in past years and decades, the tax rate for U.S. businesses has stayed the same for three decades.”

Wait a minute, in the umpteen times, including today, did the President say "we have the highest corporate taxed nation in the world," or, does he repeatingly echo "we have the highest taxed nation in the world?" A lie, a lie he knows is a lie, but that don't stop him

What you are attempting to offer is the infamous "alternative facts," or as Huckabee did today "clarifying" he didn"t mean what he said
 
Par for the course. Trump makes and repeats a bogus claim, and his baby-sitters fumble around trying to make it sound legit.

It's no different that when alarmists use the phrase "climate change" when they are really talking about "anthropogenic global warming". Trump is an idiot on the issue and conflates facts which leads to him misstating things. No different that climate alarmists saying people deny "climate change". One small difference though... alarmists do it on purpose while Trump is just too fucking stupid to make concise statements
