Do you have a favorite lie that Trump told?

[Tranquillus in Exile]

Yeah, the one that I cite frequently is when he was criticized for his speech at the Boy Scout Jamboree, where he was sort of bizarrely political. And he was asked about this criticism, and he said something like, “No, no, the head of the Boy Scouts called me and told me it was the greatest speech that had ever been given at the Boys Scout Jamboree.” And so I emailed the Boy Scouts, thinking they wouldn’t respond because big entities tend to not want to contradict the president, but they emailed me back and said, “No one ever called and no one ever said that.”

The other one that stands out is an interview he did with The Wall Street Journal. He was boasting about the impact of his tariffs. Then, a bit later in the interview, the Journal asked him about some of the criticism of his tariffs, and he said something like, “No, no, I don’t have any tariffs. What tariffs? I’ve threatened tariffs, but I haven’t imposed any.” And so he just went from literally boasting about this policy to claiming it doesn’t exist.

Which is your favorite pointless lie? Or if you're a Trump fan, which are you proudest of?

My favorite is him saying he invented the term fake. He didn't even invent the term fake news.

All of them. Every one displays their delusional mindset, that reality itself is biased against them.


Uh... it is!

Observations aside...I like the one where he declares himself to be the most healthy Potus ever.
His fucking huge fat countenance belies that one. Yes, and Jabba the hut is the most healthy
star wars character ever too!

It's easy to tell when trump is lying. His lips are moving.

His supporters are morons.

"Stable genius" is a favorite. So is comparing himself to Joe Biden and proclaiming himself a "vibrant young man." Hahahahahaha!
