    Reading and trying to decipher his mouth output makes my brain hurt.

    What a dishonest thread. He gave an opinion based on a guess and then had someone get the facts so he would know if he was speaking the truth.

    He gave a wrong opinion because he does not do any fucking homework. that info was available. He had plenty on his admin that could have told him the facts. But instead he just made shit up. And you have no problem with that.

    You don't think Obama used fact checkers?

    Had he not asked someone to verify his opinion, you would have a point. Since he did, you have none.

    Did Obama ever say, "I didn't know so I just winged it and asserted as truth something that was false. "
    Further, he asserted that the proof of a trade surplus or equivalency excluded timber, which upon further review
    was also false.

    The only point you ever make is that you will lie like a rug and deflect like a heat shield for the Orange Hog. I guess that makes you an orange piglet.

    What a stupid response. It doesn't matter if Obama admitted it, you know he did it as well. President's are not all knowing.

    Yes... Obama used fact checkers BEFORE he spoke.

    The most memorable claim in art of the deal is that if you borrow enough money, you own the lender.. That's ultimately why US banks wouldn't touch Trump.

    Doesn't he even talk in that book about how exaggeration can be used strategically?

    The level of dishonesty with Trump is off the charts. As I've said a few times, the GOP has forever ceded honesty as an issue in future elections.

    I mean - when was the last time we actually saw a politician brag about lying?

    It's an art form for him. I think he actually has a level of contempt for the truth.

    Obama still hasn't admitted that his 1980s crack was about the dumbest thing ever said by a president. And here we are placing more sanctions on Russia 5 ½ years later...

    its actually a bit more than that. Trudeau was using the US data saying that the US had a surplus with Canada. Trump was given data from canada which says that Canada had a surplus.
