Is Trump honest? Does it matter?

When he lies about how many showed up for his inauguration, e.g., no. If he lies about, say, blacks having the lowest unemployment in history (don't know or care if that's true), also a no. What else?

Doesn't it concern you to have a POTUS who may not know the difference between truth and falsehood? Or do you think he does know the difference and chooses to lie anyway?

When he was questioned by ABC News about his campaign assertion that "thousands and thousands of people" in Jersey City cheered the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11, Trump doubled down:

"It did happen. I saw it. It was on television. I saw it," he said.

You could perhaps explain that away as false memory + obstinacy. But in other circumstances, something like that could have very serious consequences.

I wish you lying leftist twits cared this much about the truth when ObamaTARD was running things into the ground. Nothing more comedic than watching a bunch of whiny ling leftist hypocrites crapping their diapers about the truth and deficits.

I have never seen anyone lie like Trump - literally anyone. It's an art form for him. He lies effortlessly, and seems to even choose lying when it serves no purpose whatsoever. It's like he would RATHER lie than tell the truth.

Obama was worse; but then, you're a lying gullible liberal dumbfuck on steroids and lack the basic intelligence to comprehend the OBVIOUS. :rofl2:

Hell, you lie worse than both on this forum on a daily basis. Not to mention crying constantly over Trumps victories and successes like a pathetic little pussy.
 
I told a Trump, to replace I told a lie!

The latter. and I think he knows his supporters know it too. I think he does it for effect.
Example: Global warming is a Chinese hoax. You think anybody including Trump believes that? It's to rile up his supporters.

I don't doubt this: "There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down." Not one bit.

I think lying about 'if you like your health ins., you can keep your hlth. ins." to garner support for something as flawed as the ACA is, is waaaay more serious than the stupid lies Trump makes.

You say you don't doubt there were Arabs in New Jersey cheering on 9/11 (not "thousands and thousands", maybe, but some).

What's the evidence for that? A video of a street crowd in Palestine?

That video was shot in Jerusalem. How is it that a video of so-called celebrations in the US has never been shown to this very day?

DEMOCRAT lies don't seem to distress you, anchovies.

Remember, if DEMOCRATS hadn't let Dirty Debbie collude with Crooked Hillary to fix the DEMOCRAT nomination, things might be different today.
