What was Trump's most pointless lie?

[Tranquillus in Exile]

Everybody knows the big ones, but what was his most trivial, pointless one? I vote for this:

“I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful.”

Next day the Chief Scout apologized to the scouting community for the “political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree.”

>> Obama personally apologizes for Americans losing health coverage

Nov 7 2013
President Obama said Thursday that he is "sorry" that some Americans are losing their current health insurance plans as a result of the Affordable Care Act, despite his promise that no one would have to give up a health plan they liked.

"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he told NBC News in an exclusive interview at the White House.

"We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this." <<

When did Trump retract even one of his hundreds of stupid lies?

which of Trump's lies have had anywhere near the impact of Obama's?

FYI. I support Single Pay as the most cost efficient way to provide universal access-
I was very disappointed we got to Obamacare with no transition to SP

Hard to know. The inauguration lie was a biggie. Yours as well. Muslims dancing on 9/11.

 

[Tranquillus in Exile]

As far as we know, Trump still insists that he saw "thousands and thousands" of Muslims in Jersey City cheering the 9/11 attacks.

When the mayor, police and news media said they had no record of it, he doubled down: "It happened. I saw it on TV."

But that was a big lie. This thread is about trivial ones.

"Hillary would be a good president".......

 

[Cypress]

He is unlike any other national politician I can remember in my life.

He lies, and he lies relentlessly, then he lies about lying, and he lies about shit that there was no need to lie about.

He is incapable of apologizing, or expressing any kind of remorse for lying.

I have never seen anything like it, I don't think even in real life. He's gotta have some mental issues.

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

Don't you find that a little lame at this point?

The Washington Post put together a list of over 1,500 misrepresentations or outright lies from Trump in YEAR ONE. You & yours repeat the same lie from Obama - over EIGHT YEARS - to somehow counter that.

Don't you realize it strengthens the idea that Obama was basically honest, and that Trump is a pathological liar?

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

And that works out to over 5.5 per day. Compared to one from Obama over 8 years.

Well that was a lie to cover his first lie. He and the dims did absolutely nothing to rectify it.

When did Trump retract even one of his hundreds of stupid lies?

He's an ass, no doubt but his lies don't actually hurt hundreds of thousands of people like Obama's lie of the decade.

Not YET. But we have a president who appears to be utterly indifferent to truth. We'll see what he comes up with.

His lie (or to put it charitably, his delusion) about 9/11 could have had very serious consequences. Would that have bothered him? What do you think?

the American voters dont agree with you and Putin


most Americans wish he was still president

That wasn't a lie you lying fuck.

You racist white mofo started spewing you lost your insurance when if fact, you were kicked off by the insurance companies. It had nothing to do with ACA.

Why people believe the lie is beyond me.

 

[TTQ64]

The biggest most damaging lie is when he said President Obama wiretapped him.

Nothing happened to him for telling that whooper of a lie.
