Under oath or not: He can't tell the truth about anything
The latest
string of lies from our president, so wake up America – wake up to the fact and
realize that Trump loyalists have been and remain conned and duped. Cite this additional
ton of lies from him that now total more than 5,000 to date here and in part
here from The AP fact
checking (with my emphasis added):
MIDDLE-CLASS INCOME
TRUMP: “Middle-Class Income Hits All-Time
High!” @foxandfriends
and will continue to rise (unless the Dems
get in and destroy what we have built). — Trump
tweet last Thursday.
FROM VP PENCE: “Just today, if you hadn’t heard
about it yet, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that, last year, middle-class
incomes in America hit an all-time high — that’s worth celebrating — for
working families.” — remarks in Grand
Rapids, MI last Wednesday.
THE FACTS: These assertions are an example of
how Trump and other administration officials often seek credit for trends in
place before they took office. Trump’s own
Census Bureau also cast doubt on the claims.
Median U.S. household income — the level at which half
of the U.S. population earns more and half less — grew
5.1 percent in 2015 and 3.1 percent in 2016, during the Obama administration.
It was the fastest two-year growth on record, dating to
1967.
In 2017, Trump’s first year in office, median income grew at a
slower pace of 1.8 percent to reach what technically was an all-time high,
adjusted for inflation, of $61,372.
However, the
same Trump Census Bureau also warned in its report last week that after
adjusting for changes the 2013 methodology, last year’s
figure was not actually an all-time high. Instead, it remained
slightly below 1999′s level of $61,966, though the bureau noted that the
difference was minor.
(I note: Yep but however, NOT minor in
Trump’s me, me, me only me tweet one-track mind).

TRUMP’S ‘DAMN’ BORDER WALL
TRUMP: “We’re building the wall, not only
building it, we’ve already started it. We’ve started the wall. $1.6 billion
last year, $1.6 billion this year, we’re rapidly in San Diego and other parts
of the country. We’re picking the locations that are worse.” —
remarks at fundraising event in SD on September 7.
THE FACTS: Trump’s claim that he secured $3.2 billion for construction of a wall along
the U.S-Mexico border is wrong. Nor
is the construction underway adding any mileage to what’s already in place.
Congress allocated $1.6 billion for the wall and
related security measures this year.
The administration requested an additional $1.6
billion next year to add 65 miles (104 kilometers) of wall in the Texas Rio
Grande Valley but has not received any of it.
Legislative leaders in the House and Senate pledged
agreement this past week on a short-term spending bill that would not address
wall money. GOP leaders have said they preferred to resolve the issue after the
November 6 elections.
Trump is
correct that wall construction is underway in San Diego — as well as Santa
Teresa, New Mexico, and Calexico, California — but
it replaces or fortifies existing barriers NOT anything new under Trump.
Barriers currently blanket 654 miles (1,046 kilometers), or roughly one-third
of the border with Mexico, much of it built under President George W. Bush.
The $1.6
billion that Congress authorized this year came with a condition that the wall must adhere to existing designs.
But last year, the Trump administration
built eight prototypes in San Diego that were intended
to guide future construction (not what Congress intended).

of major concern are here and in detail at The AP link:

HURRICANE MARIA IN PUERTO RICO RESPONSE:
TRUMP: “3000 people did not die in the two
hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had
hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths.”
“As time
went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to
report really large numbers, like 3,000.... This was done by the Democrats in
order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising
Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any
reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto
Rico!” — Trump tweets last Thursday.
THE FACTS: He is making a baseless assertion
that massive deaths did not happen, even if the exact toll from the hurricane
remains imprecise.
My 2
cents:
First of all – what a
sad pathetic hypocrite. On Trump’s point about hurricane deaths. This analogy clearly shows just
how thick he truly is:
He misses any key points by a country mile, e.g., what
if the hurricane wiped out a hospital or clinic where people were hooked up to medical
machines. Then suddenly they have no life-support and they die.
That Mr. Trump
is a “hurricane-related death (i.e., cause and effect).”
Your stance on this
shows what a horrible shameless person you are, on top of being the nation’s
all-time serial liar who is insensitive to anyone except your own pitiful self –
shame on you.
I have never felt this repulsive of any president nor
ever thought I’d call our president a serial liar and a proven one in fact (he now has a documented record of over 5,000 lies) – yet, somehow far too many still accept this new low standard — why it that do you suppose?
