Trump Brags, Exaggerates, and Lies: He Can't Help It — He Needs Attention in Daily Limelight

Historical Record of My Lies
(8,459 and counting)

His go-to place to pontificate

Disturbing report here concerning Trump lies update (from Mediaite):

The Washington Post database includes Trump statements that are not merely misleading, false, but outright lies.

One thing Donald Trump never tires of winning at is lying, with this The Washington Post updated tally of Trump’s “false or misleading statements” demonstrates. 

The whopping total of whoppers now sits at 8,459.

At the same time, the Toronto Star has kept its own tally — compiled by reporter Daniel Dale – tracks not only Trump lies but pure falsehoods. 

That count last updated on January 30 stands at 4,238.

By contrast, President Barack Obama (Trump’s fav comparative villain) was estimated by a New York Times columnist to have told a mere total of only 14 lies during his entire presidency (8 full years).

Politifact rated 150 of Obama’s claims as either “False, Mostly False, or Pants on Fire.” Trump’s Politifact total triples Obama’s.

Trump takes pride in self-bragging and claiming to be the best, first ever, historically plateau holder in everything he does or tries to do – like no one else ever in modern history or even forever to hear Trump tell it.

My 2 cents: What truly amazes me and millions of others I am sure is how anyone can continue to support Trump more based on his lies. 

What if, for example, just imagine he were to translate his lies into public policy? We would cease to be the nation we profess we are have been since 1776. 

I firmly believe that Trump doesn’t care about our history – his actions, sadly, are his natural habit prove it, and he can't change. That is the worst and most-concerning part of this sad chapter in American history.

Now, to have our president, this president, or any president for that matter to lie this much and at the habitual level he does is mind boggling. 

That title itself is on him, but he could care less since it keeps him where he thrives: front and center, via not the how or why, just get there anyway possible.

Thanks for stopping by.
