It is obvious he will say anything to gain favor.

When confronted, he will evade or tell you that you were basically stupid to believe him to begin with.

Sites that track 'truth' consistently evaluate what Trump says or promises and 90% is out right lies or twisted/spun to some degree.

You can not believe anything he says. He will say one thing one day and something totally different the next.

This is not 'fake news' or fantasy. The whole 'Mexico will pay for the wall' to 'I will shut down government if congress does not fund the wall in the US budget' .... is just one prime example.

This is not something you can just write off as eccentric, or character.

Credibility is based on as least some truth and following through on promises. Right now, no world leader can take out government seriously. The people that elected him can not take him seriously.

He is a fraud and charlatan in the truest sense of the world. If he lived in the old west he would be selling snake oil.
The better question to ask is why does it matter only when the other side does it? I never listen to those who didn't hold obama accountable yet hold trump accountable and vice versa. It goes to credibility and integrity. The best thing to do is don't pay attention to partisans.

If you called the last president out for all his lies, you're on the right track. If not this OP is meaningless.

Hey look, it's my favorite poster that called me a Russian Trump bot with a join date of 2007 complaining about name calling.

Every time I read your posts I just can't help but imagine them written in crayon.

I thought personal insults were forbidden on CD.
I didn't mean that as an attack. I was merely stating the facts.

More like fight for himself, his family, and his own financial interests.

As for his lies, his diehard supporters don't care, as evidenced by this thread.

A cult is made up of people who think obama is honest. Obama honest. hahahahahaha I'll have to tell my friends they always laugh at absurd comments like that. I love the hypocrisy.

Saying water is dry, is a fact, does not make it true.

Never seen a bigger liar than our Liar in Chief. You also have to look at the people he has to help tell his lies. Spicer, Kellyanne Conway, Now Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Huckabee is the one I'm most surprised at since her dad is a preacher and you would think she would be embarrassed at publicly telling lies for anyone. Obviously she hasn't a conscience either...

Ironically Trumps bold faced lies are rather refreshing and enjoyable because they're so easy to spot.

He's not dangerous with them, just a buffoon.

Contrast that with a smooth talker telling you that we need to go to war because Saddam has WMD's or that you'll get to keep your doctor and your premiums will go down.

For now, I'm just enjoying the gridlock.
Usually I'll say I want to hear right up front how someone feels about an issue. I can't say this with trump. It's a crap shoot depending on what day it is.
I used to think he was doing the don't reveal your hand but if so he's taking it to absurd levels.

Here's an opinion piece about Obama's lies. The author lists 5 or 6.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...ies/409895001/

Here's Politifact's 8 page running tally of Trump's lies:
All False statements involving Donald Trump | PolitiFact

I'm no mathematician, but I'd say that Trump wins the fibbing competition.

they lie to themselves and pretend that he's not objectively and demonstrably the worst liar we have ever seen as President. They buy into his "fake news" bs and "alternative facts" nonsense and agree with him that anything that makes him look bad must be false. It's really kind of pathetic, actually
