No Trump lie could ever compare to "keep your doctor, keep your insurance".

That may be the biggest lie ever told to the American people.

8 years of lies.

The man contradicts himself constantly. Sometimes in the same sentence.

The news is fake but the leaks are facts.

Now how does that even make sense?

No, not by a long shot. Not even close.

Bush/Cheney's mythical WMD's would definitely be the the Top Ten.

Trickle-down economics is another in the Top Ten.

to be perfectly honest- it was not Obama that changed the rules-- but the insurance companies- I do not know why anyone thinks the govt has full control of these wolves in sheep clothing-
they do as they please and after trump care, what does NOT fit them they will also do whatever makes them the most profit-
There are given a path- there are NO guns held on the capitalist profit making Insurance Cos to follow it.
Follow the MONEY!!! you are getting duped, and many will find themselves at death's door- part of the plan- eliminate the weakest. MARK MY WORDS

In most cases, it is a matter of context. Technically, news can be fake and factual at the same time. In the media, it is called "spin", or being selective with the facts. The purpose is to misrepresent or exaggerate or overemphasize, for purposes of dishonesty/distortion.


Most people know that the media grabs "sound bites", and takes them out of context. Or that they are taking a statement literally, when its meant to be figurative.


For instance, the video shows Trump saying he has a relationship with Putin. When at the time Trump was just a businessman, and as a businessman, it is useful to say you are friends with just about everyone(he was friends with the entire Democratic Party, including the Clintons, until he ran for president).


If we can be objective for a moment, I don't think Trump intended to deceive. He just uses language loosely.


I mean, think of a typical conversation you might have with everyday people. No one takes everything everyone says in a conversation literally. You have to "read between the lines" to understand what they mean.

Donald Trump's supporters "know what Trump means". Which is why they get annoyed by all the controversy over nothing.

Indeed. And after repeatedly deny, deny, deny, Donna Brazile admits that she passed debate questions to Hillary ahead of time. She says it's her job to make Democrats "look good". It reminded me of the position that Islamists hold: It's OK to lie as long as it accomplishes their goals.

Another way she could have stated it is that it's her job to make Republicans "look bad" and that's why she cheated and lied repeatedly about it.

Guess she's the one (and all her kind) who look bad now.

It was common sense to anyone to know that doctors would move out of plans if it wasn't lucrative to them to stay, and the that's why so many doctors became unavailable. Some left practice entirely, some didn't participate in as many plans, some stopped taking Medicare patients.

Anyone with any foresight could have seen that and predicted that would happen.

Instead, foolish people believed the "keep your plan, keep your doctor" lie.
