Okay, you may have a point there. After all, the Queen Mother did start it all with "Keep Calm and Carry On." Regardless, Trump needs to revisit his wording and inflection and also work on making sure his name-dropping is accurate. (It was Dick Grasso not Dick Russell, so it makes one wonder just how "great" their friendship was.)

Oh, for crying out loud.

The point he was making? He was lying.

Trump lied about seeing Muslims dance and celebrate 9/11. Lied about the stock market opening the next day. Lied about baseball continuing on as if nothing happened. Lied about his role in helping in the aftermath :ied to get 9/11 money. ...

Is there anything about 9/11 that he didn't lie about?

I'm not sure if it's more funny or sad how Trump has directly contradicted himself via Twitter so often between what he's said about what Obama does and what he himself has done as POTUS.

Donald Trump has the intellect of a twelve year old.

He could have made the same point by actually using factual data.
He chose to lie.


Just like he did when he stated that the U.S. is the only country with birthright citizenship.

"In an interview with "Axios on HBO", President Trump falsely claimed that the U.S. is "the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States ... with all of those benefits.""

I haven't followed this thread but I was amazed to the latest Trump lie: “We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States . . . with all of those benefits,”
https://youtu.be/9Jlh2AzYp8E

How is a president allowed to make such a gross lie? Most of the countries in the Americans have birthright, plus a few in Europe. About 30 in total.

Isn't this supposed to be the same people who support the constitution?

Here is a map of countries that have birthright citizenship.

Looks like the night time Fox News hosts have decided they want to be on the liar's page. They are using fake stories about health care. They are using fake stories about illness being brought over the border (leprosy really).

Fox news Trump TV.

I guess this rightly belongs in this thread:

Quote:
...Trump recruited prospective investors by telling them about a “great opportunity” at ACN, a multi-level marketing company, the lawsuit states. Trump told the would-be investors that he’d done his own research and wasn’t endorsing the company for any money, court papers say.

“Not a word of this was true,” said the suit, which claims Trump and his children secretly received millions from 2005 to 2015 to back ACN. Trump knew it would be a money-losing deal for many of the inexperienced investors signing on, the suit claimed. ...
Trump scammed cash-strapped investors with false promises, lawsuit says
Donald Trump and family allegedly received millions in secret. A Trump Org. lawyer called the suit baseless

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tr...ays-2018-10-29

"In November 2016, Trump agreed to a $25 million to settle cases alleging deceptive practices at Trump University, which was supposed to teach students the secrets to Trump’s real estate savvy.

Trump settled without admitting liability.

The New York State Attorney General’s office is also suing to dissolve the Trump Foundation, a charity. Trump wrongly used the charity as a piggy bank to help his business dealings and 2016 presidential campaign. Trump is fighting the pending case in Manhattan Supreme Court."
