Hello everyone, and welcome to the official "Potus is lying again" sticky thread. Your one-stop thread for any and all posts meant to call out the president for any proven/unproven lies he may or may not have told. Also, this thread is not only restricted to posts about President Trump. Feel free to discuss other public figures who you feel have been caught being dishonest or deceitful. On this thread, you will have the freedom to go where your mind takes you without fear of having your thoughts removed because you have gone "off topic". As long as you are "on topic" in the loosest sense of the word, your posts are safe here. Of course spam or posts which have absolutely no business on the thread will be removed.

However, please understand that the off topic rule is the only rule not being enforced as usual on this thread. Trolling, inappropriate language, hate speech, personal attacks, etc. are still prohibited and posts which do not adhere to the rules of the site will be removed. So please, engage in healthy debate, and do not attack other users.

5.............4............3...........2.......... .1..........Begin.

Edit:

This thread exists, as a sticky, because every few days a new thread with the same title, "Potus is lying again" pops up on the forum. Inevitably, the thread goes off topic and then is shut down. So I have created a thread with wider boundaries in order for users to discuss this subject however they wish. So the inevitable off topic posts will not be removed unless it is absolutely necessary, and threads which deal with "lies" the president has told will end up here. I hope this helps people better understand the reason this thread exists, and why it is a sticky.

Strange thread, considering lies are often subjectively identified.
One man's understatement is another man's overstatement etc.

Obamacare was the biggest tax hike / lie sold to Americans in the last 30 years.

Gruber made an argument that many of Obamacare’s critics have long made, including me. It’s that the law’s complex system of insurance regulation is a way of concealing from voters what Obamacare really is: a huge redistribution of wealth from the young and healthy to the old and unhealthy. In the video, Gruber points out that if Democrats had been honest about these facts, and that the law’s individual mandate is in effect a major tax hike, Obamacare would never have passed Congress.

Nobody becomes a successful businessman without the ability and inclination to be a convincing liar.

But is he a successful businessman? Trump has declared bankruptcy no less than four times, and he is the only presidential candidate since 1974 who has refused to release his tax return, why is that?

Richard Branson said that during a meeting he had with Trump, he was surprise by the vindictiveness shown by him toward the people who would not help him when he was bankrupt. The fact is US banks don't believe that Trump is good business man.

LIES

This slimeball just can't stop lying. It's a disease. He's a cancer.
It's so habitual that he would pass the lie detector with an A+
