  • Trump lies and false news breaks all records

    Trump has told more lies and fake news than any other president. One of the latest whoopers was on global warming.

    “There is a cooling, and there’s a heating. I mean look, it used to not be climate change, it used to be global warming. That wasn’t working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place. The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records. They’re at a record level.”

    These articles are hilarious because they list things like differences of opinion, or when the President rounds, say, a dollar figure as a lie. And it's amazing how Politifact will spin and spin until they feel like they can call a factually true statement a lie. It's why I say their slogan should be "Politifact: All politics, no facts."

    But since you seem enamored with this sort of thing, a 2014 FOX News poll found that 81% of respondents believed that Obama lied about important matters at least some of the time.

    And here's a list of over 1000 of Obama's biggest lies:

      This source reflects public opinion, and results reflect the political divide in the country, and not documented lies by Obama.

      And here's a list of over 1000 of Obama's biggest lies:

      Nothing here demonstrates lies. By far most does not represent accusations of lying. It is dominated by political objections and opinions against Obama.

      For example: How do you explain the specific and factual whooper lie about global warming.

        What are you upset about??? 'I mean look, it used to not be climate change, it used to be global warming.'?

          Isn't it strange how you don't look at negative stories about Trump with the same critical eye?

            No, the two terms are considered synonymous among scientists. That is not the big whooper lie in the quote, read again. . .

              My citations are very specific lies and not differences from political perspectives.

              By the way the list is going to grow and grow like Pinocchio's nose. More to cite in the future directly contradictory his fellow Republicans.

                If it wasn't for gullible rubes like frank-n-beans, the liberal media would be out of business.

                  Sometimes you have to wonder, is he lying, or could he just be that much of an ignoramus that like many of it's conservative viewers, he has no clue, and just regurgitates what he hears on Fox News.

                    Source for the bolded, please? All you did was point to something you say is false and then point to other allegedly false statements. Even if you're correct that all are false, that's a long way from actually proving your claim. You can't just point to some false statements (one can do that for any president), you have to prove it's actually more than any previous president.

                        Notice how quick he was to dismiss a similar claim about Obama.
