Lying Bigly in 2017
The only consistency in the most erratic presidency in US history is falsehood. Trump’s entire career and image are build on a mountain of lies, and lying is so deeply imbedded in his DNA that he will tell a lie even if telling the truth is easier and better for him. NBC News culled through the encyclopedia of his lies and picked out their top 9. Here they are:
- More people watched his inaugural than ever before.
- Hillary Clinton won the popular vote because of voter fraud.
- Michael Flynn did nothing wrong.
- “Look what happened last night in Sweden”.
- Obama bugged Cheeto Tower.
- Russian meddling in the election was “a made up story”.
- Counter protestors in Charlottesville lacked a permit.
- America pays the most in taxes.
- Tax “reform” will cost me a fortune.
This is a pretty deplorable list, for sure. What’s your favorite lie told by Trump this year?
