The New York Times used a full page to print 'Trump's lies' since taking office

The New York Times used a full page in the opinion section of Sunday's paper to print what it described as nearly every lie President Donald Trump had publicly told since taking office just over five months ago.

• The list includes contradictions by Trump on a slew of topics, like the Iraq War, NATO, the administration's travel ban, the crowd size at Trump's inauguration, and the ongoing controversy over Russia's interference in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign's possible role in it.
• Trump has contradicted himself on a regular basis and said many misleading statements since taking office and during the presidential campaign. His frequent falsehoods have prompted a debate by observers about whether to call them "lies," a label critics say suggests an intent that may not always be clear.
• Yet his rise to political stardom was built on his spreading the false "birther" theory that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not a US citizen. Beginning in 2011, Trump led the charge calling for Obama to release his long-form birth certificate, which he eventually did. Trump did not publicly reverse his comments until last September during the election, five years after he initially pushed the conspiracy theory.
• "President Barack Obama was born in the United States," he said. "Period."
• He then blamed the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, for starting the falsehood, saying: "Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I finished it - you know what I mean." That claim has never been substantiated.
• Trump's tendency to spout falsehoods also led the former FBI director James Comey to testify under oath that he did not trust the president to be honest about the nature of their private meetings.
• When asked by the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, Richard Burr, why he documented his interactions with Trump more meticulously than he did with Obama while serving as FBI director, Comey replied: "I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, and so I thought it really important to document."

Here's what The Times' list looks like in print:

Umm yeah, even J. Edgar Comey has talked about how false what the media has reported has been.

What's false?

How utterly lame.

Do "the media" (as you like to box them all together -- those that don't stick their tongue deep inside Dear Leader's behind, like those North Korean-style charlatans on 'Fox & Friends') occasionally get a story wrong? Of course they do.

That malignant narcissist with zero impulse control who has no place in the Oval Office however constantly splatters lies out of both sides of his potty mouth and does so on purpose. Whatever suits his incoherent narrative at any given moment.

Lies so gross, one would have to be a liar themselves or a complete moron not to see through them.

 

[KayLloyd]

What's false?

If you're really that interested, read or watch his testimony for yourself dear.

"Dear..."? Is that to obscure your deflection?

And, yes, I watched it live streamed.

Poor SER, it's going to be a long four years for you.

Poor SER, it's going to be a long four years for you.

Not to mention the rest of the country and the planet. But at least we'll have the Democrats winning control of the House next year as a consolation prize.

This will be one of those embarrassing "posts that didn't age well".

LOL, Kenny Nolan must be your favorite singer. The Dems have magically fixed the reason that they lost the election have they?

You mean eliminating the electoral college and indicting Trump for treason?

Phewww -- yeah, it really takes a while.

But with Trump's supporters/victims dropping like flies of opioid overdoses, he won't have many people to defend his honor outside of Washington for very long.

Sad.

McGarrett used to reference the exact same obscure singer. Interesting.

Actually, they'll have the Republicans who voted to eliminate healthcare for 23 million people to thank. Right before they partied with Trump on the White House lawn. Republicans from 71 Congressional districts more vulnerable than the 6th district of Georgia that they barely managed to hang on to just last week. Republicans from 23 districts in which Hillary Clinton won the presidential election.
