The Right Side of the News

lets go with one of the most obvious lies, one he told right to the faces of service members: LIE: service members have received raises every year since 1983. LIE: the pay increase for 2019 was 2.6%how is getting basics facts wrong simply "not being careful about what he says". He claimed he got the troops a greater than 10% raise the actual amount is much less than that, he signed the bill authorizing the 2.6% increase how did he not notice that 2.6% is less than 10%?Edited by DrJones*, : No reason given.

He's not careful about such facts, and that in itself is a big failing, but it's not lying. He doesn't pay close attention to particulars. He should, but he doesn't. It's not lying although I agree it's a big fault of his.

And the "lying" you all impute to him is just not being careful about what he says.

---

By which you mean not caring whether something he says is true or not ? I think that is really the point.

quote:

---

...he's getting the information from somewhere and just doesn't check it out.

Or flat out making it up,

I found lots on the charm of the narcissistic personalty, don't know why you missed it.

There is a difference between missing something and finding sources which don’t list it. If you are going to argue that the charm is essential you need more than a lot of sources listing it, especially as with most of these things a 100% match isn’t needed.

I don't see it.

That is hardly surprising.I think that the shamelessness is pretty obvious.Magical thinking - how exactly was he going to get the Mexican government to pay for his Wall ?Arrogance. Trump regularly “disses” people on Twitter, often with little justification.Envy - well remember all the fuss about the Inauguration Day crowds and how annoyed he was when it was pointed out that Obama’s inauguration saw bigger crowds.Entitlement - plenty of people say that Trump is “awkward” to deal with.Exploitation - remember how upset he got about Sessions recusing himself from overseeing the Mueller enquiry ? Complaining that Sessions should be defending him ? When that isn’t the Attorney General’s job ?Bad boundaries. Remember the phone call with the President of Mexico when Trump urged the Mexican President to stop saying that Mexico wouldn’t pay for the Wall ? Because it was bad for Trump ? And when it would be politically suicidal for any Mexican politician to let people think that he might approve payments for Trump’s Wall ?

Oh, M'lady. I will try harder to not upset your gentle constitution vis-a-vis any personal feelings.But, Love, your politics, religion, philosophy, world view are not just different from mine or different from the majority but are evil and down right dangerous to our species as a whole. I will do my best. But I am who I am so I may not always succeed. Forgive me.

Perhaps you are right. In which case you need to explain what you mean.

he's not lying? He claimed to their faces that he got them a greater than 10% pay raise when in fact it was much less. I can chalk up his lie about how long it's been since they got a raise to his general stupidity, but the actual amount is something he claimed to have had a personal hand in.

Just say it straight and hate me honestly as everybody else here does, and leave off the "M'Love" crap. I feel very much the same about YOUR politics, philosophy and worldview, that they are sheer evil and dangerous to everything good in this world. Positively toxic and lethal in fact. Totalitarian, anti-American and fundamentally inhumane. Now, your use of the word "love" is cynicism itself.Oh gosh, you would actually say it's just the way you are? That's crap, AZ, cut it out.Oh and my views are pretty consistent with the millions who voted for Trump, not different from THAT majority.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

That kind of discrepancy can't be a lie, it's too blatant.

nobody has said that he's a good liar. One of the reasons why there's so many articles about his lies is that they're easy to spot.What makes you think that he cares about how blatant his lies are?Edited by DrJones*, : No reason given.

he lost the popular vote by 3 million, not a majority.

Nope.

That's Trump to a T.

The voices in his head.Either he's constantly lying or he has no connection with reality. I believe the latter.

Maybe, but it shows inability to deal with reality.

Aside from the fact that I really don't believe that, it doesn't matter either to what I'm saying or to your claim about the election.The reason we have the Electoral College is that the popular vote is a false representation of the nature of the country. The densely populated areas all vote as one anyway, so you can count that three million and much more as one urban-centered Leftist vote.And it has nothing to do with what I was saying anyway. AZ treated my opinion as far from the majority, but in fact it represents most of those who voted for Trump.

Incredibly blatant lies are often the most effective.But it interesting to see you arguing how incapable Trump is.
