Trump most honest President in modern history

[The Barbarian]

Yeah I read the news and take a lot of it with a grain of salt since opinion/biased news seems to be the norm nowadays.

This had been known for some time. The fact that Daddy bailed out Trump on his failing casinos through illegal chip "sales" was long known, for example, as was the fact that Trump was given millions when he was a child, in a tax fraud scheme. The newspaper just did a little digging for the details. Turns out, if Daddy hadn't bailed him out repeatedly, he'd be selling shoes.

Opinion | Trump could be the most honest president in modern history

But when it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office Trump has done exactly what he promised he would.

I hope Trump remains president for another 4 - 8 years. I agree the man's not perfect, but compared to his competition, he's a saint. However, the thing I have most enjoyed about Trump's presidency is the (almost) musical whining of his haters.

Yeah I read the news and take a lot of it with a grain of salt since opinion/biased news seems to be the norm nowadays. If this was done 15-20 years ago I would probably have a tendency to believe more of it, since it was done a couple of weeks ago not so much. That being said do I believe the $1M claim, no. There are three sides to every story and I'm pretty sure I've seen the first two.

The "fake news" excuse is weak. Trump has lied, and lied, and lied. Money has a paper trail most of the time.

And his supporters keep supporting him and making up excuses for him. I think we all know that they would have never given any kind of leniency toward a Democratic liberal president or if Trump had won the election as a Democratic liberal president instead of a Republican conservative president.

Excessive honesty, particularly the brutal honesty displayed by Trump, isn’t necessarily a good thing. Too much honesty can lead to being flippant or just plain rude. Sometimes it’s important to say things in a way that isn’t so matter-of-factly, since too much directness can cause offense, particularly when dealing with a sensitive subject. Trump is a major offender when it comes to telling the truth, ironic as that sounds.

Apparently that makes no sense to Trump?

Excessive honesty, particularly the brutal honesty displayed by Trump

He lies even when there's no reason for him to want to lie. Stupid and pointless lies like saying his inauguration had the highest attendance in history, when there were photos showing otherwise.

Brutal, maybe. Honest, no. And even when he tells the truth, he pussyfoots around it, as though he were afraid of it. Picture his description of Nazis in Charlottesville; he sugar-coated his criticism of them, even saying some of them were "very good people."

Trump is a well known habitual liar, who wouldn't know the truth if it was staring him in the face.

Just lock him up already. Russian puppet. American Muppet.

Maybe you should pray for him that he transforms to the conformity of Christ.
The beating of a dead horse is pointless and unproductive.
Just a thought.

Well, there's that saying about opinions. Bob's article starts with that distinction, opinion. Facts show that no, Trump is not the most honest POTUS.

 

[Lost4words]

I like trump in that he speaks his mind. He doesnt hide behind the truth. He says what he means.

I like trump in that he speaks his mind. He doesnt hide behind the truth. He says what he means.

But some of the things he speaks are immortal, mean, and dangerous. Since when does the Bible day speaking your mind is a good quality in a leader, especially when what is in your mind is vanity, greed, braggadocio, and belittling?

lol - you just made my day

great thread - i agree that trump is the most honest president

the msm narratives are failing as we head toward the midterms

after the midterms msm will be faced with a choice to tell the truth or crash

in any case it is a very interesting time in america - politics is in a massive flux - the day of the self-serving career politician is coming to a permanent close - imo honest servant-minded people will start entering politics to enact truer agendas - thank God for trump's example of how to do the right thing no matter what lies get told about him in msm

trump is inspiring true patriots to get into the fray and make america great again - thank God - it's about time -

God bless POTUS and all patriots who love america and serve with a true heart - God bless america - God bless the countries of the world that also want this same good thing for their own country - may all the self-serving politicians be exposed and expelled - may all those who love the country rise to positions of power and influence - in Jesus' wonderful name

If Donald Trump is the most honest president in modern history than why did he break his presidential campaign promises to fight for LGBT American citizens and to protect transgenger American citizens? So much for his presidential campaign promise to represent and serve all Americans.

Donald Trump holds high the flag for gay equality

Trump promised to be LGBTQ-friendly. His first year in office proved it was a giant con.

President Trump once opposed bathroom laws and pledged to protect transgender Americans

As I said yesterday in this thread...

Donald Trump is such a hypocrite because he only changes his political positions to appease his evangelical conservative Christian base. He did the same thing with gay rights and equality too. I'm more than confident that once he's out of the White House and no longer the president, he's going to ditch his charade of being a conservative Christian and he'll go back to his prior liberal political views.

He bragging about groping multiple women, he joked about dating his daughter if she wasn't his daughter, he agreed with a profane name that Howard Stern called his daughter, he paid off a inappropriate content star to silence her about their affair, he's in his third marriage to his former mistress, he fathered five children with three different women, he derided Black NFL football players who knelt during the national anthem by calling them a profane name, he referred to El Savador, Haiti and other African countries with a profane name. He had to pay a $25 million settlement for his fraudulent university.

Just imagine the moral indignant reaction from Trump's conservative Christian supporters if former President Obama had ever demonstrated even the slightest hint of immoral and sexual deviant behavior that Donald Trump is more than guilty of. We can imagine that kind of immoral indignant reaction because that's exactly how these Christians reacted to Bill Clinton. If Donald Trump was a liberal Democratic president instead of a Republican president, the same Christians who support him now with such loyalty would publicly condemn him for his immoral and sexual deviant behavior.

You're free to believe whatever you want to believe nobody's going to stop you. But just remember this just because it's in print somewhere doesn't mean it's true, sometimes it takes time for the truth to emerge.

It's not a big deal to you that Donald Trump didn't keep his word on these two presidential campaign promises? And here I thought you agreed that he was the most honest president in modern history.

Seems to me both of them used their Brooklyn Democrat political connections to make that money they have, right...
