I started to answer with my list of lies, but your list far surpassed mine. There were so many I had forgotten. Let's see if his followers still support him when a recession starts.He lied to get into office. These from here: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/27/politics/fact-checking-the-cnn-presidential-debate/index.html
Trump’s repeat falsehoods included his assertions that some Democratic-led states allow babies to be executed after birth
that every legal scholar and everybody in general wanted Roe v. Wade overturned
that there were no terror attacks during his presidency
that Iran didn’t fund terror groups during his presidency
that the US has provided more aid to Ukraine than Europe has
that Biden for years referred to Black people as “super predators,”
that Biden is planning to quadruple people’s taxes
that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 National Guard troops for the US Capitol on January 6, 2021
that Americans don’t pay the cost of his tariffs on China and other countrie
that Europe accepts no American cars
that he is the president who got the Veterans Choice program through Congress
that fraud marred the results of the 2020 election.
And he repeated them in the last debate. He also said he'd end the Ukraine war before even taking office. And that prices would be coming down from Day One. Since walked back. He said he's deport 30,000 of the worst illegal immigrants to Guantanamo. Walked back. That he'd deport at least 11 million immigrants. He doing worse than Biden. That he's close the Department of Education. He cannot - only Congress can. That he'd deny citizenship for those born in the US. He's constitutionally not allowed.
How about his lies at his speech at the joint session? Trump’s address to Congress was built on a foundation of lies
that “We inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe.” This wasn’t true
that “We’re going to have growth in the auto industry like nobody’s ever seen. Plants are opening up all over the place.” That wasn’t true.
that towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, were “destroyed” by immigrants. That wasn’t true.
that in reference to Europe and aid to Ukraine, “[W]e’ve spent perhaps $350 billion, and they’ve spent $100 billion.” That wasn’t true.
that “For the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction.” That wasn’t true.
that in reference to Biden-era inflation, rates were the worst “perhaps even in the history of our country, they’re not sure.” They are sure and that wasn’t true.
that the Biden administration imposed an “electric vehicle mandate.” That wasn’t true.
that “I’ve stopped all government censorship.” That wasn’t true.
That “Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old. It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119.” Don’t believe it, because that wasn’t true.
that the Biden administration “closed more than 100 power plants.” That wasn’t true.
that “The presidential election of Nov. 5 was a mandate like has not been seen in many decades.” That wasn’t true.
that his first term economic agenda produced “the most successful economy in the history of our country.” That wasn’t true.
Many of the countless lies I could list were repeated many times prior to the election. People voted for him based on these lies.
It's honestly hard to keep up. He seems almost psychologically averse to the truth.I started to answer with my list of lies, but your list far surpassed mine. There were so many I had forgotten.
Which is more than Biden accomplished in three years.Results? The only cease fire is in the Black Sea.
Oh, I thought he was going to fix the Russia/Ukraine situation on Day 1 - not "nudge" them closer to a ceasefire. Just like he was going to bring down prices on Day 1 - not start an international trade war, rattle the market and spark fears of a recession.Trump Report Card: ‘Republicans like what they see’
For his seventh week in office, President Donald Trump continued to rumble through Washington, D.C., stirring up not just the swamp but unparalleled dissent in Democratic ranks for an added bonus.Trump continued to make sweeping cuts to the bureaucracy, finally making good on decades of GOP promises to slash the Department of Education. He said it was time to round up the usual liberal suspects who weaponized the Justice Department under former President Joe Biden. He followed through on years of wishes to impose reciprocal international trade tariffs. And he nudged Ukraine and Russia closer to a ceasefire.
remember, you can’t say the “c-word”.and yet he is at a 91% approval rate with the Republicans -
How does it take any incompetence, let alone a special kind of incompetence? The Republicans may have a majority in the House, but it's a tiny majority. They're better off in the Senate, but one's power to pass legislation there is limited if you don't have a filibuster proof majority (which they don't).It takes a special kind of total incompetence to be able to control the government like the Republicans currently do and still not be able to pass any legislation. Thankfully the Republicans have access to the most qualified unqualified members and they are not disappointing in this task.
You just need some investment grade avocados.I want to see less rock hard $5 avocados and more tax breaks on my investments.
Results? The only cease fire is in the Black Sea.
Before "negotiations" even started, the administration caved to Russia's demands (territory and Ukraine NATO membership). Maximum pressure was applied to Ukraine (temporarily suspending military aid and intel sharing) while no pressure was applied to Putin. And in the latest phone call, Putin kept Trump waiting....and then violated the alleged cease fire agreement within hours (or maybe it was minutes) of the alleged agreement to stop hitting the country's energy infrastructure.
What a deal maker.
‘There is no ceasefire. Attacks are ongoing’: how Putin’s envoy played US over Ukraine
“Our judgment is that Putin continues to obfuscate, continues to drag his feet,” the British foreign secretary, David Lammy, told reporters at Nato headquarters, describing the “ceasefire” and continuing negotiations. He added that while Putin should be accepting a genuine ceasefire, “he continues to bombard Ukraine. Its civilian population. Its energy supplies. We see you, Vladimir Putin. We know what you are doing.”
Lammy’s comments reflect a widening consensus that the Trump mediated “ceasefire” announced last month – a very partial arrangement at best – has rapidly deflated as it has encountered the reality of a Kremlin that seems determined to continue fighting.
As experts have noted, the commitments in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, were not only vague but lacked a mechanism to verify and enforce a truce.
“The Americans have not approached these talks from the point of view of [them being verifiable] and implementable, or in the knowledge of Russia’s history of violations. What is striking is how they have already brought Putin in from the cold without Russia making any gesture of goodwill.”
