The Three Biggest Lies Of The Trump Era
Issues & Insights ^ | J. Frank Bullitt

Posted on 07/18/2019 3:00:54 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Lying has always been a part of politics. But what we’re seeing today is extreme. Politicians’ falsehoods, eagerly parroted by celebrities, are aided by a media that, rather than acting as an impartial referee, has become an agency for Democrats and the political left. Here are the top three whoppers since President Trump took office that those sick with Trump Derangement Syndrome just won’t let go of.

Trump’s Supporters Are Racist

“Trump is, without question, a racist,” a senior writer at The Root named Michael Harriot, who identifies himself on his Twitter account as a “master race-baiter,” wrote recently in that publication. “And so are his supporters. Not some of them. All of them.” (Emphasis added by Harriot.)

On Sunday, the day President Trump posted his “go back home” tweet aimed at The Squad, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, one of the president’s targets, tweeted “Trump is a racist. If you still support him, so are you.”

A couple of months ago, a cable news exchange between CNN anchor John Berman and activist Michaela Angela Davis went this way:

Davis: I think it’s important we don’t make Trump seem this untouchable thing … that no one gets to be Trump but Trump. Tens of millions of people voted for him after he showed his cards for years.

Berman: But are you suggesting that they’re racist …

Davis: Absolutely yes. Yes.

Berman: All the people that voted for Donald Trump are racist?

Davis: Yes.

These charges are untrue on their face. If they were true, there would be nearly 63 million (Trump’s 2016 vote total) racists in this country. Or maybe more. Roughly 46% of the voters marked their ballots for Trump. I

The leftist half to lie in order to support some very bed behavior. What this whole debacle shows me is just how strong the control over the minds of these political pawns ofthe deep state globalists actually have. Their anger is an reasoning because it’s not based on reason. They can’t justify it because there is no fact just commands In what’s left of their logic structure.

So amazing that people will give up their mind as long as their flesh will be Justified.

Group think is a powerful tool in the Communist arsenal. It turns smart people into blathering useful idiots. Just the way Lenin wanted it.

Some people are bound and determined to have their way in life no matter what. Go to a fancy college with your eyes open and you’ll be astonished at what you see and hear.

Funny how no one quotes Andrew “Cuomo” who coined the phrases “CUOMO NOT THE HOMO” when helping his dad Mario run against Ed Koch for mayor of New York city...or more recently:
Gov. Cuomo to conservatives: Leave NY!
By Aaron Short NY POST

Question: HAS “A” CUOMO EVER SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICES OF THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA......EVEN DURING WORLD WAR II or THE KOREAN WAR?
at least trump had a medical deferral not some college deferral...…..I pose an honest question, I do not know. I do know Mario played baseball for St. John Univ. during the Korean War.

It’s getting to the point where if someone says “you’re a racist”, the correct response is “so what?”. Actually the best response would be to smile confidently, knowing you just won the arguement, turn and walk away, but I would not turn my back on any of these people these days.

FTA: Yes, Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides.” But what “sides” was he talking about? At the news conference in which he used those words, he followed up by making it clear “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” The “very fine people” he was referring to “didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis.” In fact, he clearly stated there were “some very bad people in that group.”

“It’s absolutely established that Trump excluded those people explicitly before saying that there were some fine people on both sides of the question of keeping Confederate statues,” law professor and blogger (and Obama voter) Ann Althouse wrote in a post headlined “Biden’s announcement video is anchored in a demonstrable lie.” (Emphasis Althouse.)

When even an Obama defender (Althouse) acknowledges that Trump didn't utter a racist statement about Charlottesville, then the case is closed.

I just laugh when someone calls me a racist. They don’t know what to do when I do that. They walk away confused. It’s hysterical.
