Trump's Fib Of Hilliaryesque Proportions
American Thinker ^ | 2/20/2016 | Rosslyn Smith

Posted on 02/20/2016 10:40:40 AM PST by conservativejoy

What is it about politicians and fibs that can easily be shown false?

On the campaign trail in 2008 Senator Barack Obama told black audiences stories about his parents' involvement in the civil rights protests of 1960s that were not even remotely true. Over the years, Hillary Clinton has made preposterous claims about everything from being named after the conqueror of Mt Everest to having been under sniper fire in Bosnia.

We all know Trump constantly proclaims he is the greatest at just about everything. Add eyesight to the list.

"Because I had a view - I have a window in my apartment that specifically was aimed at the World Trade Center, because of the beauty of the whole downtown Manhattan. And I watched as people jumped and I watched the second plane come in. ... I saw the second plane come in and I said, "Wow that's unbelievable".'

Trump's apartment, in the penthouse of iconic Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, is 4.1 miles away from where the twin towers once stood.

An object the size of a human body cannot be discerned by the human eye at that distance. Now maybe there is a telescope or pair of binoculars in Trump's penthouse. However, on that day Donald Trump was apparently not in the penthouse. At the time the Twin Towers were struck on the morning of September 11, 2001 Donald Trump was reported to be at a business meeting in downtown Chicago, Illinois, almost 800 miles from Manhattan.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Adrian D. Smith, a well-known architect in the Chicago office of Skidmore Owings & Merrill, was in a meeting with Donald Trump. The hyperbolic New York City developer was in Chicago to go over the design of a proposed Trump residential tower ...

Trump has convinced people that he is their Daddy... the best daddy in the whole world. He will make everything right and will also give you a pony.

Wait...

... what kind of pony?

The crap in IA and his constant lies.

Lie of omission;

“Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.”

Example of Ted’s lies of omission, seven lies and misrepresentations in under three minutes. That is walking the talk “the most principled conservative I the race”???

Lie 1 - Pro-abortion and supporting partial birth abortion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=197

Lie 2 - Trump is calling for the same socialized medicine as Sanders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=216

Lie 3 - pushed partial birth abortion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=239

Lie 4 - Even as a candidate Donald says we need to have full on socialized medicine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=298

Lie 5 - at the debates he said we ought to have socialized medicine like Canada and Scotland.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=302

Lie 6 - If you as a republican don’t support socalized medicine you are heartless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=312

Lie 7 - If you want to see Bernie sanders style of socialized medicine Trump is your guy

I have not heard TRUMP speak to KELO.

Now, meanwhile back at the ranch, on spelling “CRONY CAPITALISM”.

“Ask Ted, and rub your hands together at the ballot.”

Yeah, how many people who were over the age of five don’t remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when the towers were hit? Trump lies with impunity because his supporters don’t care whether he tells the truth or not, as some on this thread have stated.

I don’t trust my right to bear arms to a liberal Democrat and that means Trump or Bernie, or Hillary. Trump is as untruthful as Hillary and matches Bernie on policy. What nightmare.

Talk about being lost, Trump would have to come up with a few new slogans. I sincerely doubt he has ever read the Constitution.

How do you defend a calculated lie like this? Trump has to remember clearly what he was doing when 9/11 happened, yet he fabricated a story that he thought would sound good to voters, not a word of which is true. That kind of lying indicates the actions of a serial liar.

Now irrefutable evidence on video and audio has been produced to prove that he was also lying about his opposition to the Iraq war. He is as disgraceful as Hillary.

That was some telescope. It is documented that Trump was in Chicago in meetings on a new construction there. He and others were called to the t.v. when the attack occurred.

Flight plans for Trump 1 - and passenger manifests - would clear this up. Cruz should threaten to sue, see how DT likes it.

This has got to be the biggest nit-picking on the planet. You people must hang on every word Trump says, no matter how apolitical, trying to twist it and make it a lie.

If you lived in NY City, and had access to a high enough vantage point to directly observe was happening, what would you, or anyone have done on 9-11? After hearing about what was going on at the WTC, you would have gotten out binoculars or telescope if you had them (and it is also entirely believable Mr. Trump would have both, given his NYC spectacular city scapes) and watch what was happening.

This thread is beyond idiotic! There are sounds reasons to prefer/elect other candidates of course, that is what the primary elections are for.

Adrian Smith’s political contributions...

$900 to Rod Blagojevich (D) 3/15/96
$1000 to Tom Harkin (D) 4/21/89

Employer shown as Skidmore, Owens, and Merrill

This Trump accuser is a RAT. Why am I not surprised?

I was sitting in my living room reading a book when my mom phoned. All she said was “Turn on your TV” and hung up. I dreaded switching it on.

Trumpie knows no limits in his fibbery.

He certainly could not have seen a person jump from the floor of the WTC from his apartment.

That can be proven mathematically. No human eye has such fine resolving power. He would have to have about eight times as many rods and cones in his retinas as he has.

He who believes Trump will believe almost anything.

You are beyond idiotic.

Could you hold 60 power binoculars in your hands and see anything? (they don’t exist anyway)

Trump is full of shit, always.
