Lyin' Donald: 101 Of Trump's Greatest Lies
The Daily News Wire ^ | 4/11/2016 | Hank Berrien

Posted on 04/11/2016 6:32:18 PM PDT by writer33

Donald Trump has repeatedly labeled his political opponents liars. He dubbed Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) Lyin' Ted when it became clear that Cruz was a serious rival for his nomination; he called Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) an "even bigger liar" than Cruz. He dubbed Dr. Ben Carson a "pathological liar" and said former Florida Governor Jeb Bush's lies were almost as bad as Cruz's. Trump has termed virtually every mildly adversarial media member a liar, too.

But there's only one truly massive liar in this race: Donald Trump. When Politico attempted to measure how many lies Trump told over the course of 4.6 hours of speeches, they found that he lied, on average, once every five minutes. When Huffington Post catalogued his lies over the course of just one town hall event, they came up with 71 lies.

Here are the first five. Read more to see all 101:

1. March 30: Trump claims MSNBC edited their released version of his interview with Chris Matthews in which Trump stumbled on abortion: “You really ought to hear the whole thing. I mean, this is a long convoluted question. This was a long discussion, and they just cut it out. And, frankly, it was extremely — it was really convoluted.” Nope; that was a lie.

2. March 29: Trump lies that Wisconsin’s effective unemployment rate is 20%, saying, ""What? Is it 20 percent? Effective or regular? I mean just -- effective unemployment rate, 20 percent. Hey, this is out of the big book." According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, The U-3 official unemployment rate in Wisconsin was 4.6 percent in 2015; Wisconsin’s U-6 rate for 2015 was 8.3 percent.

3. March 29: Told Sean Hannity, “You know, I look at what’s happening in Wisconsin with the numbers, the job numbers, the trade numbers, how it’s a stagnant economy, how they owe $2.2 billion in terms of their budget.” As Factcheck.org reported, Wisconsin’s general fund is currently projected to have a positive balance when its current two-year budget cycle ends next year, according to an analysis by nonpartisan budget experts.

4. March 29: Trump alleged that when Michelle Fields "found out that there was a security camera, and that they had her on tape, all of a sudden that story changed." Absolutely untrue.

5. March 29: Trump said the Secret Service was worried about Fields, alleging, "She went through the Secret Service, she had a pen in her hand, which Service Service is not liking because they don't know what it is, whether it's a little bomb…” As Katie Pavlich of Townhall noted, “All reporters at campaign events, like regular attendees, go through Secret Service security before being allowed into a venue. The security is thorough, with a back check, wanding and a metal detector walk through. Fields wasn't carrying a knife, she was carrying a pen and if the Secret Service thought it was dangerous, they would have taken it from her at the security checkpoint before entering the room.”

Nothing can or ever will “trump” a grown adult man who is a lawyer (bottom feeders) claiming he didn’t know until right before signing up to run for POTUS that he was Canadian. Not even Hellary could “trump” that lie. Hellary signed her name to Senate Resolution 511 stating that POTUS NBC requires born on US soil to two US parents. Guaranteed she will play the NBC card and tie the entire election up for years if Cruz gets the nomination. A vote for Cruz is a vote for Her Royal Hiney.

Seriously? The world does not revolve around this narrative. I tire of these charges. Trump and Cruz are like LBJ and Kennedy. You can decide which is which but it is time to just face the facts and stop already.

At least he is telling the truth when it comes the naturally wind-blown hair he keeps hidden under a red baseball cap.

Nope.

That's not even a complete list. Trump's dishonesty is so awe-inspiringly pervasive that it would be nearly impossible to catalogue those lies in comprehensive fashion. But be assured: if Trump's talking, there's a solid shot he's not telling the truth.

It is clear that Donny the Democrat Donor is no longer in charge of his campaign.

So who knows who owns this shipwreck.

Certainly not the Tea-Party or any normal conservatives.

Jedi.

Probably and I don’t know if my fragile ego can handle it all. :-)

But this kind of stuff needs to be seen.
