[Business Insider] Trump's constant lying has finally caught up with him
yahoo ^ | October 6, 2020 | Anthony L. Fisher

Posted on 10/08/2020 9:18:12 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

Trump is a fount of conspiracy theories, disinformation, and childish fantasizing, and his White House is filled with bumbling sycophants who can't keep their stories straight.

Trump desperately wants us to believe his rosy projections for a complete and imminent COVID recovery. But Americans, rightfully, don't think he or his White House can be trusted.

The details of the Commander-in-Chief being laid low by a dreaded disease mere weeks before an election are crucial information in the public interest. The president and his deputies work for the people. They owe us the truth.

Even if Trump's people weren't the Keystone Kops of public messaging, it'd be hard to trust anything they say on behalf of the president.

It took a long time, almost a full term in office, but Trump has finally reached the point where his lifelong practice of unapologetic lying has caught up with him.

Trump would really like us to believe him when he tells us, "Don't be afraid of Covid!" (as he tweeted Monday).

But we'd be fools to believe anything he says.

It's not just life-and-death stuff Trump will lie about, he'll just easily lie about completely trivial matters, like easily disprovable claims about the crowd sizes at his rallies. And he'll unapologetically push nonsense conspiracy theories, falsehoods that a lot of his followers nonetheless passionately believe.

Trump's shameless, relentless, blabbering of falsehoods always mattered. And on a mass scale, his lies have made us far less trustful in our institutions and of each other.

With a president like Trump — for whom lying is at times deliberate, while at others is merely reflexive — we can't put faith in anything.

Trump desperately wants us to believe his rosy projections for a complete and imminent COVID recovery. But nobody believes a word he says.

Biased much?

No word about the lies Kamala Harris sprouted in the debate last night.

Pence masterfully rebutted as many as he could, but an easily uttered five-second lie may require a longer rebuttal, and the moderator worked hard to deny Pence the chance to correct the record. The following are just some truths to rebut Kamala’s many lies:

Trump never called the Wuhan virus a “hoax.”

Trump never called American troops “losers” and “suckers.”

It’s a lie that Trump praised white supremacists at Charlottesville. He’s repeatedly denounced white supremacy, including at the last debate. If Kamala’s looking for a racist, she should look at Biden.

There was no serious evidence of a Russian bounty on U.S. troops.

Trump did not call Mexicans “rapists.”

There was no “Muslim ban.” Instead, Trump relied on information the Obama administration created about terrorist nations and banned those nations pending greater security measures.

Biden’s response to H1N1 was a disaster, and the U.S. was saved only by luck.

On the virus, Trump acted fast, saved lives by stopping travel from China (over Biden’s objections), made America’s outdated test system functional, earned praise from beleaguered Democrat governors, used the Defense Production Act to provide everything medical teams needed, and killed pointless regulations blocking the development of treatments and vaccinations.

Just goes to show that “business insiders” really are not on our side. They need to pay more taxes if this is the way they are going to be!

Far left effeminate propagandist masquerading as a “journalist”

Bio has nothing but the usual left wing cast of characters. So bold but won’t appear on anything like Tucker where his BS would actually be challenged

Then there’s this

I’m on Twitter @anthonyLfisher, sometimes my tweets are good but not always.

Yeah, I bet. The bad ones are likely full of misinformation, like this article. Talk about “lying” white boi

I don’t see why Democrats are upset.
Biden is up by 21 points all over the country.
They should be celebrating. (6’ apart and masked of course)
Trump will win, and then the Governors will implement another shutdown for the insolence of their constituents.
