Daniel Dale works as a FACT CHECKER. He says "trying to pick the most notable lies
from Donald Trump's presidency is like trying to pick the most notable pieces of junk
from the town dump....there's just so much ugly garbage to sift through."
Nevertheless, for brevity, he tried to single out the top trump LIES based on their
importance, egregiousness, absurdity, and for what they say about the LOSER who
is now the only president to be impeached twice.

The 15 most notable lies of Trump's FAILED presidency
• 1/ The most telling lie: "It didn't rain" on his inauguration
Of course it did.
This was the first lie of Trump's presidency. Like his lies that same week about his
inauguration crowd size, it hinted at what would come next.
• 2/ The most dangerous lie: The coronavirus was under control
This was more like a family of lies than a single lie. But each one -- the lie that the
virus was equivalent to the flu; the lie that the situation was "totally under control";
the lie that the virus was "disappearing" -- suggested to Americans that they didn't
have to change much about their usual behavior.
Eleven months into the crisis, almost 400,000 Americans have died from trump's negligence.
more to follow...
Fucked up beyond all recognition with a maine accent... huh....
Just because your side won and nothing will be done again... how you going to spin democrats good republicans bad argument...
Oh I can't wait to see that party implode no adversary no way to blame anyone but your leadership and somehow you going to spin it it it was trumps fault that you all can't ever stay on the same page.
Example Sierra club won their law suit against the Democratic governor of maine with Obama appointed judge ruling in the appeal..
Spin that sweet heart.

The 15 most notable lies of Donald Trump's FAILED presidency
• 3/ The most alarming lie: Sharpie-gate
trump displayed a hurricane map that was crudely altered with *HIS* Sharpie.
White House officials not leaped into action behind the scenes and tried to pressure
federal weather experts into saying he was right and they were wrong. This laughable
but sad saga proved that Trump was not some lone liar: he was backed by an entire
powerful apparatus willing to defraud the American public for his fabrications.
• 4/ The most ridiculous subject of a lie: The Boy Scouts
In 2017 Trump claimed that "the head of the Boy Scouts" had phoned him to say
that his bizarrely political address to the Scouts' National Jamboree was
"the greatest speech that was ever made to them."
But the Boy Scouts confirmed that no such call ever happened.

• 5/ The ugliest smear-LIE: Rep. Ilhan Omar supports al Qaeda
At a White House event in 2019, Trump *GROSSLY DISTORTED* a 2013 quote
from Rep. Ilhan Omar to try to get his supporters to believe that the Minnesota
Democrat had expressed support for the terrorist group al Qaeda.
• 6/ The most boring serial lie: The trade deficit with China used to be $500 billion
Trump, an incorrigible exaggerator, rarely chose to use an accurate number when
he could instead use an inaccurate bigger number.
So he said well over 100 times that, before his presidency, the US for years had a
$500 billion annual trade deficit with China -- though the actual pre-Trump deficit
never even reached $389 billion.

• 7/ The most entertaining lie: The burly crying men who had never cried before
According to the President, they kept walking up to him crying tears of gratitude
The stories were oddly grandiose, like something you'd hear from a two-bit foreign
strongman. They were also pure shtick. Trump was like a touring stand-up comic,
refining and re-using his favored dishonesty bits until they stopped working for him.
• 8/ The most traditional big lie: He didn't know about the payment to Stormy Daniels
Yes, Trump knew, because he had personally reimbursed Cohen -- and he was lying
to try to get himself out of a tawdry scandal.

• 9/ The biggest lie by omission: Trump ended family separation at the border
"You know, under President Obama you had separation. I was the one that ended it."
Totally false.
• 10/ The most shameless lie: Biden will destroy protections for pre-existing conditions
Trump's re-election campaign was consistently and consciously dishonest, especially in
its attempts to cast Joe Biden as a frightening radical. When Trump claimed in September
that Biden would destroy protections for people with pre-existing health conditions --
though the Obama-Biden administration created the protections, though the protections
were overwhelmingly popular, though Biden was running on preserving them, and though
Trump himself had tried repeatedly to weaken them -- Trump was not merely lying
but turning reality upside down.

• 11/ The lie he ran from: He got Veterans Choice
Trump could have told a perfectly good factual story about the Veterans Choice
health care program Obama signed into law in 2014: but it wasn't good enough,
so he replaced it with a more expansive program he signed into law in 2018.
Whether out of policy ignorance, a desire to erase Obama's legacy, or simply because
he is a liar, trump claimed over 160 times that *HE* is the one who got the
Veterans Choice program passed after other presidents tried and failed for years.
And why not stretch? He knew he probably wouldn't be challenged by a press corps
drowning in other Trump drama.
It wasn't until August 2020 that he was asked about the lie to his face.
He promptly left the room.

• 12/ The Crazy Uncle lie award: Windmill noise causes cancer
For such a fierce critic of the media's use of anonymous sources, Trump sure liked
to use a lot of unnamed sources himself. His stories were full of nonsense he
attributed to "people" or that he claimed "they" say. One of the most bonkers
"they say" items: his 2019 declaration that "they say" the noise from windmills
"causes cancer."
After Trump amplified another conspiracy lie in 2020, NBC's Savannah Guthrie
admonished him by saying that "you're not, like, someone's crazy uncle who
can just retweet whatever."
Except he was,
until Twitter took down his account.
“We’re going to win so much that you’re going to be sick and tired.
You’re going to say, ‘Please, please, Mr. President, we’re sick and
tired of winning. Please let us have at least one loss. It’s no longer
exciting to win.’ And I’m going to say, ‘No way, we’re going to keep
winning, and I don’t care if you like it or not.’”

winning ?? lol

Apparently to the right-wingnuts,
LOSING the HOUSE
LOSING the Senate
LOSING the WhiteHouse
and being run out of town with the lowest approval of any before, ever,
is supposedly what they call "winning"

• 15/ The most depressing lie: Trump won the election
Trump's long White House campaign against verifiable reality has culminated with
his lie that he is the true winner of the 2020 presidential election he clearly,
certifiably and fairly lost.
To many of us, it's ludicrous nonsense.
But to millions of deluded Americans, it's the truth.
And that LIE has now gotten people killed.
The nation's truth problem, clearly, isn't just a Trump problem.
With this last blizzard of deception and the Capitol insurrection it fomented, Trump
has shown us, once more, just how detached from reality much of his political base
has become -- or always was.
donald "adolf" trump has just achieved a dubious distinction
- officially got his fascist ass IMPEACHED twice!
He will now go down in U.S. history
as the WORST president of all time.
