Blizzard of Lies Updated: Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims in 558 days


Trump's lie count is skyrocketing. Over the last two months the man has tallied 978 lies.

That's 7.6 lies per day and a leap of 2.7 lies per day over the 4.9 lies per day he told his first 100 days in office.

Some lowlights:

* New daily high when he lied 79 times in one day on July 5th!!!
* June, July rank 1st and 2nd when ranking most lies told in a month
* One third of his lies totaling 1,293 relate to economic issues, trade deals, or jobs
* Immigration top single subject, 538 lies, biggest repeated fib; border wall is being built (it hasn't even been funded)
* 432 lies on trade. Often cites wrong numbers or misleading arguments that demonstrate he really doesn't understand the subject.
* 378 lies about Russia probe
* 336 lies about taxes, commonly claiming biggest tax cut in US history
* 60 times lied about NATO claiming US pays up to 90 percent of the alliance’s costs

It wouldn't be hyperbole to call the president of the United States a mountain of bullshit.

I, and anyone who can rightly be deemed a "sane" person, consider this disgusting behavior by our President to be indefensible. But I'm looking forward to see if any Trumpholes jump in here and what cockamamie rebuttals they might come up with!

It really is.

The worst part is how poorly it reflects on us as a country to have elected such a shameless liar to represent us. This is someone who no world leader can take at face value ... except maybe Putin. Since of course he'd never dare lie to his handler.

It's just so embarrassing.😳

I must ask the same question I ask all the time - can you imagine of this was Hillary Clinton behaving like this in the Oval Office? Rethuglikkkans would be in an uproar. They would be demanding her resignation.

The thing is, I can't imagine ANYONE telling as many lies--constantly, consistently, shamelessly--as Donald Trump does. Not even another Republican president. I think if Nixon, Reagan, and Bush I and II were all combined into one super Republitard hybrid, that person STILL would not approach Trump's level of mendacity.

"Fake News! Fake News! Tra-la-la-la-la, Hillary's emails, Hussain Obama, demokkkrat hate! I don't read cause I'm too busy workin' and payin' taxes! I don't listen to big news media, only fux news the #1 media outlet. Drain the swamp, collusion is not a crime, our founding fathers loved nepotism!!"

Drumpf supporters are on another planet.
