Untruth Social

Dishonesty is the defining characteristics of Trump and his administration, and lies are a daily occurrence. While there are far too many lies to track, I thought a thread dedicated to the worst and most notable lies would be useful. There’s a lot of material to choose from.

(I could have tapped into a rich vein of lies simply by linking to Trump’s Truth Social account — hence the OP title.)

  1. colewd, to Allan:

    With real arguments avoiding “lazy labels” you can avoid the pseudo claims you are continually making.

    Physician, heal thyself. You’re constantly using lazy labels, including in that very sentence: “pseudo claims” is a lazy label because you haven’t backed it up and you won’t. It’s a substitute for an actual argument that you are too lazy (or scared) to put forward.

    Here’s a test for you: If Allan is “continually” making “pseudo claims”, then there must be plenty of examples to choose from. What are the last three you’ve seen him make? Tell us and show that they’re false. Are you feeling the urge to run away right now?

    By the way, “pseudo” doesn’t mean what you think it means. A “pseudo claim” isn’t a false claim; it’s a claim that isn’t really a claim but is only masquerading as one. I’ve added it to your homework list:

    oxymoron
    badger
    border
    boarder
    burden of proof
    ad hominem
    spoiler alert
    independent voter
    objective
    candidate
    vague statistic
    pseudo

    Trump hater: He lies 30000 times by the Washington posts calculations. Trump supporter: You are suffering from TDS if you believe this nonsense.

    Do you think discussions like this move the ball forward?

    Do you think it doesn’t matter whether a president tells the truth? Would you have said that during the Clinton, Obama or Biden presidencies? Should I add ‘hypocrisy’ to your homework list?

    Lets. start with what the policies are on each side of the political spectrum and see what makes sense and what does not.

    You mean you’d like to continue our discussion of the OBBBA and why you support it? You didn’t seem so keen on that in the other thread. Aren’t you really just trying to change the subject away from your Dear Leader’s pathological lying?
