Noted rapist and warmonger Donald Trump lies to everyone.
For his entire life, he has lied. To list his lies would be to write his biography because it is merely a series of lies, from his personal relationships to his business deals to his contracts with others to his image on his stupid TV show to his campaigns for president to his press conferences to his dealings with other countries. Every single thing is a lie. He lies so much he can’t keep track of what he lied about and when someone says he said one thing but now says another, he waves it off and tells a third lie and just plows ahead, ready to lie again.
That’s how he discusses the war in Iran, declaring victory, declaring that the rest of the world needs to open up the Strait of Hormuz, sending more troops, declaring victory again, saying that Iran is 100% contained militarily, and threatening an invasion before declaring victory one more time.
You can’t trust a word out of his lying mouth, so attempting to extract meaning from his statements or his droppings on Truth Toilet or, anything, really, is a fool’s game, like trying to get a 2-year-old to tell you how the cat ended up in the washing machine. You know goddam well what happened, but that little shit is never gonna admit it. That’s because there is no meaning beyond whatever makes Trump look the best, the strongest, and the most right in any given moment. Or makes him money, one of those constants in his cursed life.
It’s some insidious stuff, and it’s a huge story that the media covers generally only as fact checks and not as “How do we operate as a country when you can’t trust the president to be honest about anything?”
For instance, it’s an article of MAGA faith that President Joe Biden left behind a decimated ruin of a country that Trump had to fix like a Servpro guy taking care of a flooded basement. Trump loves shitting on Biden as much as possible. If he’s in front of a mic, at some point, he’s gonna drop his pants and take a shit on Joe Biden’s photo. On Friday, in remarks to . . . well, to some group of MAGAts . . . who really cares? . .. he said, “Biden and his allies wrecked our country. They wreaked havoc on our economy” and then called him “Sleepy Joe” and “stupid.” On the same say, talking a farmers’ group, he said, “For four disastrous years before I took office, Sleepy Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress crushed America’s farmers with the worst inflation in the history of our country.” And, again, same day, Trump said to reporters, unprompted, “the Biden open border” allowed criminals in. The day before, at one of his weekly testicle tongue baths from his cabinet, Trump said that Iran “had free rein under Biden, Sleepy Joe, worst president in the history of our country, what he allowed it to happen to our country at the borders and even with a thing like this.”
But the thing is, as anyone who was even a little cognizant of what was actually happening way, way back in 2024, Biden didn’t wreck the country. There are many things to criticize Biden on, but when he left office, by every objective measure, the economy and much else domestically was in pretty goddamn great shape. I hate to repeat myself, but, come on, The Economist declared the American economy under Biden “the envy of the world” in that we recovered better, faster, and more strongly than anyone else post-pandemic. The inflation rate, which had gone up to 9% in 2022 due to high demand for goods after Covid (which is basic finance stuff), along with supply chain issues and other forces, was pretty much the same as it is now by mid-2024. The Inflation Reduction Act had worked its magic; job creation was still going well, even if it had slowed after the incredible highs in 2022; the unemployment rate was lower than it is now, and the CHIPS Act was creating more tech opportunities in the US. Farmers got a bailout and tons of support. There’s so much more, like the subsidies to help people pay for Affordable Care Act policies. I mean, this isn’t some fantasy. It’s what was really going on. Oh, and Biden didn’t have an “open borders” policy. But the pent up demand to get into the US after the pandemic sent the numbers up on people coming into the country, something else that was under control by the time Biden lost the election.
So – let’s say it again: IF TRUMP’S LIPS ARE MOVING, HE IS LYING.
For his entire life, he has lied. To list his lies would be to write his biography because it is merely a series of lies, from his personal relationships to his business deals to his contracts with others to his image on his stupid TV show to his campaigns for president to his press conferences to his dealings with other countries. Every single thing is a lie. He lies so much he can’t keep track of what he lied about and when someone says he said one thing but now says another, he waves it off and tells a third lie and just plows ahead, ready to lie again.
