Has America become numb to the lies of this POTUS?

[Astrostar]

Indeed, Trump divines his own truth seemingly without consequences. And Americans have become largely indifferent to the daily barrage of lies and scandals. Sad

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump has learned he can get away with anything.

While the President has always profited from creating his own reality, the impact of having a commander in chief who so frequently bends fact is only beginning to be understood.

Before Trump, the idea of having a President who habitually fails to tell the truth and survives would have been unthinkable. But it's becoming clear that Trump's tenure is not just a lesson in fractured presidential convention. It amounts to a unique challenge to the office of the presidency itself, to the institutions that underpin American democracy and the long-held idea that government can only function effectively if it has the trust of the governed.

The most shocking aspect of the President's latest flurry of untruths in recent days relating to events before the 2016 election is that they were not at all shocking to a nation numbed by his barrage of easily disprovable claims and statements.

Revelations that Trump dictated a doctor's report on his health before voters went to the polls and his ever-shifting story on a hush payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels might have been a debilitating blow to any normal politician.

In Trump's case, they were simply more of the same flurry of daily controversies that characterize his presidency. While his critics reacted with outrage, his supporters saw media fact checks as just more "fake news."​

Your question should really be addressed to two vastly different groups: Real patriotic Americans and then Trump Americans. Real Americans view Trump's continual, repeated and over the top ies as a blight on our country, while Trump Americans view them as truths. They doubt their messiah not one iota.

We know that the Moon Bats never gave a shit about the lies of Slick Willy, Crooked Hillary, John "Fucking" Kerry and that asshole Muslim Negro President, don't we?

Trump lies faster than we can fact check

By the time we have provided the correct information, Trump has already told two more lies

So Trump keeps you busy looking down rabbit holes while he goes the opposite way and does good things for the country. I've said this again and again and left nutters don't catch on.

When Kellyanne revealed the "alternative facts" initiative....that should have been a wakeup call for everyone.

God love her

Be honest: do you want Trump out of office because of his lies or his policy? If it's the latter, then his lies don't really matter much, you want him out anyway. If it's the former, then you'd have a problem with every single politician because they all lie, to some degree. Is Trump just the first to break some mystical lie threshold?

YES!
I agree with you that a lot of the objection to Trump is, at heart, a distaste for his policies. However, it doesn't make all the criticism invalid. He lies like a rug. No one can trust what he says and I just tune him out most of the time because what's the sense? Never forget what happened yesterday in Sweden, folks!

 

[DrLove]

This has been discussed endlessly - Yes, all politicians lie, but Trump beat the whoppers Obama told over a period of 8 years in his FIRST.

False equivalency, but yes .. I hate his lies and his policies.

So, he broke the mystical lie threshold. Got it.

Correct - But there is really nothing "mystical" about it.

They actually have become numb to the relentless MSM assault on him and his supporters.

You idiots have been crying wolf since the day after the election, so most people who disagree with you have tuned you out, and most of the people who do agree with you have become tired of the constant rhetoric and just can't keep up the repeating 2 minute hates scheduled by the MSM.

They actually have become numb to the relentless MSM assault on him and his supporters.
Yes, that too, as well as numb to Trump's babble.

What has he done - SERIOUSLY that is "good for the country"?

All politicians have lied, but non as frequently and blatently on a daily as this one, even over trivial matters like crowd sizes. People need to quit attempting to normalize it and recognize it for the aboration it is.

Lowered the corporate tax rate so American-based companies can more effectively compete on the world stage. Moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. Had a sizable hand in forcing North Korea to the negotiating table. Appointed Neil Gorsuch to the supreme court.

There's plenty of bad too, but there's some good.

 

[tigerred59]

When I think of the lie Obama told, "you can keep your health insurance" and Joe Wilson calling this man a fuckin liar on the senate floor, and Trump who I don't think has told a factual anything since taking the white house...and silence???? It makes me believe what I've always said, this country is racist, this country is full of shit and some white people need to burn for it. There is no words to explain the hell white people put this brother through while he was in the white house, no words and these white mf's need to own up to the fact, they were simply racist.

Some of us are less concerned about him talking like the blowhard we knew he was, and more concerned about what he can do policy-wise.

North Korea wasnt forced. They have long wanted a direct meeting with the POTUS. Trump gave them what they wanted. What did they give us?

I personally could give a rats fuck about this lying bitch and his lies...what pisses me the fuck off and what should piss everybody off, is that this SAME FUCKIN congress is the exact same congress that slaughtered Obama for a lie, who slaughtered Obama for his deficit spending, who slaughtered Obama with 8 years of Hillary hearings, spent 4 million tax dollars and got nothing to show for it, but whined about spending less than a gotdamn year on that lying corrupt whore Trump...that's the shit that should piss us all off.

I'll see your Gorsuch and 1.5 trillion added to the deficit (corporations and the top 2% were doing just fine thank you) and raise you this:
Opinion | They Were Bad. He May Be Worse.

In addition, the man is an international embarrassment who has lowered our standing and influence in the world.
