First, a lot of the "lies" Trump tells are exaggerated and sloppy statements, such as "We don't know who they are or where they come from" about refugees. We do know who the vast majority of them are and where they come from, through an exhaustive vetting process. He probably knows about the processes in place; he is exaggerating the number that may be entering without any proof of identity. Like swearing up and down that 'thousands' of Muslims in New Jersey were cheering the fall of the Twin Towers. Thousands were celebrating in the Middle East--he just kind of conflated where those people were. So there's a kernel of truth in his statements--and the first time he said it, he may well have believed it. The thing about Trump is, he can't admit a mistake, so when he does these things he has to keep defending himself, in light of evidence to the contrary. I don't call those statements "Lies" as in coldly and deliberately deciding to tell falsehoods to voters in order to get elected. I don't think he's doing that. That is much more Hillary's thing.Yes...he's genuinely dishonest. How do you reconcile "he is more genuine" with the fact that he demonstrably lies more than any other candidate? Isn't being honest a requisite for "being genuine"?I think a lot of people can see that Hillary is two faced. It's not that inaccurate statements come out of her mouth as much as that they can't trust who she is. When the camera is off, there is no audience, Hillary is not the person she pretends to be. There's a difference between that and inaccurate statements, and it is fundamentally untrustworthy. Trump is more genuine. He may be telling a bunch of absolute falsehoods up there, but he is definitely being who he is. Hence all the screaming about his many, many statements...
BTW, I can't stand Trump. I just see his "lies" as somewhat different from the walking talking breathing lie that is Hillary Clinton.
Do we know which ones of them have ties to radical muslim organizations that want YOU dead?
I do not understand why you libs empathize with people who want to kill you and your families. Can you explain that?
