Last Monday, Donald Trump trumped up his wall rhetoric by stating that Enrique Peña Nieto, the Mexican president, had called him to compliment Trump about lowering undocumented immigration on Mexico’s southern border. The only problem is that Donald Trump lied. The Mexican government issued a statement on Monday denying that the Mexican president had called Donald Trump. The Mexican statement states that there has not been “any recent telephone communications” with Donald Trump.
In other words, Donald Trump had lied about the call.
I realize some of you might be inclined to believe Donald Trump over the Mexican president as such is the narrative that some of you would rather believe. But, unfortunately for the Trumpistas among us, the facts prove that Donald Trump is a liar.
On Monday, Donald Trump wasn’t through lying. He falsely stated that the Boy Scouts of America called him to congratulate him about the “greatest speech” that was ever made to the Scouts. Trouble is that the Boy Scouts of America have not only denied that call, but have also condemned the partisan nature of the Trump speech to their organization.
In one day, Donald Trump was caught outright lying about two different things.
These are not miscommunications nor misinterpretations but outright lies.
It is not the first time that Donald Trump has been caught lying. As a matter of fact, lying for Donald Trump has been his modus operandi for many years.
In the 1980’s, the Trump Organization made John Barron (no, not his underage son) available to news reporters for telephone interviews. John Barron was routinely quoted by news reporters reporting on Donald Trump businesses and personal life.
The thing about John Barron is that he does not exist. John Barron was Donald Trump pretending to be someone else on the telephone. Trump would have continued to use the pseudonym had it not been for a lawsuit in 1990. Trump may well also have denied he ever pretended to be Barron were it not for some Polish immigrants who wanted to their paychecks from Donald Trump for the work they had done for him. In a deposition for the lawsuit, Donald Trump was asked if he had ever pretended to by John Barron. Trump responded, under oath, that “on occasion” he “used that name.”
In other words, he lied.
Because Trump is a lair and his John Barron persona had been burnt, he decided to create another one. Once a liar, always a liar, you see. This time, Donald Trump created John Miller as his new alter ego. Miller aka Trump answered questions about his relationship problems with Marla Maples. Miller aka Trump pretended to be Trump’s “publicist”.
The reporter soon realized that the publicist was non-other than Donald Trump himself. Sue Carswell, a reporter for People Magazine, took her recording of the interview and played it to other reporters who agreed that Miller was Trump. Even Marla Maples confirmed that Miller was Donald Trump.
As a private businessman, caveat emptor, or buyer be aware, is part of private entities doing business together. But as a public official, Donald Trump’s penchant for lying is dangerous to the country and to the world.
Think about it this way, what do you think Kim Jong-un’s first thought is when Donald Trump demands that North Korea stop sending missiles towards the United States? If you thought “oh, I better stop before he blows my country off the map,” you better think again. Kim Jong-un’s first thought is to ask, is Donald Trump lying again.
Hence, the missiles continue to be tested and the nuclear weapons research continues.
And, Donald Trump continues to lie. Are you embarrassed yet, Donald Trump voters?
MArtin
Really you want to hold up Enrique Peña Nieto as some kind of ethical and moral individual who would never lie? Really!
Just his proven connection to the cartels in Mexico and their thriving under his tenure as President should precluding any thing he says as being true. Hell Martin even the Mexican people are fed up with Enrique Peña Nieto.
Under Enrique Peña Nieto the suspicious release of key cartel leaders under the claims it improves security should be the dead knock off that supports the claims he got the presidency of Mexico by his collusion with the thug leadership of the Mexican cartels.
Martin Enrique Peña Nieto. has a far worse approval rating with the Mexican people ,17%, than Trump has with the American people. 74% of the Mexican people believe Enrique Peña Nieto is doing a very bad job for his country.
Martin more than 29% of Enrique Peña Nieto law degree thesis has been proven to be plagiarized.
Enrique Peña Nieto gaffes with the press are legendary in Mexico media circles he makes Trump look like a genius.
And let us point out some high profile incidents under Nieto watch.
The escape of drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman ,federal police executing at least 22 suspected drug cartel members without justification, forcing Peña Nieto to dismiss the country’s chief of the federal police force.
The abduction of 43 teachers college students in Guerrero state in 2014. Activists claim local police cooperated with drug cartels to stage the students’ disappearance and murder them as part of a politically motivated plot. Enrique Peña Nieto was pretty much aloof with this crises but it couldn’t be his deep connection with the Mexican cartels could it! And this is only the tip of the Iceberg with the level of corruption that has came with the Presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto.
Really you want to hold Enrique Peña Nieto as a man of truth and who people should look up to and believe any thing he says? Get real!
Then again ones is force to wonder why you would even try to use a proven liar and dirt bag like Enrique Peña Nieto to tear down Trump and expect others to take you serious.
In addition this show your total lack of ability being able to sit in judgement of others characters much less Trump and be taken as credible!
El trompas is a serial liar. The excuses, the explanations, and/or blaming someone else of being a greater liar changes the fact that our monarch suffers from mythomania.
Correction to my previous comment.
El trompas is a serial liar. The excuses, the explanations, and/or blaming someone else of being a greater liar does not change the fact that our monarch suffers from mythomania.
Pati
Alright you want to play calling Trump a serial liar game along with Martin demanding a total fact based discussion which he does not do himself or demand out of others such as your self.
LET’S PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama
The steel industry is producing as much steel in the United States as it ever was. It’s just (that) it needs one-tenth of the workers that it used to.”
Liar!
Obama
“My position hasn’t changed” on using executive authority to address immigration issues.
Liar!
Obama
“Most young Americans right now, they’re not covered” by health insurance.
Iiar!
Obama
“We’ve got close to 7 million Americans who have access to health care for the first time because of Medicaid expansion.”
Liar! it was half the stated amount covered at the time.
Obama
The “most realistic estimates” for jobs created by Keystone XL are “maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline.”
Liar! Report from those in his own Administration said other wise along with other independent sources saying otherwise.
Obama
“We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas.”
Liar! Pati if this was even close to being true we should easily have cars getting 80 to 90 miles a gallon now!
Obama
“Over the last four years, the deficit has gone up, but 90 percent of that is as a consequence of” President George W. Bush’s policies and the recession.
Liar! this was a clear misrepresentation of the facts the debt at the end of Bush 2.0 tenure of an accumulation of many presidents and their policies!
Obama (Circa 2012)
“For the first time since 1990, American manufacturers are creating new jobs.”
Liar! A total fabrication and misrepresentation of the truth!
Obama (circa 2011)
“I made a bunch of these promises during the campaign. … We’ve got about 60 percent done in three years.”
Liar! not even close in 8 years!
Obama
Under President Barack Obama, the United States has “doubled our exports.”
Liar! This claim was made in 2011 and was a whole heaping helping of bovine fecal matter!
Obama
“We’ve excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs.”
Liar!
Obama
“The vast majority of the money I got was from small donors all across the country.”
Liar! His campaign was bankrolled by big time donor especially the second time around!
We could go on for pages showing the total dishonest in your post. Pati you yourself have became a serial liar when it comes to Trump!
The point being shown here by Martin and your standards Obama was a equal serial liar too! The truth is almost all elected officials regularly play loss and fast with the truth when trying to put themselves in a positive light before the American people rarely do we ever hear them say we screwed up or list their screw ups publicly!
Oh did we mention the Dow blow through 22,000 yesterday. ;O) It’s so terrible under Trump!
Thomas,
Lie Donald Trump you suffer from Whataboutism. It is a technique used by Soviets during the Cold War where the Soviet’s responded to criticism by “what about…”.
I have written numerous times that the Democrats are worse for immigrants and that Obama deported more immigrants before Donald Trump came into office. Hillary Clinton is corrupt.
However, the issue is Donald Trump. That is what my post is about.
Your use of the technique Whataboutism only proves my argument that Donald Trump is liar because you have yet to post proof that he is not.
-martin
Martin
Guess you can’t read we posted the lies by Obama but the point others and you do not want any one focus on is your dishonesty when it came to Trump. We just pointed out others like Pati and your glaring double standards of what you will except out of those you support and the levels you will stoop to to discredit those you do not support to include your fake outrage and the free passes you give with out any outrage! Just basic propaganda technics used in the most amateur forms by you straight out of the propagandist hand book!
Martin let’s cut to the chase you really did not want to get into a fact based discussion that blows your false narrative out of the water and clearly you have an issue with some one pointing out the truth.
Just to show how full of “Bovine Fecal Matter” your last post was on this thread you clearly missed this part of the post.
“The truth is almost all elected officials regularly play loss and fast with the truth when trying to put themselves in a positive light before the American people rarely do we ever hear them say we screwed up or list their screw ups publicly!”
Yep this was a statement which includes Trump! Please do show us in this statement where we were excluding Trump in any way. Once again we know the truth is hard for you to bear but we did not exclude Trump. Martin just one more example of your propensity for poor straw man constructs to try and discredit others who you disagree with.
Martin here is the most important thing for others and you in your camp if you want to change thing such as the, Oh gee, like the Presidency or say who hold the most power in Congress which really matters, how about getting off your lazy butts, field better candidates and get them elected. What a concept!
Lastly Martin as a foreign national, in a smaller sense of course, aren’t you trying to do the very same thing the Russians have been accused of,an attempting to sway elections, sowing and disseminate descent against the current administration. Yep Martin like it or not you are doing the very same thing,on a small scale as a foreign national, as Russians to undermine America and the duly elected! Then again you will run for the cover of freedom of speech,which is your right even as a foreign national but it doesn’t give you a free pass on your intent!
So obama lied, who cares. Hes not the president. Trump is and it is indisputable that he lies all the time. Even thomas didnt dispute the fact trump is a liar. The fact is thomas doesnt care if trump lies
theresa
You stated you do not care if Obama was a liar and Hillary was clearly a even worse liar and that is called been a hypocrite, having double standards and is the reason the left lost the election and continues to lose elections across America! Get your position as long as those you support are lying it’s just peachy and they get a free pass.
Yep never claimed at any point Trump was a saint or even the best but at least we have the ethical and moral capacity to admit as much where you on the other hand lack such capacity! Speaks volumes to your character! The fact is that you can’t deal with the fact and the truth almost all politicians lie and do so regularly.
We will even go further we are hoping Trump does end up leaving office so people like Martin, Pati and you get a real dose of reality and get Mike Pence who make Trump look like a flaming liberal. Yep believe you guys deserve about three years at the least of Pence!
We know some of you are delusional and believe your party can impeach their way back to the White House and power but the reality and the truth is, which you have a aversion to, it isn’t going to happen!
HE CAN LIE ALL HE WANTS AS LONG AS HE REVERSES ALL THE SOCIALISTIC BULLSHIT OBAMA PUT IN ALONG WITH SOME OF THE BULLSHIT BUSH HAD PUT IN ALSO. HE STOPPED THE WIRE TO THE PALESTINIANS OBAMA TRIED TO SLIDE THROUGH AT THE LAST MOMENT OF HIS TERM. HE IS ALSO NOT APOLOGIZING TO EVERYONE FOR EVERY LITTLE THING LIKE OBAMA. THATS WHY MOST WHO VOTED FOR HIM DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THESE LITTLE TWEETS AND LIES. COMPARING TRUMP TO PENA ? PENA IS STEALING LEFT AND RIGHT GOING OUT OF OFFICE JUST LIKE EVERY MEXICAN PRESIDENT OF THE PAST. IM JUST HOPING HE WONT HAVE SOMEONE KILLED LIKE SALINAS DID WHEN HE WAS PREZ OF MESSYCO.
GET OFF TRUMP GET ON ESCOBAR
Believe Martin understand that nothing he can post that will keep Vero from winning the seat in Congress. The El Paso Stupid ,El Paso Proud crowd will elect Vero even if there was proof she was carrying bags of tax dollars out of the County Court House every day and as side income selling their children into the sex trade industry in Mexico.
The again we believe as El Paso sends Vero off to Washington the City of El Paso should give her the Conquistador Award because just like the Spanish Conquistador Vero has pretty much raped,looted and pillaged the pockets of tax payers of El Paso and now she can do the same on a national level but of course at the same time she gets to feather her nest some more on the back of the tax payers along the way.
The sad part is Vero will most likely get her seat in Congress with 4% or less of the eligible voters votes in El Paso and El Paso County. As for Mr. Beto he will be back in El Paso looking for a job after the election. Then one has to to wonder if Beto realized he was falling on his own sword to give Vero a chance for a seat in Congress!
Thomas why do you think i should care that hillary lied? Are you assuming i supported her. And you she lost right? And as for obama he didnt lie and uf he did i dont care andvhave you heard, hes not the president anymore
