Does that mean it is ok now for Trump to lie? If Obama was called out for lying, shouldn't Trump be called out too?
And if Obama was a big liar, should Trump lead by example, and tell the truth?
And in your eyes, has Trump ever lied? Honest question. If so, which lie did he tell and in your opinion, was it bad, or was it justified? If justified, why?
Just asking...

My answer to that is Trump exaggerates all the time. I do it too. So do you.
Has Trump "lied" about anything that impacted our lives? Nope.
Does he overblow shit when he talks about it? It's always "The Best" and "The Greatest", etc. Yes, yes he does.
So what?
When Pres. Clinton and Pres. Bush both said that Iraq had nukes...they were LYING. And it impacted all of our lives as well as caused a lot of death and destruction in the Middle East.
When Pres. Obama claimed that the Benghazi attack was NOT a "Terrorist" attack but was caused by a YouTube video...he was LYING. People died.
When Pres. Obama went on national television and lied about "keeping your doctor" and "insurance rates will go DOWN by $2,500 per family"...that impacted people's lives.
Trump "lying" and saying that he had the biggest inauguration and that everything he does is the "best" is NOT consequential to people's lives.
What IS consequential is the Economy BOOMING since the day he was elected.
What IS consequential is actually sitting down with our enemies (like Pres. Obama promised but never delivered on) and working toward denuclearization of Korea.
What IS consequential is the lowest Black, Hispanic, and Asian unemployment numbers in history.
No Mark... you can keep calling these "honest questions"...but you already know everything I just said, so you are instead trying to frame things in a manner that fits a narrative.
Trump being a blowhard and narcissistic is not comparable to the LIES that ALL politicians have been telling us for decades while they invade and kill people worldwide and fuck the citizens over.
On the border wall...I have always been against it.
Having said that...when you have the actual border agents appear with the President a few days ago in the Rose Garden and flat out say that they NEED a wall, you have to take their word on that.
They are the ones actually doing the work.
And then for Pelosi and Shumer to call it all a "lie" and CNN to follow them like puppy dogs and spout that same disinformation is a disgrace.
How the fuck can Pelosi and Shumer and Anderson Cooper know better than the actual BORDER PATROL???
Here's the answer: Because they are elitists and think they are smarter than everyone else.
