10 Trump Fails and Lies from Just This Week

10 Trump Fails and Lies from Just This Week

Every post-election week with Donald Trump feels like an eternity. The details change but the story stays the same: Trump whines, lies and pleads for attention, scrambling facts, fiction and conspiracy into a fatiguing, but now familiar blend. Last week followed the same formula, with Trump pretending not to know what he knows and to be an expert in everything he doesn’t know, all while waging petty wars using time that could be spent boning up on policy. He ended the week with an intelligence briefing (we’ve sunk so low, PEOTUS doing his job qualifies as news), but it did little to markedly shift the tone. And in that tone is the message, "We are so screwed."

So we don’t forget, here’s a look back at just 10 of Trump’s most recent lies and fails....

1. Calling for an investigation of NBC instead of the Russian hacks....
2. Making personal calls instead of doing his friggin’ job....
3. Accepting Julian Assange’s word over 17 intelligence agencies....
4. Admitting he duped his no-nothing voter base on the border wall, then lying again....
5. Lying about having a hand in every job-saving deal....
6. But refusing to take credit for job losses....
7. Calling Democratic senator Chuck Shumer a 'clown,' then saying we need to unite 9 minutes later...
8. Throwing Obama’s political ambassadors and their families out on short notice....
9. Scheduling a news conference to distract from his appointee hearings....
10. Still publicly smarting about being dissed by all the cool-kid pop stars for his little inauguration thing.

Liar-in-Chief Trump. The RW can continue to live in a vacuum but this does not mean the rest of us will. I like your post but you may find you need to post everyday on his lies in order to keep up with the lies. His make America Great will not happen through his lies.

you can expect more of the same. Bannon is the Lee Attwater of the 21st century. We are dealing with a Reality TV Actor,and everything is his Image and his moves and comments are all scripted and rehearsed to fit that Image. It's Showtime.

Its not as if he has any foreign policy ideas himself. Other than to make threats randomly.

Is Putin setting up some moves?

drumph the unwitting puppet.
