WHOOPS: Trump Gets Caught Lying Again, This Time About His Colonoscopy

I am going to come out and say what many in the main stream media refuse to do: Trump is a lying liar who lies his way out of every lie he gets caught in. He will have the words "world's biggest liar" on his tombstone. He lies so much, his nose grows more by the day (or maybe his gut, as shown by his "bigly" weight gain of late). Regardless, he lies. About everything. I would honestly be shocked if he chose to tell the truth for once.

What is today's lie? There are many to pick from, but I am choosing to talk about the one that involves him being full of sh*t. Because this one has to do with, you guessed it, a colonoscopy.

Just a quick recap - yesterday Trump went on Dr. Oz to reveal how amazingly healthy he was. During that taping, he presented Dr. Oz with a few sheets of paper. We have no idea what was on those, to be honest. It could have been the recipe to Trump's famous chile or maybe a map to a hidden treasure or maybe it was just blank pieces of paper with doodles on them. Who knows.

Based on personal experience, on "my day" I could have easily tweeted that series.

Scheduled for 3:30. Doctor running late so killing time at hospital until about 4:45-5:00. Prepped by 6 and sedated. Home by about 9 or so and yelling at my TV about their chitty election coverage by about 10:15-10:30. Tired cuz I didn't eat all day but alive and kicking.

Everyone's experience is different. Others might have been knocked out and loopy all day.

Trumps a complete and total liar. I'll be voting for HRC on any day that ends in a "y" and twice on Sunday if I'm visiting Chicago. On this one, however, my personal experience says this story doesn't make the cut. IMHO

Trump lies constantly, and there is plenty of real evidence of it. No need to try to manufacture "proof" like this. Maybe Trump had one that day, maybe he didn't, but the Twitter posts aren't any kind of evidence that he didn't. My guess is that the author of that article has not actually had a colonoscopy herself yet, as the article of full of inaccuracies and assumptions.

1) It's not "anyone over 40", unless you have a family history of colon cancer. It's over 50.

2) These days, they do not use general anesthesia, they use "twilight sleep", you aren't actually out, you just don't remember anything. You can breath on your own, unlike with general anesthesia. Recovery is swift.

Mine was a piece of cake and I had an endoscopy at the same time. The prep was annoying, mostly because I was soooo hungry, but nothing horrible. I was done with prep by 8pm and got a full night's sleep.The twilight sleep meds didn't work (I underreact to anesthesia) and I was awake and aware the whole time, just plenty relaxed from a single Valium. Mine was in an outpatient facility, not in a hospital. In at 8am, home by 11am, as they let me go after 15 min in recovery, since I hadn't been "out" and was talking through the whole thing (except the endoscopy, of course!). No trouble eating again afterward, in fact, I brought a turkey sandwhich with me to eat as soon as I was done, because I knew I'd be too hungry to wait to eat until I got home. Worked from home as soon as I got there, as I had too much to do to take an unnecessary afternoon off.
