The ‘King of Whopper': Donald Trump

It’s been a banner year for political whoppers - and for one teller of tall tales in particular: Donald Trump.

In the 12 years of FactCheck.org's existence, we've never seen his match.

He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong.

He is by no means the only one telling whoppers, of course. Once again this year there are plenty of politicians, in both parties, who hope voters will swallow their deceptive claims.

Projecting much, aren't we?

You won't get far with your SS/medicare remarks either. Freepers, whether they support Trump or Cruz, likely have paid into the system for 30 years or more.

When I retire in 2-3 years, I will have paid in for over 40 years.

There are a lot of Cruz supporters like me who have Trump as their #2. You have a right to your opinion, I simply think you're wrong.

Ah yes, Factcheck.org, that lovely little Leftist website spawned out of Leftist fishwrap from Pinellas County.

Repeat the lies enough times, and the sheep will believe.

I’ve been paying into the system, too. Since I was 14. Now I’m disabled, are you suggesting that after paying into the system for 41 years, I shouldn’t receive something back?

One of the "whoppers" is about Mexican birth right citizenship.
Does Mexico grant citizenship to babies born in Mexico to illegal immigrants?

That's because you've chosen to keep your eyes clamped shut. There has never been a more prolific liar than 0bongo.

Yup. I’m STILL waiting for Factcheck, Politifact, Snopes, etc to debunk the “hands up don’t shoot” narrative. But hell will freeze over, or longer than that the Bucs will win a Super Bowl before that happens.

“The Mexican Constitution states that Mexicans citizens by birth are:

[1]persons born in Mexican territory regardless of parents’ nationality or immigration status in Mexico.”
