1. March 30: Trump claims MSNBC edited their released version of his interview with Chris Matthews in which Trump stumbled on abortion: “You really ought to hear the whole thing. I mean, this is a long convoluted question. This was a long discussion, and they just cut it out. And, frankly, it was extremely — it was really convoluted.” Nope; that was a lie.
2. March 29: Trump lies that Wisconsin’s effective unemployment rate is 20%, saying, ""What? Is it 20 percent? Effective or regular? I mean just -- effective unemployment rate, 20 percent. Hey, this is out of the big book." According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, The U-3 official unemployment rate in Wisconsin was 4.6 percent in 2015; Wisconsin’s U-6 rate for 2015 was 8.3 percent.
3. March 29: Told Sean Hannity, “You know, I look at what’s happening in Wisconsin with the numbers, the job numbers, the trade numbers, how it’s a stagnant economy, how they owe $2.2 billion in terms of their budget.” As Factcheck.org reported, Wisconsin’s general fund is currently projected to have a positive balance when its current two-year budget cycle ends next year, according to an analysis by nonpartisan budget experts.
4. March 29: Trump alleged that when Michelle Fields "found out that there was a security camera, and that they had her on tape, all of a sudden that story changed." Absolutely untrue.
5. March 29: Trump said the Secret Service was worried about Fields, alleging, "She went through the Secret Service, she had a pen in her hand, which Service Service is not liking because they don't know what it is, whether it's a little bomb…” As Katie Pavlich of Townhall noted, “All reporters at campaign events, like regular attendees, go through Secret Service security before being allowed into a venue. The security is thorough, with a back check, wanding and a metal detector walk through. Fields wasn't carrying a knife, she was carrying a pen and if the Secret Service thought it was dangerous, they would have taken it from her at the security checkpoint before entering the room.”
I wouldn’t call any of the GOP candidates liars. But Mr. Trump is clearly a whiner.
9. March 21: Trump lies, “Out of 67 counties (in Florida), I won 66, which is unprecedented. It's never happened before.” Nope. In 2004, John Kerry won all 67 counties for the Democrats; in 2000, Al Gore won all 67 for the Democrats and. George W. Bush won all 67 for Republicans. In 1996, Bob Dole took 66 of 67 counties for the GOP primary and the 67th was a tie between Dole and Pat Buchanan in Washington County.
Wow, what stretching. Some guy just deems that everything Trump says is a lie, and presto! changeo! it becomes lies.
The unemployment numbers actually are cooked. Since real unemployment contains people that do not get counted by the normal mechanism, how much higher the unemployment rate is than the official story really depends on the assumptions that go into the calculations. That reporter did actually all but assault Trump (and has a history of pretending to be attacked so as to generate news)—and really did tone down the story when she found out it was filmed. There actually is a deficit in WI, and quoting a prediction of a situation 2 years in the future hardly refutes that.
And so on. I am reminded of when the media kept repeating the mantra that Bush lied, over and over, and actually convinced people of it—even though they never produced a single lie that Bush had allegedly uttered.
You Cruzites still don’t get it, do you? Right now the media/political cabal is set on taking down Trump, because he presents a real threat to the establishment. Right now, Cruz serves their purpose. If, God forbid, they should be successful, they will turn on Cruz—and probably even more viciously than Trump. The same media that covered up bimbo eruptions on Clinton’s behalf won’t do the same for a guy who tries to pass himself off as a conservative.
“Massive list of Trumps’ lies ping!
Of course Trump is a pathological liar.
Kleptomaniacs always accuse others of stealing, to create a smoke screen. .
You never lied 71 times in a conversation?
Cruz is scum...
Cruzbots are like Anti-disciples, they make you Hate Cruz even more.
50. January 22: Trump releases ad saying Cruz is pro-amnesty Ironically, Cruz is not pro-amnesty, as Jeff Sessions has testified, but Trump has been:
It’s not worth going through this point by point.
Fields absolutely changed her tune. Other’s around her also went mute or changed THEIR version of what happened.
If there is a Trump 101 of “lies” there must be a thousand Doctorates available for Cruz’s lies.
TRUMP !!!
The author does not know what a lie is. All untruths are not lies.
Gosh - The Daily News channeling Politico and The Huff Post - you “Cruz or Lose”ers have lost it and can’t see the irony as you help the GOPe seat Hillary to maintain its entrenched status.
