“The New York Times tabulated 131 false or misleading statements”

They must have read their own front page.

Most of these “lies” are simply Trump not agreeing with leftists orthodoxy. I saw some statements called lies for saying the FBI was conducting a witchhunt, a wall will help protect us, Islamic terror is real, fracking is good for America, the FBI was spying on him with the help of the CIA, China is behind the Corona virus and corona panic, etc etc.

The left disagrees with something, they call it a lie. I have a coworker who follows this “lie counter” religiously.

I keep hearing about “Trump’s lies”... But I never see any hard evidence he actually lied. Just people with a different OPINION.

Dishonesty by the media is what got us to this divided state of affairs.

The New York Times tabulated 131 false or misleading statements in a single rally in Janesville, Wisconsin. The Washington Post counted more than 22,000 false or misleading statements over nearly four years, including 189 on a single day in August.


Inability to understand metaphors, differences of opinion, cherry-picking experts, the fact-checkers getting basic facts wrong, with a bit of Trumpian hyperbole thrown in.

Yepper - when they say Trump lied, I hear Biden saying “It’s all a lie and my son did nothing wrong - you lying, dog-faced pony soldier...””
