Haha it's so long there's a suggestion it needs to be broken into multiple pages: Screen shot of notice at top of wikipedia page stating "It has been suggested that this article be split out into articles titled 'False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (first term)', 'False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (between terms)' and 'False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (second term)'. (Discuss) (October 2025)"

    I like how Wikipedia's main issue is that this list has grown too long to read comfortably:

    One of my "favorites" (not mentioned in the Wiki article) is that in the 1980s Trump offered to pay for the funeral of a child killed by a bear ... and then of course reneged.

    21 in average per day? You need to be a professional bullshitter for that, I couldn't do that many

    Someone like Trump doesn't surprise me ... there are many people in the world that are this dumb and obnoxious. They're everywhere ... he isn't special.

    What gets me is that America literally paved the way for him to gain the highest office in their country and the population still sits around complaining about it while doing as little or nothing about it all.

    The most shocking thing? MAGA still supports him, even in the face of rising prices, losing benefits and constant lies. A true cult that will be studied for decades

    My MAGA relative shared a meme on FB saying "Border crossings down 93%, gas prices hit a 4 year low, eggs down $1.8 per dozen, inflation down to 1.8%, the Media silent" with absolutely no sources.

    They're not living on the same plane of reality. They don't care about the veracity of anything.

    Surprise surprise.

    Fascists are exactly as dumb as they sound.

    They think once every other race, religion and sexual orientation is gone, they will be in heaven.

    Not realizing they are digging the other way.

    That's not sure. What comes after him might be worse. But for the USA, this is like getting that first heart attack. It's the sign things need to change urgently. Just ignoring it happened and assuming the problem goes away when going back to the old routine is the worst you can do. Without some serious lifetime changes, the next one will be worse.

    Unfortunately Democrats are the party is the status quo and Republicans only like to make things right for a very small part of the population. Nothing much will change for the better.

    I hate that there is still this tiny little voice inside me that says I can show this article to a Trump believer and have it make some kind of difference in how they see Trump.

    The third sub-heading is simply "Bullshit". The fact that they describe how a "Bullshitter" differs from "Liar" is a TIL for me... I never really thought about it before, but the description here is spot on.

    But isn't he the guy that tells it like it is? That's what his voters always say.

    And yet he still is the president of one of the most powerful countries on this planet - twice……

    The amount of times I've heard over the years from "common sense" folk that old chestnut that all politicians are liars, just makes my head hurt. No Uncle Dylan, I just don't think you can tell the difference between a lie and a half-truth, or even a lie and a fact. That "wisdom" is a hundred+ year old cliche and Trump's popularity proves that those people have never known what a man who is lying if his lips are moving actually looks like.

    Totally! I really like that the article explains that Trump doesn't lie, but he bullshits. Apparently the reason is that lying means the liar knows what's true, while a bullshitter doesn't care if the bullshit is true or false. This is one of the reasons Trump is unique.

    There's a big problem in our society: when a ruler lies people get along with it but if a peasant does it they give them shit. Have you not noticed this? If a normal person, a friend, the neighbor, a worker get caught lying they get labelled and people hold a grudge against them for years, but if a politician (red, blue or whatever) tells a lie the same process doesn't apply

    What about a database containing the names and faces of all of his supporters alike?

    Because the clown is the clown, but he'd be nothing without the circus.

    I feel like we could probably get Guinness world records to give him a world record for most lies told in a political career. Maybe they could top it off with the second most to show the disparity since I imagine the second most would be another Republican and an outrageous number, but probably one tenth as many as Donald Trump.
