Do Donald Trump Supporters Know He is Also a Liar?

I am going to start this post in a way in which I rarely start posts off doing. Instead of informing you about stuff and then forming an opinion, I am going to ask straight out. And before I ask the question I am going to come out and say NO I am not voting for Hillary Clinton. While she actually has experience in politics, she doesn't deserve my vote based on lies and scandals. Speaking of lies though, this question goes out to staunch Donald Trump supporters. I have been asking myself and others this question for about a year and a half because for the life of me, I cannot wrap my mind around how people think. When I die and I see St. Peter at the "Pearly Gates" I am going to ask him if Donald Trump supporters actually think he doesn't lie or if they believe him when he says he doesn't lie.

All I have been hearing since he has decided to run for president is that he tells the truth, he tells it how it is, he isn't a politician, and he doesn't lie. You can imagine Donald Trump wearing an Abraham Lincoln costume with the top hat and the beard or as a little boy telling his father that he chopped down a cherry tree. Yeah, I am not buying it. Besides being probably the weakest presidential candidate we have ever had in an election where his opponent is the second weakest candidate of all time he does have a decent chance of winning because the election should be semi close.

However, to say he doesn't lie? That is baffling to me because on all of the "truth and lies" websites that I have been to, the result is that Trump is lying his pants off. The funniest part of his campaign was when he called Republican opponent Ted Cruz "Lyin' Ted", but the thing is that Ted Cruz tells the truth more than Donald does. It just baffles me that his supports don't think that he lies when he clearly does. I mean it could be because they are just mindless people who just believe everything he says, but off the top of my head, I can tell you at least five times that he has lied. Donald Trump lied when he:

Said Hillary Clinton was wrong when he mocked a disabled reporter, which he did...

Said that he didn't support the war in Iraq, when he said that "I guess I do"...

Said that he wouldn't profile Middle Eastern and Muslim men when coming into this country, when he did...

Said that Hillary Clinton wanted to abolish the Second Amendment, when she never said that...

and my favorite...

Said that the unemployment rate in this country is 59%, which is in every way, completely impossible.

So clearly, yes, while Hillary is a liar and Hillary is crooked and I live in California so I don't have to vote for her anyways, Donald Trump is and will always be a liar. If you are reading this and still want to vote for him, okay, that is fine, I am not pleading with you to not vote for someone that you like. But you lose a lot of credibility by coming out and saying that the man doesn't lie and always tells the truth, because the reality is that he rarely tells the truth and is usually pants on fire lying. With these statements said, I know that my comments will be followed up with me being a Hillary supporter and me just being a Trump "hater". I scoff at those sentiments. So I ask finally to all of his staunch supporters, do you believe him when he says that he doesn't lie?

Does Donald lie? I'll let you decide

  1. Your right Hank. Trump is definitely more of a liar than Clinton - and politifact confirms that. His scandals are also worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Lfd1aB9YI Still, I disagree - California or not your vote matters.
