Trump Becomes The Biggest Liar In US Political History By Lying Once Every 3 Minutes

Here’s the reason why the Clinton campaign wants Trump fact checked in real time. Fact checkers found that over a five-day period, Donald Trump lied once every 3 minutes and fifteen seconds.

Politico’s fact checkers tallied up every false public statement that Trump made this week, and the results were striking:


Number of appearances: 6 speeches; 1 town hall, 7 TV interviews; 0 press availabilities; 37 tweets

Combined length of remarks (speeches, interviews): 4 hours and 43 minutes

Raw number of misstatements, exaggerations, falsehoods: 87

Rate: 1 untruth every 3.25 minutes...................

And the media still yelps about the trust factor and Hillary over and over. Why aren't they asking--How can you trust Trump when he lies all the time??

1. And yet it appears to make no difference in our politics anymore.

[BSdetect]

2. She should just raise a finger each time he lies.

After ten fingers she could go binary but that will be over the heads of most people.

If only the mods would actually do something useful.

[Orrex]

8. A woman raising her finger that way would be denounced as a scolding schoolmarm

Never mind that Trump lies constantly; the media would (continue to) ignore him in order to attack her.

10. I'd like to see a loud buzzer

like they use on game shows. The look on his face would be priceless.

[Yallow]

3. They Believe The Lies - That's What Makes Them Deplorable

They don't even care if what they believe is true or not.

Thank you Fox Noise, and Rush the liar Limbaugh.

[IrishEyes]

4. Shocking

I thought it was more than that.

[saltpoint]

5. "I have the best lies, the biggest lies. Believe me." eom

[liberal N proud]

6. Until the Main Stream Media stop allowing him and his puppets to lie on air

Nothing will change, no one will wake up to this catastrophe that is about to happen.

[greymattermom]

7. Joy Reid

should give them all lessons in how to counter a bold lie. I'm amazed every time I see her do that without having the guest walk off.

[PatSeg]

11. Yes, she is amazing

She is like that teacher we all had who wouldn't let you get away with anything, always pulling you back to the facts.

13. From February, but shows what a problem the media is.

Donald Trump’s candidacy might not be making America great, CBS Chairman Les Moonves said Monday, but it’s great for his company.

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," Moonves said

"Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now? ... The money's rolling in and this is fun," Moonves went on. "I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

They're all guilty of this, he just said it out loud.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Meanwhile they continue to say

"Well there are 'falsehoods being made by both sides'" and then they proceed to cherry-pick an equal number of statements from each candidate to use as an example, as if they are "lying" or "misrepresenting facts" at the same rate.... versus showing a pie chart or other graph to accurately illustrate the sheer numbers of lies, distortions, innuendos, and falsehoods being spewed by one versus the other.

[world wide wally]

12. And Trump knows he can get away with it.

So, the talking heads call him a genius for lying, and feed into it by pretending they don't know any better.
If, on the other hand, these same talking heads were given a bonus each time they correctly called out a lie, they woul be doing it every 3 minutes.

[sarcasmo]

14. Don the Con wants no fact checkers, imagine that, LMFAO.

[question everything]

15. And yet, for his voters none of this matters

sigh
