In reply to the discussion: Post your favorite trump lie here: [View all]Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)12. the biggest and bestest and most ironic lie of all, from his speech:
''But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else.''
somebody has to do something with that line, from the man who received the liar of the year award.
why would he have to preface his speech with such a caveat? think of the implication: is he accepting there the fact that he's such an inveterate, compulsive liar that he has to assure his audience that, this time, he's NOT GOING TO LIE? has anyone seen any analysis on this point? it's very telling when someone has to start out a 70+ minute harangue with the promise that there aren't going to be any lies.
the whole thing sounded like that ad one constantly sees for the copper cookware===>supposed to be the best thing ever, but when you read an actual review, you find that it's just overpriced, low grade crap. surprised?

OK....I heard this referenced the other day, but I guess it's not really a quote.
