Trump makes up a lie, and is caught almost immediately. A lie about Obama..

[Stuart G]

I believe this one will cost the..." Liar Trump." Perhaps the media will take him on, this one is an awful insult to the past president. We will see what the media does. But Trump will have to defend this one again, because he has accused the media of lying, "fake news" Well, Trump said it for all to hear. We will see, but this one could be it, because it is accusing Obama of not doing his job. ???? Look at the first 4 paragraphs, and Trump says that Obama didn't contact families of soldiers who died. Then he changed it do "often" The lie is all over the internet.

1. Context, please. (n/t)

[gratuitous]

6. Trump was asked about his complete failure to acknowledge the military dead

He tried to deflect and say that Obama had never called any of the grieving families, which was flat-out wrong. Trump had to backtrack, and offer some lame, limp excuse, "Well, that's what I HEARD."

[PJMcK]

13. Thank you!

I hadn't read the news and your post was the first thing I saw when I logged on!

Enjoy your evening, gratuitous.

2. Don't think W will tolerate the lie either, it tarnishes his "9-11" legacy

[sharp_stick]

3. It won't cost him anything

he lies so often that it's just a given. Nobody, with the possible exception of his rabid pack of backwoods supporters even pays any attention to his statements anymore.

It's so damned hard to keep up that Politifact and the Washington Post actually had to hire more people to maintain the factchecker sites.

5. And the take away is---------

Trump captured the News Cycle again for two days.

[sharp_stick]

7. Exactly

I really don't think the moron does it on purpose. Some people seem to think it's his way to keep the public from focusing on actual newsworthy events and I bought into that theory for awhile.

Now though, I think that's just him. In his entire life he's taken credit for everything that's gone right for him and denied responsibility for everything, and there's a lot more of this, that's fucked up. He's the shitstain spawn of a rich asshole who's never been told no so he just makes up a nice happy reality where he's always the hero. God I hate that man.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. It is done by design,

Trump will always praise himself first and if need be,make up some shit that the Cable News chew on for days.

[LenaBaby61]

10. "It won't cost him anything."

Agreed, it won't.

You also still have press folks who are raring to slap Hillary in the face and who want her to just "go away and not speak" unless it's them wanting he to kinda sorta take the blame for Harvey Weinstein (Erin Burnett), or when she says almost anything (Some in the press) CNN helped to get tRumputin elected and they want Hillary to go away unless they can blame her for oh, Weinstein. tRumputin stood there and said he's not shocked by Weinstein and the press pretty much let the self-described p***y-grabber get away with that.

It's also crickets on those filthy, lying, grifters Crooked Kushner and his daughter-wife Ivunka and their email issues (Mrs. Greenspan).

4. WE GOT HIM!

No, wait, wait, wait.....sorry, false alarm.

He's still President.

[Stuart G]

8. Your bottom 4 words, signiture, hit it on the head, "This Is Not Normal"

[Old Vet]

9. President Obama was present at EVERY soldiers return except two, In which Biden attented.

What a disgusting liar,

[Stuart G]

12. Because of your statement, and the statements of others, Trump needs to apologize..

He won't, but that is what he needs to do.

[Achilleaze]

14. republican lies are divisive & dangerous

not to mention a VIOLATION of the Ten Commandments that republicans claim to honor. right.

[Stuart G]

15. Correct.."Thou Shalt Not Lie" but republicans do it all the time. That is what they are.

And Trump is the worst. But the whole "Obama wasn't born here" thing. That one was said over and over and over. Not only by Trump but by others. And certain networks, like Fox, promoted these lies, just by broadcasting them.

[cwydro]

16. This one could be it?

Keep on dreaming.

I so wish, but in no way do I believe “this is it.”

[JI7]

17. Media doesn't care.

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. Can we stop with "this could be it"? The electorate sent a lying groping racist to the Oval Office.

We now know that Trump does/says whatever he thinks will drive the news cycle, and he's won again. As Rachel Maddow, who spends little to no time on Trump's daily tweets, always says "pay no attention to what he's saying/tweeting, watch what he does". You can be sure that there's some really crappy shit going on behind the scenes while we're all distracted by this latest diversion. It's by design.
