Donald Trump's speech on Hillary Clinton filled with distortions


Last Updated Jun 23, 2016 12:30 AM EDT

WASHINGTON Donald Trump's fierce denunciation of Hillary Clinton on Wednesday was rife with distortion.

He accused Clinton of announcing a withdrawal from Iraq that wasn't on her watch, pulled numbers out of nowhere on her plan for refugees and went beyond the established facts behind the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya in stating starkly that she "left him there to die." In doing so, he assigned her far more influence in the world than she exercised as secretary of

A look at some of his assertions and how they stack up with the facts:


TRUMP: "In just four years, ..............

THE FACTS: These statements make only passing acquaintance with reality.

There was no U.S. invasion of Libya. ............................

And she had nothing to do with the "disastrous strategy" of giving a departure date from Iraq. It was the George W. Bush administration that announced the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq in 2008...............................

2. Everything...

... that comes out of that idiot's mouth is a distortion of reality.

[OnDoutside]

3. Joe Scarborough is seriously bigging up Trump's speech/rant....Pulling for the Reps as usual

[lark]

10. I listened to that swill for a few moments this am.

Still have a bad taste in my mouth. It was truly sickening. All they talked about was Donald managed to read a speech without getting sidetracked. That's it. Donald acted like a politician and they were all swooning, totally. Not one thing was said about the actual content of the speech, just that he could read a prepared speech. Wow, he's got the skills of a 5th grader, AMAZING!! They totally ignored that the speech, such as it was, was nothing more than a pile of dog crap lies.

[OnDoutside]

14. Yeah, Barnacle was too timid in pulling him up on it. He tried initially but backed off.

[Demoiselle]

21. I can't watch Morning Joe. He's a great gaping asshole, and Mika just makes little pursey-lip faces

…I can't remember ever seeing her really contradict him. Joe represents "balance" on MSNBC, I guess, but I don't
really believe we need total stupidity in the mix in the name of "fairness."

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Trump speaks in exaggeration and hyperbole all the time

MOST EVER GREATEST LEAST NEVER

No shades of gray

and a sign of limited intelligence

[niyad]

5. if his lips were moving, he was lying.

[Bradical79]

6. I'm shocked!

Really though, I'm glad there are people on top of this, because really, how many of us have the time to debunk all his bullshit? It's a full time job.

[mrmpa]

23. I'm unemployed & need a job........

I could do this.

[Kingofalldems]

7. He a filthy liar and a reflection of his fans morals.

[forest444]

8. A lot like his Trump University brochures, no doubt.

Boy, there are con-men - and then there's Trump.

[fasttense]

9. Well of course it is

The man doesn't know the difference between a fact and a lie.

But if he had compared her to a llama, then we would know for certain he was bashing Hillary.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. until someone in the MSM has the cajones to point out every lie that RUMP

spews there are going to be some of those that are on the fence as to which way to vote that will
believe some of this swill

[Beacool]

13. I agree.

Just a slight correction. The word is "cojones". "Cajones" are either boxes or the drawers in a bureau.

[Beacool]

12. Well, is anyone surprised?

3/4 of what Trump says on any subject is either half false or completely false.

The guy is a con man, he lies as easily as he breathes.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

15. Hillary got it over on Trump when she said-

Trump is a world class lier. Of-course the facts support her summation of Trump.



So I'm a lier,so what ?
If I say it's a hole in one,it is because I own the golf course !



Dump Trump !

[ailsagirl]

16. The repukes aren't real big on facts

To dumdum's followers, facts matter not a bit.

I think he's mental-- really

[Cha]

17. NO Kidding!

[ehrnst]

18. To him, even gravity is an opinion. (nt)

[rladdi]

20. But he is no worst then what G. Bush said during his 2 campaigns. BUSH LIED most of the time.

Then he had a crews trashing Dan Rather, who was accurate in his account, BTW. But the ignorant tend to believe the Republicans for some reason. The ignorant have no thinking power, to odl and senile, and really care less about America
Trump had no clue while in Scotland about what had happened in the UK. NO CLUE. He is more concerned about promoting his properties anyway.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. I wish the idiots in this country

would realize the agreement to withdraw troops from Iraq was requested by Iraq, signed off on by Bush, and implemented by Obama.
