I do not give one shiny turd how Trump compares to any of these because it has zero bearing on today. It is a pointless conversation meant only to try to label anyone calling Trump "the worst" as liars themselves.dolomite wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 10:21 amHow about this; facts, or opinion?twocoach wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 10:13 amThere just isn't enough time passed to see the impacts of Trump's lies yet. The impact of his absurd tax cut will be felt for decades if we don't get them rolled back soon and the impact of some of his rollbacks of EPA regulations could lead to the deaths of thousands of people unnecessarily.dolomite wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 9:11 am Don't know your history?
Trump is not guilty of any lie, falsehood, fabrication, false claim, or toxic exaggeration that equals the lies of one past president whose Alamo-sized ego caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and another chief executive who denied his serial adultery. Most Americans can see the difference between an out-and-out lie and self-evident hyperbole, even if the mainstream press and Trump’s political opponents cannot or will not.
Here are some facts for you buddy boy:

And half the "facts" provided in that article were pure opinion.
The most consequential presidential liar was Lyndon B. Johnson, who repeatedly promised during the 1964 presidential campaign, “We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.” At the very same time and with Johnson’s approval, the Pentagon was drawing up plans to send the first wave of more than 100,000 American servicemen to Vietnam. Johnson’s macho determination not to “lose” Vietnam led him to keep increasing the number of American troops until they reached over 500,000. His strategy produced ever mounting U.S. fatalities, reaching a total of 58,000 by the time fighting ended in 1973.
And this;
As we now know, President John F. Kennedy covered up his precarious health (he had Addison’s disease, a serious hormonal condition), denied his many extra-marital affairs with gangster molls and Hollywood stars, and lied about a non-existent “missile gap” in the 1960 presidential race. Once elected, he allowed the Pentagon to announce that no missile gap existed.
And this;
The monumental presidential lie of the last half century is President Nixon’s denial of White House involvement in the Watergate burglary. Nixon lied until he was forced to release tapes that proved his part in the cover-up, which forced him to resign.
Want more?
What do want, for people to call Trump only the 4th biggest liar in presidential history? THAT'S a fucking win for you?!? Congrats, I guess.
