OBAMA LIES vs TRUMP LIES

Okay, okay, I finally get it, i.e., THE Donald. I get why he's leading in the polls. I get why he's saying outrageous things and getting away with saying them. And finally, I get why some people like him.

First off, he says things others wish they could say and he gets away with it. He says things racists and bigots like to hear and homophobes simply climax when he says horrible things about Mexicans and immigrants of all kinds and stripes. There are a noisy bunch of folks out there who are terrified of anyone who is not a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Anyone who is Muslim is a terrorist, including the President of the United States [who, by the way, should be impeached].

Donald Trump finally has found that special segment of our society who have quietly been fuming about Political Correctness for decades. If Donald says something ugly and demeaning, they raise a glass and salute him in the local peanut-shell-strewn beer pub. Crazed pulpit pounders who have been preaching doom and destruction for years can point to Donald and say, “See, here's a man who knows the truth and ain't afraid to stand up and say so. And if he tells a few tall tales, so what?”

It doesn't matter if, in fact, The Donald is telling the truth. “.... “thousands and thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey were “cheering,” Said Donald, at the time of the 9/11 disaster. [Blatantly false] Trump boasted that he “predicted Osama bin Laden.” [Nope] Trump “heard” that Obama is “thinking about signing an executive order where he wants to take your guns away.” [Huh Uh] Trump said he “heard” the Obama administration plans to accept 200,000 Syrian refugees — even upping that wildly inaccurate number to 250,000 in another speech. [Absolutely wrong both times] Trump said he got to know Putin “very well” while the two were on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” [Interviews thousands of miles apart] Trump told the story of a 2-year old who got autism a week after the child got a vaccine. [Dangerously wrong] Trump said Mexico doesn’t have a birthright citizenship policy. [Oh, yes it does] Trump claimed credit for getting Ford Motor Co. to move a plant from Mexico to Ohio. [Ford says The D. doesn't know what he's talking about] Trump denied that he ever called female adversaries some of these things: “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals.” [Yep, he said 'em all] Trump said in June “there are no jobs” to be had, when official statistics were showing 5.4 million job openings — the most in 15 years. [Oops] Trump claimed economic growth in the U.S. has “never” been below zero — until the third quarter of 2015. “Who ever heard of this?” he asked. [Except it’s not unheard of. Economic growth has been below zero 42 times since 1946.]

But...still...I get it. There's a segment of society who thinks Barack Obama lies all the time too. And, ol' Barack has told a few in his day. If you would like to check it out, go to http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp and you'll find 50 lies he's told over his 8 years in office.
