Are Trump's Lies Becoming Even More Blatant?

This morning he tweeted that the GDP was higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in over 100 years! The only problem with that is that it isn't even close to true. In the past 70 years, there have been 62 quarters where that is true. In other words, over 22 percent of the time, the GDP has been higher than the unemployment rate over a quarter. And while a high GDP and low unemployment is good, they measure completely different things and are never compared by economists.

Does Trump even care that his continuing lies are so easily debunked?

Apparently the missing journalist, according to DT who spoke to the Stone Age barbarian running Saudi Arabia, who has denied any involvement, was that the journalist was a victim of rogue killers! Really, what were rogue killers doing I’m their embassy? Reckon his support has anything to do with a big arms deal ?

@jackjjackson Wonder how trump will lie his way out of this one, since he said they were "rogue killers" who did the deed?

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

He said he was told. So whoever told him lied. Geez. @windinhishair

@jackjjackson Got it--Trump isn't responsible for spreading false rumors. But then again, he's never responsible for anything he lies about.

He was informing the public what he was told. The media wanted to be kept up to date. Surely you have better things to do .... one would hope 😉 @windinhishair

@jackjjackson Like he informed the public of his inauguration crowd size? Just a public service? Like his lying about payments to Stormy Daniels to keep the media informed? Or his lies about the June 2016 Russia meeting? How wonderful he's keeping everyone up to speed with the lie du jour.

The dismissal of the most recent Daniels lawsuit proves you wrong yet again. @windinhishair

@jackjjackson Dismissal of a defamation lawsuit proves that he made no payments, which have since been admitted to by your ruler himself? What Trumpian Planet do you live on?

When you phrase things that way it doesn’t make me want to engage with you. @windinhishair
