Closer to the truth about Donald Trump is he often speaks in hyperbole and /or as a salesman speaking impressionistally in order to make his sale.
Not all statements are lies for example "he hit the ball a mile". I had a million e -mails today"
Examples by Trump "Thousands of Muslims celebrated 9/11 on the rooftops of "New Jersey. Perhaps not thousands but some Muslims there did indeed celebrate. Another example "millions of votes cast illegally in the presidential election. Perhaps not millions but many instances of illegal voting have been documented.
Let's view it from a different lens. there is a difference between being wrong and lying. Bush had been wrong about Saddam possessing WMD. However Obama said "if you like your insurance you can keep it". If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" we now know he was telling a lie............................
courtsey of WSJ articles
The liberal media follows the George Constanza rule that " Its not a lie if you believe it" The liberal media's credibility ratings are in the tank abiding by the Constanza rule

Agree!
First of all, let me say that I am very glad Trump is our new President.
That being said, I call 'em as I see 'em. Does that mean I always see 'em right? Nope. Neither does Trump. He's not afraid to change his mind when he is proven off base, though. Hillary and Obama would never do that. Hillary just compounds her lies and Obama always blamed someone else.
While being NO fan of Obama, maybe he didn't lie. Remember, ole Nancy said the bill had to be read so that they could find out what was in it. Maybe, just maybe, he hadn't read it and "assumed" that that was what was there because that was what HE had in mind when he proposed it. He just wouldn't back down when it didn't turn out that way but just kept on saying it. We never got the transparency he promised. He also promised to get rid of the lobbyists....he didn't.
Bush went by what INTELLIGENCE was furnished to him and Congress. That it why the invasion and take down was authorized by CONGRESS. A vote was taken. He didn't lie.
We have a President who seems to have chosen his cabinet well. He said early on that he didn't have all the answers, but that he knew how to get the people who do. He knows how to
delegate responsibility and plans to do so, given that.
Remember: He is not a CAREER POLITICIAN. Thank goodness! He has his faults, but THAT is not one of them, and he is not beholden to the special interests and lobbyists. He has also said that he knows how lobbyists operate because he used to be one of them. He didn't say he would get rid of them; just that he wouldn't kow-tow to them.
