Examples where you can prove or reasonably say there was intent to deceive? I can think of 3-4 events where someone misspoke. Quite understandable given the volume of information circulating.

Terrorism and terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe have "gotten to a point where it's not even being reported."
— Donald Trump on Monday, February 6th, 2017 in a speech in Tampa, Fla.

"If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?"
— Donald Trump on Thursday, December 15th, 2016 in a tweet

it was reported a month before the election, they talked about it in the final pres. debate

all the 'serious voter fraud' allegations - no proof, so were they lies?

President Barack Obama "spent so much time screaming at a protester, and frankly it was a disgrace." - not true

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-tru... go crazy

You could also add the holidays he said he wouldn't take.

Not to mention the hitherto avoided "I have no relationship with Putin" lies, repeated over and over and over.

Or the corker that the administration is running like a fine tuned machine. Granted this can be argued as subjective but in no world is a national security adviser resigning in disgrace a hallmark of a fine tuned machine.

The way this is going, the comedy value of Trump will break the internet.

I've never really considered his appearance, he has one, and it's his brand, fair enough. This has made me think though of all those blerts in the Corbyn thread who used to bang on constantly about JC's appearance, as if that st really matters.

Of course it matters. A lot.

It matters even more if, like Corbyn, you're beyond useless at your job and some form of socially acceptable appearance would be your only saving grace.

American politicians often go for the 'slightly incompetent dresser' look

expensive advisors wearing sharp suits have told them that the salt of the earth, sons of the soil, great American public etc don't like these sharp-suited politicians

If you want to be seen as an every day blue-collar billionaire you have to wear cheap-looking clothes in your golden tower

You strike me as a quitter. Do you think you'd be happy anywhere?
I once spent along time 'running' travelling to places, lived in Australia etc, but finally realised the one thing i could not run from was my own mind... so stopped drinking sorted my head out and for the most part pretty content since then...

And yet you seem to get awfully put out by people inheriting wealth...or are you still running from some bits of your mind?

I think the issue is people who inherited massive wealth trying lying to pass as a self made man in order to lure the voters in. But I'm sure you knew that already.

Genuinely didn't... I haven't heard or seen him try and say it was all his own doing. Nor I have any clue whether it is or isn't - if he's gone bust a couple of times and recovered, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

I'm not convinced that got him elected though.

It's increasingly clear, as with Brexit, that a good number who post on here are in retrenched positions and it wouldn't matter what the guy did, those positions would not change (both ways).

I happen to agree with Trump's stance on the big ticket items some are up in arms about thus far. The execution leaves a good deal to be desired, and I'm not a fan of social media like Facebook and Twitter no matter who uses it as it seems to be monopolised by the cretinous "look at me" crowd. But if he can push those issues in the right direction I don't care who he is or how he does it, he'll deserve a pat on the back.

Equally I disagree with him on a number of items that have yet to come to the fore.

Fortunately I'm not a US citizen. My overriding thought during the election was "are these two really the best picks for President out of 250m+ people". But then we are hardly swimming in quality politicians... I do think the US chose the better option on balance... But time will tell.

It would be good if people could put their own bias to one side and give people a chance to actually deliver. But that does not seem to be the way these days. Look at the US election and Brexit... Both suffer the same malaise.

The sad thing is that we all then wonder why we get the quality of politician/leader coming through as we do. We reap what we sow, and at present that applies doubly to those on the "losing" sides that are out to find fault at all costs, no matter how material those things are. People who want to be seen as intelligent but then pick out immaterial nonsense do themselves nor their arguments any favours.

A curiosity I noticed recently: Seems the Wiki entry for Operation Mockingbird was edited in 2017 and now uses the word "allegedly" regarding the program's existence.

Seems Winston is busy tossing items down the memory hole. Truly fascinating to witness the scale of the propaganda effort.

We have an explanation!
Trump can foresee the future and his last night comment was actually meant to read three nights from now

To all concerned, no I was not one of the rioters.

I was trying to think of something positive about Trump and that quote made me think of something.

He doesn't seem to mention God or religion very much / at all.

He does lie a fair bit, though.

[Hugo a Gogo]

can someone find a single cogent, sensible statement from Trump?

something you might actually put under a picture of him, as an inspirational quote?

He's not consistently bombastic with religion but he started his rally on saturday with the Lord's Prayer - read by his wife (who visibly flinched when he squeezed her arm) after reading it...he drops in phrases like "God's grace" etc into his speeches.

I suspect that he's not overly religious but has been told his supporters might be so drop in enough references to keep them happy. If not religious then I'd prefer he'd state that but in the US there's not much chance of an atheist politician getting elected to high office.

Nor one that doesn't fawn over the military.

You're an actual crazy person.

Fascinating.

I think he's trying to show that he's even more loopy than your typical camo-wearing, rootin' tootin' US native. In the hope that Trumpters don't eventually get around to kicking his immigrant ar5e out, too.

One day he'll be desperately showing his PH posting history to a sceptical DHS thug. Perhaps if we all call him Ahmed, it'll help get him home sooner?

I think he's a WUM. Why else would he be quoting Manic Street Preacher lyrics to reinforce his viewpoint? Unless he's the sort who thinks REM's "The One I Love" is a love song.

I'm sure if you can supply proof of the program's existence, then Wikipedia would accept your correction.
