Why would Trump lie about his father? |
Eddie Robbins |
He said his father was born in Germany. He was born in New York. Why did he lie? |

Yesterday was also the third time he said that, so it's tough to buy that it was just a slip of the tongue.
It's not a big deal if Trump lies about where his father was born. That's the defense, right? Yeah, it's a lie, but who cares.
The problem for me is that it's just one more example of how Trump lies about everything, big and small, lies that help him and lies that hurt him. He seems to just say whatever on earth he imagines is true right in that moment.
I look forward to constructive and respectful dialogue in this thread. |

Quote: | Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump; 14 March 1869 – 30 May 1918) was a German–American businessman and the patriarch of the Trump family. Born in Kallstadt, in the Kingdom of Bavaria (now in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), he emigrated to the United States at the age of 16 and started working as a barber. |
He was referring to his Grandfather, obviously.
And yes, WHY would he lie? I constantly call my daughter by my sister's name. My mom constantly called me by her brother's name. Are those lies, too? Geesh. You guys are grasping at straws. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

Did you watch the whole speech where he made the wind farm comment? It was sarcasm.
And do you really believe there was not massive fraud in the last mid-term? _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

Politicians:. They say what suits their purpose.
I was named for Sir Edmund Hillary.
I am a Cherokee Indian.
That wasn't me wearing blackface in a picture that says it's me.
I did not have sex with that woman.
I was born in Hawaii.
All those - all narcissists - all have enough hubris to think they SHOULD be President - they think different than us. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

RS, I get the feeling Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose you as a supporter. |

It would probably depend on who he shot LOL
BTW, calling a Chinese dictator a president would be a lie. |

Nope, but telling a Chinese dictator how cool it is he's a dictator isn't a good look. |

I get the idea that you are wrong about your idea. With all the serious issues facing the country, the two-tiered justice system being one of them, I'm surprised your focus is on such petty concerns. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

I've called people names before that flattered them but I kept it to myself that I was being sarcastic. Anyways, with the Chinese, you have to cater to their massive egos to get anywhere. They want to think everything is their idea, or at least that you think that whatever you are proposing helps them more than it helps you. My brother spent a year there and learned a lot about their national narcissism (yeah, maybe it takes one to know one in Trump's case, but it seems to be working). The left hated Nixon for making peace with China too, but it lead to 50 years of no more proxy wars with them didn't it? I think Trump is just trying to convince Xi that he thinks of our countries as equals so that he thinks its his idea that we should equalize everything we can. |

Nah - its the ear plugs you put in your ear that causes the cancer - all those chemicals it's coated with. Trump just hasn't connected all the dots. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

I know I'm lining myself up for abuse here, so go ahead and let me have it.
but this is my primary concern with Trump's dad, Tim Apple, the oranges of the Mueller report, cancer-causing turbines, King Xi, etc: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-mental-health-pre-dementia_n_5ca51ea2e4b0409b0ec32806
I know I'm not doing myself any favors linking to a Huff Post article with a video of Lawrence O'Donnell at the top of it. Trust me, I know.
But this is the #1 thing that has me debating casting a vote for a Democrat for the first time (at any level) in my life. The judges have been great, some of the policy has been great -- but I'm truly concerned this dude has serious degenerative cognition issues and I don't think I want someone like that helming the unitary executive. |

Sorry Dave.
He gets a physical each year. They will detect it.
Even if he has dementia - he will still think better than a Cory Booker in the White House. _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

1940s. Your excuses are not necessary, you can vote democrat if you want to. There are plenty of good reasons.
1. No wall or border, invite all the diseases and poverty you want to try to break the economies of your oposition states (Texas and Arizona)
2. Medicare for all so you can pay triple the tax you do now and get no benefit from it
3. Tax religious institutions to pay for Transgender operations and abortions
4. Fund free abortions to all
5. re-enact draconian government oversight to prevent small business growth
6. Green Raw Deal - A hundred Trillion dollars
7. Turn in your guns and depend on the government (nobody) to enforce laws (after they've already told you they want illegals to overrun the place)
8. Legal marijuana everywhere and you have to hire potheads to work for you because its legal now.
This can go on and on, and ALL are so much better than having someone who shoots off his mouth constantly right? |
