Trump Stepped Into a Trap

In case anyone else here is learning impaired, or gives a damn...

1. Politicians embellish, mislead, are wrong, are delusional, and lie to a greater or lesser extent. They are NOT all the same even though they may share that trait.

2. In order to differentiate which of those best represents an inaccurate statement, you would have to know with certainty the intent, or be certain what that person knows

3. Without interacting with that person, I won't likely know with certainty what that person knows.

4. I prefer to focus on whether statements are accurate v inaccurate.

5. I don't know or care whether Trump lied more than Obama. Don't know if he intended to deceive when selling his health care plan about keeping your doctor, or that prices would be lower. I do know that in some cases (like mine), he was wrong. His detractors are just are convinced he LIED, or so they say, as YOU are about Trump lying.

Lastly, Dave, if you really want to have a conversation with me, you won't go down the path of inaccurately representing what I say to try to make your point. Your attempt to represent my position by conflating "all politicians lie" with "they're all the same", is inaccurate.
Only you know what your intent was.

That has been, more or less, my position on it all from the beginning.

i started noticing the differences when he ran in 2016 versus his Reform Party (alleged) run in 1999.  What I believe happened between then and now is, he used his massive marketing research division to investigate what American voters wanted.  He tested those waters in 2012 but of course did not run, but gathered a lot of information.  By 2016, his research had leeched him onto the back of the conservative humpback whale who were sitting on their couches just waiting for what it was he now knew he would say.

so, I agree, what comes out of his mouth (and keyboard) is exactly what (he believes) those activists want and, with the democrats doing everything in their power to fall from Grace, I believe he will walk that same path in November.

i am with MDDad in the belief he is not presidential (and in many ways, as I have stated before, childish)... but 1) I don’t think he cares anything about being “presidential” because he is positioned as a DC outsider, and 2) I think he still believes this is what the voters want.

BD - let's just leave it at we'll agree to disagree about your assessment(s).

Ummmm..., BostonJohnnyComeLately to this board, many here have expressed dislike for the Presidents personality traits. Again stop with the false narrative and assumptions.
