...And I never will. I could never forgive him for the death of my brown-eyed girl.
Oh, no, Trump lied about the pandemic. At the same time he was making public statements that COVID-19 was no worse than the flu and it would all blow over shortly, Trump was also on the phone with Bob Woodward talking about how deadly it was. (The fact that he was stupid enough to let Woodward record their phone conversations...)
Have you told us lately? Why, were we supposed to care or something? 
Just reread that, he comes across as totally delusional about his ability to control reality. (Hence not lying as such, he believes it to be the real truth).
Lying or truly delusional I'm just glad he's no longer President and in control of our COVID policies both domestic and foreign.
This thread went off the rails faster than Van Morrison being taught how to use iTunes.
Whether or not Trump is actually delusional and believes the shit that spews forth from his lips to be the truth, it doesn't change the fact that he is a liar. This sort of equivocating nonsense is why there are members of Congress spouting bullshit about the election being stolen and the January 6th insurrectionists being "peaceful" and "like a tour group."
A lot of evil people genuinely believe they're telling the truth even when it hurts or kills innocent people. "Oh, I don't think he's lying" is a meaningless thing to say.
We assign undue respect to the concept of "honesty" in our society. Sometimes you should hide the terrible things you believe.
Oh, I despise him, sleep better now he's out of office, and the worst evil often comes from people who are so delusional that they believe their own lies.
Frankly, I thought his mind would break when he lost. He seems to be avoiding that by insisting he won.
Name one.
He's better than anyone at getting impeached.
I take responsibility for the Biden trojan horse theory because I fully believe it. And the only way I'm going to stop believing it is if and when Biden reaches '25 without Amendment 25 being invoked. No amount of ridicule will do the job.
I do not put much stock in the other theory, and was truthful about that as well. But, I expect you know that. You're just accusing me of being the source of it because blaming me for something that crazy improves your position.
When the facts are not on your side, make an ad hominem attack. Classic debate tactics.
Try reading an analysis of his 2020 state of the union address. While a few of the things he said required a certain amount of context, nearly all of it was admitted to be true, and a lot of it was the whole truth. As someone who dislikes the man greatly, it surprised me.
He managed to deliver, more or less successfully, a speech which was written for him by someone else, and a fair percentage of it was later confirmed to be more or less true. That bar is set so high that he'd be able to limbo under it easily without removing the lifts from his shoes.
One can but speculate, then, how great would be that surprise had he been good, over the course of four years, at anything more than the presentation of a single speech (for which he no doubt received beforehand so much coaching and thorough rehearsal by his
He managed to get impeached twice, lose the popular vote twice and never top 50% in public opinion polls. No President before him could achieve those things all in one term. Or two. Or three. Or...four.
