Has Donald ever told the truth?

Donald is quick to call names.. and make outlandish claims..

Donald Trump has repeatedly labeled his political opponents liars. He dubbed Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) Lyin' Ted when it became clear that Cruz was a serious rival for his nomination; he called Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) an "even bigger liar" than Cruz. He dubbed Dr. Ben Carson a "pathological liar" and said former Florida Governor Jeb Bush's lies were almost as bad as Cruz's. Trump has termed virtually every mildly adversarial media member a liar, too.

But there's only one truly massive liar in this race: Donald Trump. When Politico attempted to measure how many lies Trump told over the course of 4.6 hours of speeches, they found that he lied, on average, once every five minutes. When Huffington Post catalogued his lies over the course of just one town hall event, they came up with 71 lies.

here is one list of 101 lies...

the fact is when Donald isn't bragging, lieing or stealing little old lady's land,.. he is just telling folk what they WANT to hear...


27. March 7: “I’m self-funding my campaign. I’m not taking money. ... I’m not taking. I spent a lot of money. I don’t take.” As of Jan. 31, his campaign had accepted $7.5 million from donors not named Donald J. Trump.

We received a call asking for donations to his campaign....why do people by the masses believe hustlers?
Trump sounds like a snake-oil salesman to me. He is plain scary.

There are hundreds of lies in various news orgs made by Ted. We are in a sad age when NO politicans are above lying.

Here is one amongst the many that is particularly disturbing to me because of no explanation/retraction when called on it:

Sen. Ted Cruz overreaches when he claims that President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, is “precisely” the kind of nominee “that a dealmaker like Donald Trump would support.” In fact, Trump has named two possible Supreme Court nominees, and both were Republican appointees with conservative credentials.

Cruz made his remarks in a statement that he issued immediately after Obama announced his intention to nominate Garland, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. At that point, Trump had not issued a specific statement on Garland, but earlier that day Trump said on “Good Morning America” that the Senate should block Obama’s appointment — regardless of whom it would be.

The nominee turned out to be Garland, who was appointed to the D.C. Circuit Court by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1995 and approved by the Senate in 1997. In his statement, Cruz describes Garland as “a so-called ‘moderate’ Democrat” who is “precisely” the kind of nominee “that a dealmaker like Donald Trump would support.”


Cruz, March 16: "Merrick Garland is exactly the type of Supreme Court nominee you get when you make deals in Washington D.C. A so-called “moderate” Democrat nominee is precisely the kind of deal that Donald Trump has told us he would make – someone who would rule along with other liberals on the bench like Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor. Make no mistake, if Garland were confirmed, he would side predictably with President Obama on critical issues such as undermining the Second Amendment, legalizing partial-birth abortion, and propping up overreaching bureaucratic agencies like the EPA and the IRS. We cannot afford to lose the Supreme Court for generations to come by nominating or confirming someone that a dealmaker like Donald Trump would support. Washington dealmakers cannot be trusted with such crucial lifetime appointments."

Cruz, who is trailing Trump in the Republican presidential race, made his claim about Trump without any evidence, and his campaign didn’t provide any response to our request for evidence.

Is That really a lie by Cruz? speculation yes.. but until Trump actually nominates a Supreme Court Justice we will never know what type of judge he will nominate... unless you just take him at his word,.. and ignore all his past actions.

you have to remember.. Trump tried to use the courts to evict an old lady.. eminate domain for privat profit..

Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005)[1] was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another private owner to further economic development. In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified private redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

Majority and concurring

On June 23, 2005, the Supreme Court, in a 5–4 decision, ruled in favor of the City of New London. Justice Stevens wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.

not exactly the court I would support... let alone try to make money off of.. but Trump did

SCOTUS ruled that way because there was no State Statute prohibiting that type of Eminent Domain. Many states quickly folllowed suit and enacted them. Kelo is as good as over.

He's not the first developer to try it. And won't be the last. I have nothing against it if the owner gets paid well for it. I bet that old lady's family wishes she had taken the first offer. She was ridiculous about it.

Is the Keystone pipeline for private profit?
