Poppa,

That’s only because your side refused to work with him and stated as your party’s “primary goal” to “...make him a 1-term President.” Now, you still go after Obama and HRC when Trumpet wants takes all of the credit for everything good Obama initiated, in his poor efforts to try to deflect away from Trumpet’s Russian scandal.

Also, Trumpet has the WORST ratings of any president at this time in their term. Goes to show, the majority of people aren’t too thrilled to have him running the show. Only 38% of the population likes what Trumpet’s doing. In case you didn’t pass 2nd grade math, that means 62% don’t like him; that’s almost double the number who do. Seems like most of the people think
having Trumpet as president isn’t working, now.
Tag! You’re it!

Ever since Jeb Bush inferred Trumpet “has small hands,” Trumpet puts his “small hands” next to his crotch and mentally tries to compare them to what’s behind his zipper. In the mean time, he spews forth lies to cover and deflect away from what he knows to be the truth; other than his girth, Trumpet IS a small man. His hands do give away that truth.

It’s a similar situation to Trumpet’s tweet, today (1/2/2018), to “rocket man,” telling “rocket man” that Trumpet’s “nuclear button is bigger and more powerful” than “rocket man’s” is.

Even “rocket man” knows how to get under Trumpet’s skin; just metaphorically tease Trumpet about the size of his “manhood.” Trumpet will take the bait every time! It’s very funny to watch and read about!

With just 18 days before President Trump completes his first year as president, he is, now, on track to exceed 2,000 false or misleading claims, according to my database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.

As of Monday, 1/1/2018, the total stood at 1,950 claims in 347 days, or an average of 5.6 claims a day. As regular readers of non-biased news outlets know, the president has a tendency to repeat himself — often, and often, and often, ad-nausium. From tracking his comments, there are now more than 60 claims that he has repeated 3 or more times. The president’s impromptu 30-minute interview with the New York Times over the holidays, in which he made at least 24 false or misleading claims, included many statements that have been previously fact-checked. Currently, there is a tie for Trumpet’s most repeated claims, both made 61 times. Both of these claims date from the start of Trumpet’s presidency and to a large extent have faded as talking points.

One of these claims was some variation of the statement that the Affordable Care Act “... is dying ...” and “... essentially dead ... .” Countering Trumpet’s claims, the Congressional Budget Office just recently said that the Obamacare exchanges (despite its well-documented issues) are NOT imploding and are expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future. Indeed, healthy enrollment for the coming year has surprised health-care experts. Trumpet used to say this a lot, but he’s quieted down since his efforts to totally repeal the law have flopped.

Trumpet also repeatedly takes credit for events or business decisions that happened before he took the oath of office — or had even been elected. 61 times, he has touted that he secured business investments and job announcements that had been previously announced and could easily be found with a Google search.

With the just recent and totally partisan push in Congress to pass a tax plan, two of Trumpet’s favorite talking points about taxes — that the tax plan will be the biggest tax cut in U.S. history and that the United States is one of the highest-taxed nations — have rapidly moved up the list.

Trumpet repeated the falsehood about having the biggest tax cut 53 times, even though the Treasury Department data shows it would rank as the 8th largest. And, 58 times Trumpet has claimed that the United States has the highest corporate taxes (25 times) or that it is one of the highest-taxed nations (33 times). The latter is false; the former is misleading, as the “effective” U.S. corporate tax rate (what companies end up paying after deductions and benefits) ends up being around 10 points LOWER than the “statutory” tax rate. Bear in mind, too, some companies pay ZERO taxes. Can you say, “G.E.?”

Also tracked are the president’s flip-flops, as they are so glaring. He spent the 2016 campaign telling supporters that the unemployment rate was really 42 percent and the “... official statistics were phony;” now, on 46 occasions he has hailed the lowest unemployment rate in 17 years. It was already very low when he was elected — 4.6 percent, the lowest in a decade — so his failure to acknowledge that is misleading.

Also, 85 times, Trumpet has celebrated a rise in the stock market — even though in the campaign he repeatedly said it was, “... a bubble that’s ready to crash as soon as the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates.” Well, the Fed has raised rates 3 times since the election — and yet the stock market has NOT plunged as Trumpet predicted. Instead, it has continued a rise in stock prices that began under President Barack Obama in 2009. Again, Trumpet has never explained his shift in position on the stock market.

Moreover, the U.S. stock-market rise in 2017 was not unique and mirrored a global rise in equities. When looking at the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, it’s clear U.S. stocks haven’t rallied as robustly as their foreign equivalents. Yet Trumpet loves this claim so much that he has repeated it 28 times in 49 days — more often than every other day.

I maintain my database by closely reading or watching Trumpet’s myriad public appearances and television and radio interviews. The interviews are especially hard to keep-up with; in part because the White House does not routinely post them on its website. In fact, a recent redesign of the White House website appears to make it difficult to even locate transcripts of Trumpet’s remarks at the White House. So much for his claim about being, “... the most transparent presidency ever.”

This project originally started as a first-100-days database, but I’ve extended it to 1 year. I will soon have to decide whether or not to maintain it beyond 1 year, even though it strains my resources (and weekends).

Wolf,
The sad thing is that it’s you guys, his followers, who believe his lies. We know the difference between truth and lies. You don’t. You believe everything he says, no matter how outrageous and obvious his lies are. Hence, my post. Even more sad is that you, and the rest of Trumpet’s puppets, intentionally choose to deny the truth, even when it’s right before your eyes. Instead, you're eager to be duped into believing the “liar-in-chief.”

‘Why,” is anybody’s guess. I say it’s the worst case of misplaced hero-worship I’ve ever seen on such as mass scale. I honestly believe Trumpet could claim to be Christ, and it’s the 2nd coming, and the vast majority of his followers (perhaps, you included) would be just fine with his claim and defend him to the death.

Homey,
MY data base is one I built, myself. And, if you think I’m going to let someone, like you, have access to it so they can take credit for my work by putting it out there, you’re more crazy than I initially thought you were. Besides, all you’d do is try to claim my facts aren’t true. And, that’s all you could do, is “claim” them to be lies. Your side has shown themselves to work in just that way, for the past 25 years; claiming the truth to be lies. Then you try to replace them with your “alt-facts.” You’re a joke, Homey! A pure, unadulterated joke!

I know my facts are truthful and from everything you’ve ever posted, I can prove yours aren’t. Of course, when was the last time you even posted something that could be verified. You’re careful not to post anything with facts or figures. You’re content with already proven lies and innuendo.
