View Full Version : Trump's Weird Lies On ABC-TV

It was not simply that President Trump resorted to obvious lies at the ABC News town hall Tuesday night, or that he was rude and ineffective in addressing the terrific, substantive questions from real, undecided voters. His campaign’s bigger worry is that he came across as confused, lost and incoherent. He really should not have gone down the road of challenging his opponent’s mental acuity.
FALSE CLAIMS
He "up-played" the pandemic.
The USA mortality rate was "something to be envied".
He claimed (bizarrely) we had no ventilators at the beginning.
Biden called the Chinese ban xenophobic.
Claimed credit for passing the Veteran's Choice Program.
Claimed he had the best economy in history.
Criticized Biden for failing to enact a nationwide mask mandate. Biden is not the president.
Denies trying to repeal pre-existing conditions.
Claims he has a health plan. Claim is now three years old with no plan in sight.
Other news:
Trump supports QANON candidates. QANON is the movement that promotes the Dems are kidnapping and eating children for their blood. The "Deep State" is doing this, and Trump is coordinating the opposition and will soon rise to expose the evildoers. I didn't make this up - google it.
Caputo bails to "spend more time with his family".
Trump's presidency is more fantastic than Alice in Wonderland.

The day after Trump announced the travel restrictions on China, Biden tweeted (https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1223727977361338370?s=20) that “We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”

Even his travel ban of China and Europe is bogus, too little too late and it still got here, spread and killed people. The worst response in the world and likely to get much worse. Now if he had rallied the country behind a common cause with the truth instead of perpetrating lies and deceit, with this herd "mentality" pushed by his handpicked wackos we might not lead the world in sickness and death and had better option than more sickness and death.

The worst response in the world and likely to get much worseHyperbole on steroids. Given the responsibility of warding off the virus without blasting the economy, I think he did pretty well. This Monday morning quarterbacking by people who supported a total non-performer like HC is really a sight to see.

He's now depending on "herd mentality" (sic) to solve the COVID pandemic. Even without a vaccine, he says. The mathematics for herd immunity (!) figures out to between 2,000,000 and 6,000,000 dead. The man is not only an idiot, he's a friggin' mass murderer wannabee. November 3 can't come too soon.

How did Biden do at his townhall? Oh wait. That's right. He generally doesn't come out of his basement, and he's afraid to face tough questions. Once he gets out and has to do so, his lack of mental ability will, I think, become painfully obvious. He is scared to face it all.

Not counting the hundreds of millions sick. It's an admittedly tough situation during an election year and extreme weather screwing up peoples lives and a lot for anyone but the truth would be nice about the reality of the challenges we face. We sure can't rise to the challenge fighting each other.

When your opponent is screwing up, just let him. Politics 101.As known as cowardice. And to be fair, if I was Biden and I knew I was far past being able to think on my feet, I would avoid interviews as well. The debates will likely make it all very clear.
It's an admittedly tough situation during an election yearThat's a fair statement.

Biden has probably forgotten more about governing than the dufus will know and I'm betting he still has enough gas in the tank to be far more effective at uniting us behind a common goal than the dufus who has one goal, mo money, mo power, and mo for him.

This is what passes for a Biden press conference. Don't be delusional. How different it is compared to Trump routinely going into the lion's den.

it still got here, spread and killed people. omg you think anyone could've prevented a virus from reaching the US ? As for the town hall . Trump went into the lion's den . Do you think Quid will get the same treatment at CNN ? lol . I dare Quid to even take friendly questions from some of Fox hosts like Bret Bair or Chris Wallace . I know he would fall flat on his face with town hall questions with Brit Hume serving the 'fact checker ' role that Clintonista George Snuffalapolis did in the ABC event ,so I won't even suggest it .

Trump LIVES for his rallies attended by little dufusettes, all screaming like banshees, ignorant of the wider world. His one trip into a Town Hall was an unmitigated disaster. Herd mentality, anyone?

I'm guessing that Biden is going to skip the debates. It would be his only hope if he expects to win. Same reason an old man doesn't walk around with his shirt off. Lots of negative, but no positive.

Nice spin and an effective strategy if indeed it was scripted, at least Biden stays on script.

nothing compares to the 1st time historic drive in town hall Quid will have with a hat tip going to Anderson Cooper who will ask such hard hitting questions as :"don't you think Trump lies a lot ?"
Tough choice for TV viewing tonight . Quid's town hall ; Browns v Bengals ,or Schitt's Creek on Netflix .

Thank goodness Biden has never implemented a national mask mandate or Trump would have to wear one!
Trump, 09/15/20: "When Churchill was on the top of a building, and he said everything's going to be good, everything's going to be — be calm. And you have the Nazis dropping bombs all over London. He was very brave because he was at the top of a building. It was very well known that he was standing on buildings, and they were bombing. And he says everyone's going to be safe."
Trump, 09/15/20: "And you'll develop — you'll develop herd, like a herd mentality. It's going to be — it's going to be herd-developed, and that's going to happen. That will all happen."
Trump, 09/15/20: "I have [a healthcare plan] all ready, and it's a much better plan for you, and it's a much better plan," (Trump has been promising a plan for years and has yet to release it.)
Trump, 09/15/20: Everyone is "doing well," since "stocks are owned by everybody."
Trump, 07/22/20: "Person, man, woman, camera, TV."

Ah, I just googled it -- sounds exciting! A unique presentation! (No "herd mentality"....) who is asking the questions ? It won't be the people in the drive in . It will be filtered questions with Anderson Cooper acting as a quasi "fact checker " .
I don't think you will hear these questions .
Does your position on abortion agree with abortion on demand up until conception and if needed paid for by the government ; OR do you support the Hyde Amendment like you did for most of your public life ?
You talk about your Catholic faith ;something very important to voters in much of the state of your birth Pennsylvania . Yet you say you will continue to support emperor policies suing Catholic charity groups like 'Little Sisters of the Poor ' who refuse to pay for birth control ? Do you believe in religious liberty ?
You support a carbon tax ;called for the end of fracking ,and would force a green energy agenda on the people of Pennsylvania and the United States . You embrace All Out Crazy and her Green agenda .You said your goal is “a 100 percent clean-energy economy and net-zero emissions no later than 2050” .How can you do that without restricting affordable fossil fuels ,and banning fracking ? What is it ? Do you support a fracking ban or not ?
During the campaign you supported the defund the police movement . Recently you flip flopped on that issue too . Which is it ?
You want to return to the emperor's Title 9 directives that denied due process to men accused of sexual misconduct .But you got the presumption of innocence when Tara Reade accused you of assault. Shouldn't you be held to the same standard that you support ?
You were the main mover of the 1994 sentencing laws . You have flipped on that . You were in favor of the Defense of Marriage Law until late in the emperor's reign. You supported the Iraq law before you were against it . You supported freezing Social Security increases . You changed positions on NAFTA .You changed positions on busing . I'm sure if I thought hard enough I could find more . Please tell us the positions you supported throughout your public life that you still support today .
More than one Dem has suggested that if you don't win an electoral win that you will challenge and not recognize a Trump victory . Will you pledge now that you will accept the results of the Electoral College even if you win the popular vote ?
