View Full Version : Trump's Final Going-away Farewell Set Of Lies

Trump broke a two-day silence with reporters to deliver a brief statement filled with egregious falsehoods and smears about the election process.

He painted the election results so far as part of a broad conspiracy to deprive him of a second term by Democrats, election officials, and the news media.

“If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” Trump said today, a false statement for which he offered no evidence; instead, he listed a series of conspiracy theories.

He then listed a series of successful Republican wins on Tuesday and appeared unaware of the cognitive dissonance in saying that other Republicans had won while he lost as he claimed a plot to harm him.

True to form to the very end.

What he says is far more dangerous than what Trump does. Keep in mind his words have caused criminal murderous actions by his followers - Charlottesville, El Paso, Pittsburgh, Georgia, and more - all murders committed and encouraged by the words of Trump. Add dozens of violent criminal actions injuring innocent people - all inspired by Trump's words.

So, yes, I will judge Trump by his words - we all should do the same.

The nightmare is (almost) over.


What Trump supporters are painfully slow to learn is that Character is Destiny.


A man who lies all the time isn't going to keep his promises.


A man who steals from his own charitable foundation cannot be trusted.


A man who cheats contractors and employees out of money owed to them is a crook.


A man who has cheated on all three wives is a terrible husband and father.


A man who has over 20 women coming forward with varying degrees of sexual assault is despicable.


A man who knows a deadly airborne virus is killing thousands of Americans and calls it a Democratic hoax is unfit to lead. Despite the deadly airborne virus Trump continued to hold maskless rallies. He has a reckless disregard for human life never before seen in a President.

Hopefully, the Trump supporters will wake up and smell the coffee. In the meantime, (the next two months) the insanity of Trump may yet prove destructive. Even within the White House, Trump's aides are worried he will do something dangerous.

It's not over yet.

NYC despised Trump - from his playboy days in the 70s to today. In 2016 and 2020 the voters overwhelmingly voted against Trump. Something like 80-20 against. An enormous spread for a local boy. Even Queens, his home borough where he grew up totally rejected Trump.

. In 2016 and 2020 the voters overwhelmingly voted against Trump. Something like 80-20 against. When was the last time NYC went overwhelmingly for a repub? At any rate, it wasn't quite as bleak as you suggest. "But the results, while consistent among four boroughs, nearly flip-flopped between Clinton and Republican nominee (and now president-elect) Donald Trump on Staten Island. There, Trump secured the majority with 57 percent of the vote and Clinton getting 40 percent. In Queens, the borough where Trump grew up, 20 percent of voters showed their support for the businessman."

Biden, as I understand it, wants to increase taxes on the wealthy in order to promote "fairness", as evidently the top 20% of income earners paying 87% of fed income taxes while the bottom 50% only pay 3% is somehow not fair enough. Perhaps by a near miracle that will result in an additional 400 bil in tax revenues. The dem Congress, having learned nothing from their losses in the election, will propose Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, though they will call them something else due to those terms having developed some bad vibes. No one has any idea what the bill will be, but an additional 2 to 4 trillion dollars a year sounds reasonable. This will be on top of the 3 tril or so economic package designed to stimulate an economy that was already recovering nicely and needs no stimulus. So we can anticipate a completely unprecedented budget deficit next year of many trillions of dollars, which in a sane world would blow our minds, but in the brave new world of liberal dems will sound very normal. It all has "Impending Doom" written all over it, but liberal dems on this site will still rejoice since the man they absolutely loved to hate will be out of office, and that's what it was really all about.

Good luck to all of us.


NOT free universal health careThere is no such thing as "free" health care. It is much more accurate to call it "Borrowed Money Healthcare".

I'm not trying to insult you.

And if we continue to allow these crooked, despicable pols to get away with it, then we are as dumb as they are. No one here would borrow money to give to charity, but that's what you expect our govt to do in our name. That is not sound thinking.

If we want it, then let's pay for it. To put it on the backs of our children and grandchildren is the most cowardly, sickening, pathetic approach to government I can possibly imagine. It is a game of fantasy that will have terrible consequences.

HOWEVER, they are spending our tax money, and then they are borrowing out the wazoo as well, and this coming year has all the potential to be a nightmare in that regard. Now if a person cares nothing about the future, then that plan is fine, but if you want to leave a bright future for your children and grandchildren, then you cannot ignore this.

Everything you say is true, but the now-dismissed-toddler-in-chief supporters will come back with decrying the increase in the national debt because of such an "unfair" tax burden or spending or whatever the reason du jour happens to be.

However, they always fail to note that the debt has INCREASED enormously under Trump and the Republicans, even before the pandemic. Much of Trump's increase has been the result of his massive reduction in taxes for the wealthiest people in the nation.

Municipal bonds are for set periods and get paid back in the same sense that you pay your house mortgage, and they are generally used to fund special projects like schools or road construction. The feds use it simply to fund day to day operations, and no one pretends that they plan on paying back the fed debt. It's borrowed money on which they merely pay interest. That's why fed debt, as a percentage of GDP, has risen from around 30% in 1980 to its current 136% and rising fast. It's your kind of excuse making that must stop before the public will get the courage, if it ever does, to force a stop to it. It is cowardice on an enormous scale on our parts. We want to spend the money without paying the taxes. All gain and no pain for today and the heck with tomorrow.

The explosion of debt over the past forty years is unprecedented, and deficit spending every year, year after year, is now considered the norm. The next four years are going to be disastrous in that regard. Neither party is willing to take a stand for fiscal sanity, and no one seems to believe that having a plan to pay for new expenditures has any real importance.

Please elaborate given this is hardly good economic times for everybody and a pandemic rages on. Aren't you ignoring the plight of the sick and dying and poor? One way to pay for stuff is growing the economy through stimulus spending such as we did during the bank and auto bailouts and shovel ready projects which yield not just a profit but created jobs and infrastructure improvements.

Always an excuse to engage in deficit spending. We have never had debt this high, not even in WW2, so I'll just say it again. Any adult who makes excuses for this foolishness just doesn't care one whit about his/her children or grandchildren.

As to the unemployed, there are about 13 million of them. We could write each one a check for 15 thousand dollars each, and only spend about 200 billion dollars. The idiot dems in Congress want to spend 15 times more than that. It's all lunacy.


Maybe you can argue the Biden tax increase proposals insufficient, but I would argue the Repub tax cuts as excessive.Neither one made much difference. Trump's tax cuts amounted to about 25% of his deficits, and Bidens' tax increases, though it is still early to say, will cover perhaps 10 to 20% of his deficit. Revenues are not the problem, it's absolute runaway spending that has no constraints at all.

Perfect link - and from Forbes! Trump is the all-time master of deficit spending and debt. His denial is just another form of his gaslighting which, apparently, is working here on AMHD.

Say hello to my friend Google.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjo...h=6ea97c5a4819 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2020/02/01/trumps-deficits-are-racing-past-obamas/?sh=6ea97c5a4819)Rather strangely missing (not really) from your article is any evidence supporting your false allegation that Trump ran up 7 tril in debt in only four years. Your own article clearly puts the figure at about half of what you suggested.

Put the saliva back on. You'll need to do a lot better than that.


The Federal deficit is forecast to be 4.6% of GDP in fiscal 2020 while the economy’s real growth rate is a projected to be 2.2%. This growth rate is in-line with the economy growing at essentially 2.1% the last three quarters (https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2020/02/01/trumps-economic-growth-is-slower-than-obamas-last-3-years/#79be18b64fed).
As shown in the two graphs below, since 1970 the only times, until now, that the deficit has been above 4% of GDP is when there has been a recession.
That was laughable. The economy contracted enormously in the second quarter. Trump proposed economic stimulus that was about half of what Pelosi wanted to do, so to blame this on Trump is sheer partisanship. But I would completely agree that Trump and the House should not have run deficits in his first three years. He followed Obama's lead in doing so, and that was an enormous mistake.

The dufus debt would have surely risen, maybe doubled given 4 more years.

So if Biden's deficits are doubled, will you be critical of that, or is your standard simply based on partisanship, so it's only bad when Trump does it?

As you have said many times deficit spending during good times is stupid and until covid that's what the dufus did after he claimed the greatest economy ever after being handed a healthy economy.

Given the economy and covid situation Biden has been handed, don't see much choice but to add to the debt, but we'll see won't we.

(Please let me answer that one!!! Please, please!!)

Biden has been given an economy that is rapidly recovering and will continue to do so unless he completely botches it. A vaccine will be ready by the end of the year, exactly as Trump has said, so Biden is stepping into a pretty good situation. It will all work out if he doesn't overreact and blow the whole thing.

Like the dufus did as rising infections hospitalizations deaths and lingering effects of the recovered sweep the nation? Refrigerator trucks behind hospitals is not a good sign.

The economy is rapidly recovering because Biden has been elected president.

Who cares about the third quarter!

***U.S. stock index futures pointed to a sharply higher open on Monday after President-elect Joe Biden was declared the winner in a highly contentious election.

Although the President has not conceded and there was concern regarding legal challenges, prominent Republicans, including former President (George W.) Bush in essence publicly called the election and the market has embraced the election results too," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.

"The market is up and it looks as if we're going to continue."***

Who cares about the third quarter!34% annual growth in GDP during the third quarter, which is fantastically good. If Biden ever does that, make sure to let us know.

The only boost to the market is the knowledge that the democrats will stupidly spend three tril on a stimulus program that we don't need. Short term gain is the deal there.
