Donald, It's Time For Some New Material

"Lyin' Ted, I call him lyin' Ted."

"Little Marco is an "even bigger liar" than Cruz".

"Jeb Bush's lies are almost as bad as Cruz's."

"Ben Carson is a pathological liar".

"Hillary's whole life has been a lie. A big, fat, beautiful lie. Everything about her is a lie.”

Re: Donald, It's Time For Some New Material

It’s been a banner year for political whoppers — and for one teller of tall tales in particular: Donald Trump.

In the 12 years of FactCheck.org’s existence, we’ve never seen his match.

He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong.

(Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'? Sounds like Keep dudn't it?)

Re: Donald, It's Time For Some New Material

Here are some of the foul mouthed GOP front-runner’s boldest lies, according to the website:

Trump's Claim: Families of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had been living in the U.S. prior to that date. “The wife knew exactly what was happening. They left two days early … and they watched their husband on television flying into the World Trade Center, flying into the Pentagon."

Fact: No relatives of 9/11 hijackers had been living in the U.S. prior to the attacks. Trump was likely referring to Osama bin Laden’s family members, who were not known to have forewarning of the attack, and were evacuated by Saudi Arabia’s government nine days later for their safety.

Claim: Trump brought on controversy after refusing to disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who told listeners of his radio show to “get active” for Trump’s campaign. Although he later disavowed the group amid heavy scrutiny, Trump said during a report: “I don’t know anything about David Duke,” arguing he couldn’t disavow someone he knew nothing about. He repeated the assertion three times.

Fact: Trump not only has mentioned Duke in the past but actually repudiated him during a Bloomberg interview in August 2015. Fifteen years ago, when Trump was considering running for president as a Reform Party candidate, he named Duke a cause for concern. “Well, you’ve got David Duke just joined — a big racist, a problem. I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party,” he said. 

Claim: Footage from one of Trump's campaign ads shows dozens of people climbing over a border fence. Based on the context, one would have thought the footage was from the U.S.-Mexican border, as the narrator says of Trump: "He'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."

Fact: The footage is not from the southern U.S. border but actually some 5,000 miles away in Morocco. It aired May 3, 2014, on Italian television.

Claim: In October, Trump claimed that on 9/11, “there were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down"

Fact:
Not only was it not "well-covered," as Trump claimed during an interview, but Trump's campaign has been unable to provide evidence that any groups of Muslims were celebrating the attacks in New Jersey.

Re: Donald, It's Time For Some New Material

Wash. Post Fact Checker: Trump's "Easily Debunked" Lies Far Outpaced "Any Other Candidate['s]." When detailing "the biggest Pinocchios of 2015," The Washington Post fact checker singled out Donald Trumpexplaining that he had, "in particular ... kept [them] busy" as he earned more Four-Pinocchio ratings -- the most extreme rating the Post awards falsehoods -- "than any other candidate." The newspaper's fact checker noted that "most politicians drop a claim after it has been fact-checked as false. But Trump is unusual in that he always insists he is right, no matter how little evidence he has for his claim":

Re: Donald, It's Time For Some New Material

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.

The Swedish Whopper: Donald Trump's Long-standing Struggle With the Truth

The Republican presidential candidate wrote in his book 'The Art of the Deal' that his family was from Sweden. In fact, they were from the small German town of Kallstadt.
