It must be true. Because your president said it.
So why aren't you all overjoyed?

What? I got distracted after 'people'....

Oh yeah, gas in Niagara is now $1.15.9 per litre. Nope, now it's $1.30.9 per litre. Hang on, now it's $1.23.9 per litre. Wait, new PM, now that the carbon tax is gone it's only $1.32.9 per litre. Ah Shite, I'm going to Buffalo!

Trump "lies" or at best stretches the truth, or at worst... doesn't understand what he's saying sooo many times, but the funny thing is it's about stupid things. You look at gas... he went on saying a few states had gas at $1.99 a gallon... All the gas tracking apps have said thats false, not 1 state had it at that price. What really happened was raw gas, being imported was $1.99 a gallon when USA was buying it by the barrel... So he somehow misunderstood what he was being told...or tried to trick people into believing somewhere there was gas thats $2. source

The whole End ukraine war the day he's in office.... grocery prices will go down the day hes in office... He's pretty serious when he says those things... then months later when they dont happen, he just says it was harder than he thought it'd be.... the same thing he said when he was gutting obamacare and said he'd have a better plan his last term. He likes to embellish and overpromise a lot.

Is it a lie you care about? Probably not, but it's still a lie.

He said the biden admin was sending 50 million worth of condoms to hamas... then the next day it changed to 100 million. What he was talking about was the 68 million in USAID that was given to gaza to operate 2 hospitals.... Not a penny was spent on condoms, but "I canceled 100 million dollars of condoms" is a much better soundbite than "I canceled 100 million worth of medical aid".

He's said time and time again that Putin never started the war and it was zelensky.... That one is a pretty obvious lie, and whether you support US giving ukraine aid or not... or even support Zelensky, Trying to blame the war on the country thats being invaded is pretty shitty, and makes light of the thousands of civilians who are getting bombed by an invading country. Source 1 source of many... As he's said it dozens of times.

He said US banks arent allowed to do business in Canada... There are 16 US banks operating in Canada.... Thats more than Canadian owned banks. Source

He said the Canadian people want to become a 51st state.... I think all the boycotts against USA in Canada show otherwise.

He said Canada only does 4% of usa's business... When in fact its 17%, and grows year over year.


All of his tarrifs are tanking the stock market, Something everyone said would happen...something he even admitted would likelly happen, short term pain for long term gain... Then when he saw how bad it is... he started to blame biden and say this is bidens stock market... He posted on truth social about that, I don't feel like reading his posts but you can google it.

He knows a lot of people wont fall for his lies / mis truths... But he relies on un-educated people, or people who don't care to fact check him and says whatever he says to downplay things or deflect blame.


Do I think any politician is always truthful? I'm sure everyone of them have lied... Heck, when covid happened Canadian politicians / Medical directors knowingly lied about N95 masks being useless because they wanted to save them all for doctors... Everyone lies, it's just the amount of lies trump tells, and what he lies about thats baffling. It's stuff thats so easily fact checkable too, and over small things.

So...say you don't care about his lies, say theyre small ones that don't matter... But dont try to argue that he doesn't lie. It's become a theme that every news conference gets fact checked just to spot how many lies or misinformations he says... I believe washington posts (I know, you guys hate them) has 30,000+ lies tallied up so far. But even if you hate them.... Even if just 1% of those claims are true, thats still a lot of lies.


Below is an exert from politico - Shows biden was up there as well. So don't take this as me saying Trumps a filthy liar and the democrats are... every politicians lie, its in their blood, its how they got to be where they are... Thats why you should question everything and do your own research, don't just blindly believe what Trump, or the news says.


In his first 100 days, President Trump had 29 statements assessed by PolitiFact (17 false) compared to 12 statements from President Obama (1 false) and 4 statements from President Biden (2 false).

yes, Turkeys lay eggs.
now we just have to find a way to harness TDS as a power source, and we'd have an unlimited supply of energy.
I was referring to the fact that we're importing eggs from Turkey the country. Doesn't make sense that we would export eggs to Australia, if we have to import them from somewhere else due to lack of supply.
