Here’s a big fat lie that Trump just told in the last 24 hours. Problem no worse than what he does in any 24 hour period, but you still have to marvel at the sheer chutzpah of it: [Trump Recalls President Obama/Protester Incident Incorrectly | Donald J.

> [@LonghornDave](#): > > This is kind of where I am. Trump isn’t really lying. He’s just wrong on all the facts. A lot of the times he is wrong because he massively exaggerates something, so in fact what he says may contain a kernel of truth. Other times he distorts the truth in a ridiculous way. > > He’s kind of like a regular person in that he is incredibly biased and he only listens to things that support his preconceived notions, and on top of that forgets most of the details. Add in his other attributes and that makes him a very dangerous person. At this point, he knows what he’s saying is false. He knows he supported the Iraq invasion. He knows he’s met Putin. He knows he suggested giving Korea and Saudi Arabia nuclear weapons. He knows he’s put his charity’s money in his own pocket. He knows Hillary’s not advocating open borders. He knows her plan won’t raise taxes on the middle class. And he damn sure knows he sexually assaulted those women. ---
