President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

What fact-checking might look like.

Analysis | President Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims in 558 days

Muh ethics in journalism! is so Gamergate

 

Gosh, it would so be out of character for Trump to use the N word!

 

what on earth are you complaining about? His base will freaking love this! If there is actual proof, and the deplorables actually hear him say it, his numbers are going to skyrocket.

 

Based on what?

Has anyone ever said they heard him say the word?

If he said it on the set of the Apprentice even, how come no one has come forward, on the record, saying so?

People who have worked with him, and had acrimonious splits from him, haven't made the claim. His ghost writer -- who hates him -- hasn't claimed it.

If this was "in his character" you'd think there's be some evidence that he's said it.

 

A-hem.

He is really very openly super racist. That's what's on The Apprentice tapes, I would guess. And people like Mark Burnett don't want them released because they never pushed back when Trump said something awful. They laughed or groaned or whatever, and they know that whomever was in the room with him those days will be cooked, and Trump won't be. Because his followers are racist, too.

I hope I'm wrong about the bolded part.

 

If he is caught on tape saying the N-word, not one of his supporters will change their minds about him, will they? They know he's racist already, and they're still there.

 

No, I was thinking more along the lines of Germany, Australia, Japan, Sweden, France, Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, Ireland, Belgium, etc. I'm not gonna enter a protracted debate with you, as that's nothing but a waste of time, instead I'll just drop a few links:

These 10 countries have the best quality of life
Where does the U.S. rank in this list of the 50 countries with the best quality of life?

Contrary to what some of our flag waivers want to believe, Americans do not live the best lives in the world. In fact, there's a rather lengthy list of nations whose citizens, on average, live better than we do. And they all do so under governments that successfully maintain universal health care systems without any walls "crumbling" down.

 

Does the copy and pasting of facebook memes and passing it off as your own words show your ability to think critically?

 

That's where the good high-merit immigrants are from.

 

You defended this hiring.

 

I bolded the important part for you.

 

Release the tapes or STFU.
