    Another irrelevant "whataboutism," the majority of those going to PR were of Latin descendant and the purpose of their travel was to attend a fund raiser for the people of PR still suffering from the hurricane

    Again just because people on the left believe everything they're politicians say doesn't mean everyone do.

    Im not keeping score, but I assume its false as it comes out of their mouths. The gauge I use is the amount of damage their lies directly cause me. I read his lips and ended up paying more taxes. I liked my insurance and my doctor, but my plan was eliminated and I had to pay 3 times more for the same coverage Medicaid patients receive. The list goes on, but I would have to say the Obamacare lie hurt my family the most.

    Lying is not an exclusive trait of one party. Anyone who trusts a political party or a politician is a fool. My list would need its own thread.

    I agreed with you and expanded your argument to include all it applies to. My simple position is that government power should be limited to an absolute minimum to minimize the damage their BS can cause.

    Not any person, the person you are attempting to defend by rationalizing what he says and does isn't any different than what other politicians say or do

    Never said it did, however, tough to deny that the current President has employed lying as a political vehicle in a manner that no one has seen to date, can't recall any President on his first day in office arguing that another million and half people were at his Inauguration than was reported in the media

    If limiting Government power is your concern I don't see how then you could be a disciple of Trump given he is on path to set a new record of Executive action

    Another one allowing their Trump paranoia to surface, read it again there "mac," I said it was a "good thing," and as far as cost to the taxpayer, nah, just pointing out the hypocrisy of conservatives who prior to 2016 told us fiscal conservatism was a major tenant of their ideology

    LOL! He said that he did not think he would play golf. He was clearly wrong about how much time it takes for a President to run the executive branch.
    Obama should have told him. ;-)

    Stop pretending you don't know what a Congressional junket i. There were nearly 4 lobbyists for every crooked pol. They were in PR for fun and sun while lining their pockets with special interest loot.

    “Media reports on government actions, whether debates, legislation, or regulation, almost always present them in terms of pure policy. New laws are for a specific purpose, perhaps even a noble one. But what if that isn't the real purpose of the exercise? What if politics is largely about fund-raising and moneymaking? The commercial motives of the Permanent Political Class in acting or not acting are rarely questioned and virtually never fully understood.” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, BuyVotes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013. p. 2, 3.

    How many of those lobbyist do you think were working for the hurricane victims? Hint: "Zero".

    I have serious issues with Trump, but I don't care about this at all.

    Actually, it is an awesome idea IF:

    The ONLY golf that Trump plays (from now on) is on the WH Simulator.

    It could save a lot of hard-earned taxpayer money (that he wastes on trips to outdoor golf courses).

    Well, the title of this thread is "TRUMP installs state of the art golf simulator" - when it was Obama who originally had it installed. So it's kinda hard to avoid labeling it as fake news.

    Q
    For real? One case where he spoke "untruthfully," "to convey a false impression," "an untrue statement," for real? You must be fall down drunk on the kool aid

    How about day one in office, when he proclaimed the media lied and there were another million plus people who attended his Inauguration, that his Inauguration crowd was bigger than Obama's?

    From there he is running about three or four a day

    I'm gonna go on a limb and say that being president is probably the most stressful job a person can do. If a little VR golf can take the edge off more power to him.

    IF I were the president, I'd have the airforce plop a simulator in the WH, and get some people to set up Elite Dangerous and loads of other games. I'd probably not be the best president.
