I thought it was a joke when I read a comment on the blog saying that Trump denied saying “Lock her up” during the 2016 campaign. That’s good one, I thought. Like saying that Trump denied saying that Mexico would pay for a border wall. No, he wouldn’t do that.
But it’s true. CNN’s fact-checker Daniel Dale wrote about the latest mammoth lie.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
why would he ever say that? The whole world saw him say Hillary was a crook for almost a full year as a politician. Who knows before that?
That he denied saying this is just another way he can rob time from more damning stories about him, which are legion.

Liars like Trump either believe their own lies, or because they have no moral restraints don’t regard lying as wrong.

One billboard. Six words:
“Mommy/Daddy, Who did you vote for?” (Look me in the eye and tell me who you voted for).
Add up all the crimes, lies, cheating, verbally abusive attacks, disgusting comments, his ‘policies,’ his victim complex, blame mentality…
Maybe millions of people can push all that aside and vote for him – BUT NOW one day the kids will ask “Daddy/Mommy, Who did you vote for?” And, if the answer is trump…
“Mommy/Daddy, you told us to be good and follow the rules in school and people shouldn’t break laws. Isn’t he a criminal? Didn’t he break the law? Those are the bad guys, right?”
Maybe not before, but now, the kids are watching.
Pretty simple: No kid walks out the door to go to school thinking it’s ok to get in trouble, to break rules… or break laws.” The ones who do know they crossed the most simple to complex line.
It’s not an opinion. It’s not grey. It’s a big thick unappealable line. All the other heinous actions of this guy may be the stuff of editorials. Guilty on 34 charges is undeniable news.
Pretty simple litmus test Can you look your kid in the eye and tell him/her who you voted for?
(And, in Missouri, just add “Mom/Dad, Why don’t Hawley (and the rest) think he did anything wrong (And cheer on protesters with blood on the Capitol steps)? Did you vote for them?)

The bubble that is Trump’s world is whatever the traitor and malignant narcissist wants it to be. He says stuff all the time that he denies saying hours, days, months or years later.
I heard him say during the presidential debates in 2016 that he’d never been bankrupt. I fact checked that during the debates because I recalled from news decades earlier that he’d gone bankrupt over his casino hotels.
Still, if the traitor says he didn’t do it, or didn’t say it, he didn’t, because he’s referring to alternative facts, the facts he prefers instead of documented history. Traitor’s Trump’s bubble is an alternative universe only his MAGA cult believes in.
Alternative facts as a term in place of lies was coined by Kellyanne Conway as a way of spinning the traitor’s endless lies into an alternative reality.
Trump says he has a great memory.
Then he cannot remember anything in court or claims the 5th.
Trump’s ‘great’ memory draws fire in Trump U deposition – POLITICO
How many times has trump claimed he isn’t guitly of anything?
How many times has Trump claimed the 5th? 400+ times
Hillary never claimed the 5th in the endless investigations the Republican held that never found any evidence.
Someone who isn’t guilty doesn’t need to claim the 5th to avoid answering questions.
Someone who doesn’t have anything to hide about his tax forms, has no reason to keep them secret.

I watched a clip of the interview. It was sickening to watch the 3 Fox lackeys ask about “lock her up.” Of course he said, oh no I don’t remember saying that. Then CNN showed about 4 clips in which Trump shouted and led his cultist to say lock her up. Do you recall that Michael Flynn led the audience at rallies with the loc her up chant. It was disgusting.

Trump is a pathological liar. He cannot speak on any subject without lying about it. When he passes, I think that his tombstone should be erected on the world’s tackiest minigolf course and should read,
Here lies Donald Trump.
But that’s nothing new.

Over the past few years, I have invented a lot of names for Trump only to see these come around to me again on the internet. Some might be independent invention. A lot are, I suspect, simply viral spread–the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon being the operative phenomenon.

Donald Trump is literally insane. Often, insane people take up a lot of oxygen. They are extreme, and they garner attention because of this. It’s shocking that this man might be president AGAIN. When he spoke to the United Nations, which he did more than once, the delegates actually LAUGHED AT HIM. I do not remember this happening with any other president in my lifetime, even with the ludicrous Shrub. But, ofc, this pair weren’t/aren’t just laughable. They were/are dangerous. Donald Trump should not be on a debate stage with Joe Biden. He should be in an institution for the criminally insane. This addled man (I use the term man loosely) needs meds other than snorted Adderall.

In 2018, our supposed “Justice System” locked up more people, and at a higher percentage per capita, than did any other on Earth. At present, we are sixth in the world, among 195 nations. But that system incarcerates, overwhelmingly, poor people of color. There is a different system for rich white career criminals like Donnie Trump. Call it the “Just Us System.”

I believe Trump is suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia. The Daily Show showed videos of Trump saying about Hillary, “Lock her up!”
Of course, loyal MAGA idiots don’t even believe videos.
