Fake News Washington Post Lies In Claim That Trump Told 15 Lies A Day In 2018

The fake news industry has gotten very sophisticated in its efforts to oppose the freely-elected President of the United States. It’s not enough just to lie about Trump, the Washington Post is using lies about the President to “prove” he’s a liar. If that seems confusing it’s because that’s how the WaPo wants it because simply reporting the truth goes against their narrative. In the whopper of all lies the lefty rag is claiming that President Trump told an average of 15 lies every single day in 2018. The truth is more like he said 15 things every day that they don’t like.

It’s unlikely that Trump even said 15 things a day period, let alone 15 lies, but here’s how The Washington Post saw it:

When 2018 began, the president had made 1,989 false and misleading claims, according to The Fact Checker’s database, which tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president. By the end of the year, Trump had accumulated more than 7,600 untruths during his presidency — averaging more than 15 erroneous claims a day during 2018, almost triple the rate from the year before.

The WaPo doesn’t give any specific instances of lies Trump told in 2018, which seems weird since they claim he dropped 7,600 of them. They make vague references to some things they think were not true, but don’t give Trump’s exact words or the reasons why they weren’t true. Instead they rely on the results of polls that suggest more people think Trump lies than believe he tells the truth.

Then there is this stunning bit of proof of Trump’s lies:

Trump exaggerates when the facts are on his side.

Fact-check: when the facts on our your side that means you are not lying.

The article did include a link to the WaPo’s “Trump’s Lies” Fact-checker database. Yeah, they actually keep track of everything they think he said was a lie, which is as Trump Derangement Syndrome as it gets. Actually, looking at what they classify as lies is somehow more TDS.

Trump wrote this in a tweet yesterday:

And here’s the WaPo figures it was a lie:

In trying to make the case for a high concrete border wall, Trump exaggerates about the Obama house in Washington, D.C. It is an 8,200 square foot Tudor-style home in the Kalorama residential area, but it is not a “compound.” The Obamas added security fencing to an enlarged retaining wall in front for the needs of the Secret Service but there is not a ten-foot wall around the house; the front steps are open to the sidewalk. Chain link fencing, but no wall, was added to the back. While Trump says the border wall would be a “slightly larger version” of the alleged Obama wall, he has previously described his proposed wall as 1,000 miles long, made of precast concrete slabs, rising 35 to 40 feet in the air.

As you can see, the Obamas’ house is not a compound like Trump claimed, so he’s a liar. Give me a break. They build up the barrier around their mansion to keep people out, which was Trump’s point.

This next one is even worse. Trump said this:

“Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally. They can’t. If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try!”

And the WaPo fact-checked something completely unrelated to what he said to call him a liar:

Families were separated because of a “zero tolerance” policy from the Trump administration dating to April 2018. No law, whether passed by Democrats or otherwise, required these separations. Trump signed an executive order to end family separations shortly after saying it couldn’t be done through an executive order.

Trump said nothing about separating families, he was blaming the recent deaths of immigrant children at the border on democrats. Somehow the WaPo gave Trump 4 Pinocchios for that one.

I found these two bogus “fact-checks” right at the beginning of the list. I don’t have the time to go through everyone one, but what are the chances any of them are genuine examples of Trump lying?

When Obama was president and told a lie, which was often, the liberal media would explain to us what he really meant to say, turning his bullshit into truth. Now that Trump is President, they take his truthful statements and turn them into lies with their own lies. The WaPo has redefined what a lie is to mean anything Trump says, which is a double-dose of dishonesty and why they are fake news.
