The New York Times attempts to catalogue every lie that Donald Trump has told since taking office.

Here is a sample courtesy of the NYT: 

JAN. 21 “I wasn't a fan of Iraq. I didn't want to go into Iraq.” (He was for an invasion before he was against it.)
JAN. 21 “A reporter for Time magazine — and I have been on their cover 14 or 15 times. I think we have the all-time record in the history of Time magazine.” (Trump was on the cover 11 times and Nixon appeared 55 times.)
JAN. 23 “Between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused me to lose the popular vote.” (There's no evidence of illegal voting.)
JAN. 25 “Now, the audience was the biggest ever. But this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes. This crowd was massive.” (Official aerial photos show Obama's 2009 inauguration was much more heavily attended.)
JAN. 25 “Take a look at the Pew reports (which show voter fraud.)” (The report never mentioned voter fraud.)
JAN. 25 “You had millions of people that now aren't insured anymore.” (The real number is less than 1 million, according to the Urban Institute.)
JAN. 25 “So, look, when President Obama was there two weeks ago making a speech, very nice speech. Two people were shot and killed during his speech. You can't have that.” (There were no gun homicide victims in Chicago that day.)
JAN. 26 “We've taken in tens of thousands of people. We know nothing about them. They can say they vet them. They didn't vet them. They have no papers. How can you vet somebody when you don't know anything about them and you have no papers? How do you vet them? You can't.” (Vetting lasts up to two years.)
JAN. 26 “I cut off hundreds of millions of dollars off one particular plane, hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time. It wasn't like I spent, like, weeks, hours, less than hours, and many, many hundreds of millions of dollars. And the plane's going to be better.” (Most of the cuts were already planned.)
JAN. 28 “The coverage about me in the @nytimes and the @washingtonpost has been so false and angry that the Times actually apologized to its dwindling subscribers and readers.” (It never apologized.)JAN. 29 “The Cuban-Americans, I got 84 percent of that vote.” (There is no support for this.)
JAN. 30 “Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage.” (At least 746 people were detained and processed, and the Delta outage happened two days later.)
FEB. 3 “Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” (There is no evidence of paid protesters.)
FEB. 4 “After being forced to apologize for its bad and inaccurate coverage of me after winning the election, the FAKE NEWS @nytimes is still lost!” (It never apologized.)
FEB. 5 “We had 109 people out of hundreds of thousands of travelers and all we did was vet those people very, very carefully.” (About 60,000 people were affected.)
FEB. 6 “I have already saved more than $700 million when I got involved in the negotiation on the F-35.” (Much of the price drop was projected before Trump took office.)
FEB. 6 “It's gotten to a point where it is not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it.” (Terrorism has been reported on, often in detail.)
FEB. 6 “The failing @nytimes was forced to apologize to its subscribers for the poor reporting it did on my election win. Now they are worse!” (It didn't apologize.)
FEB. 6 “And the previous administration allowed it to happen because we shouldn't have been in Iraq, but we shouldn't have gotten out the way we got out. It created a vacuum, ISIS was formed.” (The group’s origins date to 2004.)
FEB. 7 “And yet the murder rate in our country is the highest it’s been in 47 years, right? Did you know that? Forty-seven years.” (It was higher in the 1980s and '90s.)
FEB. 7 “I saved more than $600 million. I got involved in negotiation on a fighter jet, the F-35.” (The Defense Department projected this price drop before Trump took office.)
FEB. 9 “Chris Cuomo, in his interview with Sen. Blumenthal, never asked him about his long-term lie about his brave ‘service’ in Vietnam. FAKE NEWS!” (It was part of Cuomo's first question.)
FEB. 9 Sen. Richard Blumenthal “now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?” (The Gorsuch comments were later corroborated.)
FEB. 10 “I don’t know about it. I haven’t seen it. What report is that?” (Trump knew about Flynn's actions for weeks.)
FEB. 12 “Just leaving Florida. Big crowds of enthusiastic supporters lining the road that the FAKE NEWS media refuses to mention. Very dishonest!” (The media did cover it.)
FEB. 16 “We got 306 because people came out and voted like they've never seen before so that's the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan.” (George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all won bigger margins in the Electoral College.)
FEB. 16 “That’s the other thing that was wrong with the travel ban. You had Delta with a massive problem with their computer system at the airports.” (Delta's problems happened two days later.)
FEB. 16 “Walmart announced it will create 10,000 jobs in the United States just this year because of our various plans and initiatives.” (The jobs are a result of its investment plans announced in October 2016.)
FEB. 16 “When WikiLeaks, which I had nothing to do with, comes out and happens to give, they’re not giving classified information.” (Not always. They have released classified information in the past.)
FEB. 16 “We had a very smooth rollout of the travel ban. But we had a bad court. Got a bad decision.” (The rollout was chaotic.)
FEB. 16 “They’re giving stuff — what was said at an office about Hillary cheating on the debates. Which, by the way, nobody mentions. Nobody mentions that Hillary received the questions to the debates.” (It was widely covered.)
FEB. 18 “And there was no way to vet those people. There was no documentation. There was no nothing.” (Refugees receive multiple background checks, taking up to two years.)
FEB. 18 “You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?” (Trump implied there was a terror attack in Sweden, but there was no such attack.)
FEB. 24 “By the way, you folks are in here — this place is packed, there are lines that go back six blocks.” (There was no evidence of long lines.)
FEB. 24 “ICE came and endorsed me.” (Only its union did.)
FEB. 24 “Obamacare covers very few people — and remember, deduct from the number all of the people that had great health care that they loved that was taken away from them — it was taken away from them.” (Obamacare increased coverage by a net of about 20 million.)
FEB. 27 “Since Obamacare went into effect, nearly half of the insurers are stopped and have stopped from participating in the Obamacare exchanges.” (Many fewer pulled out.)
FEB. 27 “On one plane, on a small order of one plane, I saved $725 million. And I would say I devoted about, if I added it up, all those calls, probably about an hour. So I think that might be my highest and best use.” (Much of the price cut was already projected.)
FEB. 28 “And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that.” (NATO countries agreed to meet defense spending requirements in 2014.)
FEB. 28 “The E.P.A.’s regulators were putting people out of jobs by the hundreds of thousands.” (There's no evidence that the Waters of the United States rule caused severe job losses.)
FEB. 28 “We have begun to drain the swamp of government corruption by imposing a five-year ban on lobbying by executive branch officials.” (They can't lobby their former agency but can still become lobbyists.)

That just gets us through February. There are many, many more on the list, and of course more coming out every single day.

It is obvious to me that the only logical way to move forward is to automatically assume that everything Donald Trump, or his administration, says is a lie.

This is beyond surreal.

    The most legal important lie was on January 20, 2017. The Oath of Office of the United States of America President. He lied. He is not the USA President. This asshole has lied his entire nasty life.

    2. He's not preserving, protecting or defending the Constitution. He's attacking, undermining and violating the Constitution.

    Nothing will make America greater than prosecuting those that commit treason, espionage, fake news against our country. We cannot believe or trust the republican party will prosecute our enemy. They gave up all morals, values and respect for the USA years ago. Only those that trust and believe in Our Constitution of the United States of America will move this country forward.

    THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA,
    ARE YOU PROUD HE'S REPRESENTING OUR COUNTRY?


    Trump has denigrated Democrats on numerous occasions, including a jab at Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the same interview: "She's a hopeless case. I call her Pocahontas and that's an insult to Pocahontas."

      Trump needs to have his mouth sewn shut by someone in our country. He's god awful in his asinine rhetoric!

    Almost every time he opens his mouth, he's lying. One possible exception, though, may be when he was bragging to Fox News about how his "lie" about having taped Comey during their conversations made Comey truthful in his subsequent statements. That was hilarious: Trump verifying Comey's memoranda, written statement and testimony to the intelligence committee while gloating about how smart he was.

    Trump invited SARAH PALIN, TED NUGENT and KID ROCK (some known to be racists) to the White House for dinner

    BUT BREAKS A 20 YEAR TRADITION

    Breaking with tradition, the White House under President Donald Trump did not host an iftar dinner, the meal Muslims eat to break their daily fast during Ramadan.

    The dinner, which has been often attended by prominent members of the U.S. Muslim community, began in 1996

      President Obama owes him NO apology. Trump owes President Obama one over the birther issue and all the bullshit he's currently pushing against President Obama.

      Trump needs to be arrested for treason, found guilty (which is is!) and executed!

      she already is, if we had cameras in the offal office we would probably see her engaging in activities on her daddy that would be outright pornographic in contrast to what monica lewenski did to bill who is not her daddy by the way.

    New York Times:
    Give Me a Chance,’ Trump Associate-Turned-Housing-Official Says

    Lynne Patton shakes her head and sighs when she thinks about the New York Daily News front-page story that called her “The Wedding Scammer” and led many people across the country to ridicule her as the Trump family wedding planner turned federal housing official.

    “I am close to the Trump family. I am loyal to the Trump family, and they are trying to embarrass the Trump family any chance they get,” Ms. Patton, 44, said Sunday in her first interview since being appointed head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s New York and New Jersey office.... 

    After The Daily News reported two weeks ago that Ms. Patton, a longtime Trump family associate who worked on the president’s campaign and helped plan his son Eric’s wedding, would be tapped for the role, housing advocates and elected officials criticized the appointment. Most said Ms. Patton was not qualified for the job: She had no housing experience before she became the department’s senior adviser and director of public engagement for the housing secretary, Ben Carson, several months ago. Representative Grace Meng, Democrat of New York, even wrote a letter to the president demanding Ms. Patton’s immediate removal....

    1. Someone needs to tell the wedding planner and the caddy that being "loyal" does NOT make you qualified for a high position in the Federal government.

      Of course, to Trump the ONLY qualification you need is loyalty.

      That's how we got Ben Carson.

    the ties that bind..." the loan is just the latest revelation of Trump’s extended links to Deutsche Bank and contributes to the allegations about the president's purported ties to Russia, both financially and politically."the fact that he has outstanding debt with a foreign entity doesn’t necessarily mean anything. But Deutsche’s recent scandal involving Russia does." a lawyer representing Kushner stated he wasn’t required to disclose the loan because the ethics office “clearly states that filers do not have to disclose as a liability a loan on which they have made a guarantee unless they have a present obligation to repay the loan.”
