The Donald J Trump BS thread version 31.4 updated (in memorium)

[Charmonium]

Conflict of Interest is going to be Trump's Achilles heel.

I guess Trump met with the IT "Titans" and tagging along was Ivanka and her weird brothers.

why were they there? Where they representing Trump's business? US business?

Also - I guess Trump's son was busy interviewing possible cabinet members (Interior Secretary position.) Again, that strikes me as a conflict of interest in the extreme.

I wonder what those interview questions were....maybe something along the lines of how sweet will the kickbacks be to Trump companies and Trump business interests?

I nominate this for one of Trump's BS. The conflict of interest lines are really blurry at the moment, maybe that will change after he takes office.

It's not just conflicts. Unless he divests, he will be in violation of the emoluments clause on day one. As long as he retains any sort of ownership interest in his business, and that includes continued ownership by his family which will simply be ownership by proxy, he's in the position of accepting compensation from a variety of foreign governments.

And we all know that Trump isn't going to divest. We also know that a Republican Congress isn't going to do jack about the conflicts. So what will probably happen is that Trump will be inundated by law suits on behalf of his competitors for using the unfair advantage of his office to extract concessions from foreign governments.

Eventually this is going to be such a profound distraction that something meaningful will have to be done, either divestiture or impeachment.

Healthiest person ever elected to the office of President or some other similar bullshit

Saying it without the complete health records of all past newly elected presidents would be complete bullshit but it was his doctor. Seems everyone who gets in close proximity to The Donald catches bullshititus. Notice how all his surrogates are good at denying reality. I suspect Obama was in better shape in 08 then Trump now.

updated with seventh entry. Feel free to include things I miss. I will update the title where appropriate.

updated with eighth entry. This guy has turned lying into a daily art form. Well at least a weekly one.

Eighth entry 08-Jan-2017 Trump makes claim from FBI Russian hacking report that are not true.

A declassified version of a US intelligence report on Russian hacking did not state whether the Kremlin's campaign to discredit Hillary Clinton affected the outcome of the election.

Yet President-elect Donald Trump said in a statement Friday after his meeting with intelligence officials that "there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election."

updated with ninth entry. and the shit storm continues. More lies then truth

Ninth entry 12-jan-2017 Trump denied he was briefed on the dossier that included tapes with him and Russian hookers. Comey said he briefed Trump in person. Another fvcking lie.

Trump's meeting with Comey was reportedly on Friday. The 35-page report was declassified afterward. The reports contradict claims by Trump’s transition officials that intelligence officials never briefed Trump on the addendum to the classified report. The dossier was reportedly prepared by a former British intelligence officer. Trump has slammed the unsubstantiated findings as "fake news"

When you update the thread can you put the updates on both the first post and in your reply? It just makes it easier to follow. Thanks

Wouldn't it be easier to just list the things Trump is honest about? I mean, I don't think you would even need a thread for those.

If you listed all the things he's honest about, it would be shorter than any of The Donald's Tweets.

Sean Spicer in press conference claimed Inaugural crowd was biggest of all time. There are enough sources I don't have to link. Day 1 starts out lying

I think you're going to regret your numbering scheme. It's day 2 and you're at version 11.1. It's like FireFox all over again.

Well, I will say this. Those who voted for Trump for EXACTLY what was expected by everyone. Do as far as picking a candidate who stays true to their character (however flawed) they for EXACTLY what they wanted. Just don't start threads trying to backtrack and blame liberals for Trump. Y'all need to OWN and be PROUD of whatever happens the next four years.

I'd expect far more "ducking" in an autocorrected drunk post.

I was going to start a thread of times he's said he was wrong and apologized to the wronged party, but my keyboard broke. Had to pull out a spare and promise not to waste its time.

Twelfth entry 23-Jan-2017. Trump makes another bullshit claim that illegals voting are responsible for the popular vote difference without a shred of evidence.

Related to the last entry, they'd all have been for Clinton. All of them.

[dali71]

Are you including most of his campaign promises as BS or is this going forward?

Democrats = mass psychosis? LOL... you do realize that Trump has backed out of most of his campaign promises, ie drain the swamp, wall, muslims, etc etc. These were what he promised to the people who voted for him and he lied, about all of them. Please don't make me feel worse about humanity by telling me this is either OK or say that is not what is happening.

Look at the campaign promises that he has already started to honor today. He's going to put our country first and make things better for all of us, whether you like him or not!

Can you explain what you gain via his policy choices?

Or alternately do you see yourself as sacrificing for the whole country to benefit?

Deserves a minor entry. Votes are secret so no way Trump would know this. Thx

My favorite thread
The OP needs cleaning up though. Bold the # and date of each new entry. Maybe Bullet point them or use "1)" instead of "first entry"
The list is going to get LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG so we need it easily readable
