Trump lies so much we can't have thread about each of them. We can't even have a single thread combining all of them because nobody has that kind of time. I tried during the campaign but soon had to throw in the towel. I'm posting this one because of the level of egregiousness and the ultimate disrespect of our soldiers by lying about dead soldiers parents. Problem is basic math exposes this lie quickly.

Here's what he said

If you do the math these parents would have been between 102-111 years old. Makes his claim easily proven to be a lie. This is the same guy who claims taking a knee disrespects the troops. Who is he kidding? He doesn't give two shits about the troops. That's why he disrespected a gold star family and insulted a soldiers widow.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed the parents of Korean War soldiers asked for his help in returning the remains of their sons during the 2016 presidential campaign, but his assertion doesn't quite add up.

"One of the things that really I'm happy is that the soldiers that died in Korea, their remains are going to be coming back home," Trump said during a Fox News interview. "And we have thousands of people that have asked for that — thousands and thousands of people."

"So many people asked when I was on the campaign," Trump added. "I'd say, 'wait a minute, I don't have any relationship' — but they said, 'when you can, president, we'd love our son to be brought back home' — you know, the remains."

Can't fall into the trap of normalizing bad behavior. That's what he wants. Seem lying about dead soldiers deserves a mention on its own. I thought it was all about respect for them?

At this point, if Trump wanted to tour Dallas, TX California in an open car I would volunteer to drive.

U.S. Military Is Receiving 100 Caskets Today at the Demilitarized Zone Between the Two Koreas. They Will Carry HOME some of the Remains of Our U.S. HEROES Killed During the Korean War.

and that coward Obummer would not even bring home a soldier jailed in Mexico

Trump opened his mouth, thus he lied.

Absolute truths are absolute. But thanks for the heads up :D

This one isn't worth our time. I'd give benefit of the doubt, and believe he meant to say "families" instead of "parents". Yes, he's a habitual liar but gotta save the outrage for the ones that matter.

Amen, also to say that Trump doesn't give a shit about the troops only makes him look stupid when the guy cut 10% from other agencies to bolster the military budget and also proposed a new Space Force.

What is funny about it? Do you think it will make money or not, isn't that the question? We will need space engineers, software devs, and more physicists since future wars will be fought via the eyes in the sky. Hell even space colonism will be a financial boon, as well as obama's plan for mining asteroids. As long as it makes money and creates jobs I'm all for it.

It can if done properly. Trump is the only talking about making money here, the big fail of the Dems was to spend our way to oblivion without talking about balancing a checkbook. Trump isn't making that mistake, thank God.

Yeah. Its amazing that no one thought of some sort of national administration for aeronautics and space exploration before. :confused:

That's too intellectual, I guess you can shorten that to NASA, but who the fuck wants that brainy sounding acronym. Space force can be chanted, you know we gotta have a catchy chant...

You’re such a puppet. Pompeo said yesterday they have yet to return any but he’s hopeful they will. They moved 100 crates to the border in preparation hopeful bodies would be returned.

But way to use dead soldiers as props.

We have a space force it called the air force and they've been firing rockets into space for 50 years, what the hell do you think this is. And it will take a whole lot more than trump flapping his gums to make a entire new bloated agency. You think congress in our financials straight will let him do this? Think WALL.

And they keep ramping up their nuclear properties. Could have sworn Trump told me I could sleep better at night now that NK is "denuclearized"

I think he had to be trolling that statement.

The settlement of the North Korean nuclear problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Asia may find peace. This morning I had another talk with the North Korean lead, Kim Jong-un, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you: " ... We regard the agreement signed last night and the cessation of joint U.S. - South Korean military exercises as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again."

My good friends, for the second time in our history, an American President has returned from Asia bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.

- Neville Trump

The last line is unaltered from Chamberlain's speech. Actually, most of it is unaltered from Chamberlain's speech.
