This is such a strange thing to lie about

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/396630-trump-falsely-claims-for-third-time-that-reagan-didnt-win-wisconsin
“One of the states we won — Wisconsin — I didn’t realize this until fairly recently, that was the one state that Ronald Reagan didn’t win when he ran the board his second time,” Trump said during a press conference after the NATO Summit in Brussels.
“He didn’t win Wisconsin and we won Wisconsin,” he added.
This is the third time that Trump has reiterated the incorrect statement.
Reagan won the state in both 1980 and 1984. Minnesota was the only state he didn’t secure during the 1984 election.

This lie doesn't even crack the top ten of things he's lied about at the NATO summit though. Just thought it was an odd thing to lie about.

I don’t get this jab because no way he visited all

50 states, because he didn’t need to.
It happened something like this:
visited Ohio 10 times, PA 10 times, Michigan 10 times, Nevada 10 times, VA 10 times, NC 7 times = 57.
I think it’s above your head or something.

Is there a Democrat memo that said to label everything that Trump gets wrong a “lie”?
Jul 12, 2018, 12:32 PM
|

As in it’s not enough to portray him as an idiot, he must specificslly be deceitful.
Clearly his comment is incorrect, but I would just say he’s wrong, not that he’s lying.

Hmm, let's take this scenario

I have a dog, my dog is yellow.
Trump: Drewtigeralum has a green dog
Drewtigeralum: This isn't true, here is a picture of my yellow dog
Trump 2 weeks later: Drewtigeralum has a green dog.
Drewtigeralum: This isn't true, here is a picture of my yellow dog
Trump a month later: Drewtigeralum has a green dog.
At what point does he stop being wrong and start lying? I figure you can be wrong once, but this is an easily verifiable fact, and he keeps "getting it wrong". It does fit in nicely with his gaslighting strategy though.

Jul 12, 2018, 1:16 PM

the President’s ear is correcting him or he can’t seem to remember the correction. Which, you think is a defense of Trump, but actually is far more damning. But just seems more likely than a willful deception about something that gains him nothing and is easily fact-checked.
Besides, everyone who was around knows that Mondale has not carried Minnesota because it was his home state...and even then, the split was less than 1%.
Mondale also carried DC, I believe.

He says it for effect and moves on, sort of like a newspaper putting something on the front page and then a few days later printing a retraction. No one cares about the retraction.

That's still pretty bad, but not necessarily lying. Like you said, he just says stuff if it sounds good for him, but he's so low knowledge that it's frequently garbled in some way.
A lot of the stuff he says has some inkling of truth, which leads the commentary on what he's said to follow the same ###### every time: lots of people pile on pointing out how misleading what Trump has said is; others point out that the criticism is overblown, and that actually there's some sort of fundamental truth to what he said; we all forget what we were talking about to begin with.

It is his MO, his fall back, his go to. He lies so much he can't keep up with his lies.
That is why his lawyers and his minions do NOT want him to testify in front of the grand jury.

Clearly his comment is incorrect, but I would just say he’s wrong, not that he’s lying.
Or maybe he's just lying? C'mon, the man went to Wharton, he's not that dumb. He lies because it makes himself look good.
It's not that complicated.

if you gave him a blank map, there's no way he can tell you which one is Wisconsin and which one is Minnesota.

giving the lib base something to dwell on for the day.
Be sure to center Hillary's/Bernie's campaign on the fact he didn't know which states Reagan won...
it's a winning topic, I swear.

Nope. Escaped Memphis about 10 years ago. Was going to change my name on here to my new city but figured ####### Tiger would get me banned.

The lib base, Hillary, Bernie or even Obama have nothing to do with Trump's seeming inability to tell the truth on the most basic of things.
