The President of the United States of America is a pathological liar.
The White House was forced to essentially admit that at least three of Trump’s recent statements were lies:
I consulted with generals before issues transgender military ban on Twitter.
A boy scout official called me and told me my speech was the greatest ever.
The Mexican president called me and said I’m doing a great job on immigration.
Each one of these statements has been shown to be totally and demonstrably false. The Pentagon said we don’t know of any generals that were consulted, the boy scouts said no one called Trump and told him that his speech was great and Mexico said their president didn’t speak to Trump on the phone or tell him that he’s doing a great job of anything.
Asked directly if Trump’s boy scouts claim was a lie, she said, “I wouldn’t say it was a lie. That’s a pretty bold accusation. The conversations took place, they just simply didn’t take place over a phone call … he had them in person.”
It was a similar story with the claim about Mexico’s president calling Trump to tell him how great he’s doing. Sanders said Trump had been “referencing a conversation that they had had at the G-20 summit.”
The argument here is that both times Trump alleged phone calls took place, the sentiment was accurate but the conversations were not on the phone.
So in order to believe that Trump wasn’t lying, and simply fabricating stories, you’d have to believe that Trump is incapable of distinguishing between conversations he’s had in-person and conversations he’s had over the phone.
In other words, either Donald Trump is a liar or a crazy person.
If you believe that the president is competent lucid and generally with it, saying he doesn’t know the difference between in person and on the phone isn’t a good defense.
But besides their falsity, another factor that each of these statements, particular the latter two, have in common is their triviality.

Trump lies so often and so casually about everything and anything that it really is pathological. He lies for the sake of lying. It’s part of his character. He’s a fraud, a phony, a faker. Comments like these can only be the result of a volatile mix of hubris, delusion and petty narcissism.
The most disturbing part of all of this may be the fact that many of us are becoming desensitized to doublespeak and blatant misinformation coming out of the White House on a regular basis.

Its ok because local Democrats are lying all the time to us especially Rene Oliveira Lobbyist ATM user and the Gravy Train Lucios.
Forget national issues
Report local issues

Convicted rapist/ EMT / ambulance owner
Gets 10 years probation for sexual assault on South Padre Island
Trump is fine. Democrat that has been lying to us for over 30 years. Over with. No more Oliveira. No more watching him drink and stare at women. No more him speeding in financed lobbyist Cadillac drunk as a skunk.NO MORE
Mr Montoya, the city of Brownsville needs to drug test Mayor and commissioners to make sure they are not drunk, stoned, or amped during meetings because some of their rhetorick is bizarre and grand standing and past commissioners(CC) were wired when they pushed and pushed for powder head Sossi from what former city manager told us on the River Walk in San Antonio last year.
A question for everyone. Are you all OK with Rene Oliveira taking trips Professional sports games and a cadillac from lobbyist money to vote how they want and not for We the People? I mean he drinks non stop dines at expensive places and does other things free to him on our backs. Is that OK with you all? Because you all still vote for that abuse? It makes me question your intelligence of course unless you love kissing ass.
Montoya positive impact to community. McHale swirling in the toilet, Wightman wasting the Court Systems time, Paz is a wierdo , Barton, on Ahumadas back. Erasmo promotes Brownsville wrong and is a terribke example of health
Rene Cardenas for President
Your last paragraph is absolutely correct! I refuse to listen to any of his comments anymore, for I don't have any idea if it is his "fake news" or his lying. My question is why his children don't put a stop to it before something really bad comes out of this. He has become the PPP - president puro pedo!
The only lies here are the ones yo post
It is amazing how many people will speak out against Trump, but when it comes to local politics, they are willing to accept corruption, mis-use of power, lack of transparency and vote for the Democratic candidates for office, even though no elected Democrat has benefited this region or community.
Are you sure it was only three things he lied on? Oh, you are talking about his last speech! 11:42 blogger,"and you surely do like to read them or you wouldn't even be found opening this blog. A todos nos gusta el pedo!
