76% of everything Trump says is a lie

PolitiFact has been documenting Trump’s statements on our Truth-O-Meter, where we’ve rated 76 percent of them Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire, out of 77 statements checked. No other politician has as many statements rated so far down on the dial.

In considering our annual Lie of the Year, we found our only real contenders were Trump’s -- his various statements also led our Readers’ Poll. But it was hard to single one out from the others. So we have rolled them into one big trophy.

To the candidate who says he’s all about winning, PolitiFact designates the many campaign misstatements of Donald Trump as our 2015 Lie of the Year.

So much for being the "Straight Talker" in the Republican Race.

I'm just curious how many Trump supporters will still be Trump supporters when they see he's been lying to them the entire time. How many will jump to his defense?

You realize that Polifact isn't cataloguing "everything" that someone says, right? As such, ironically, your post title is a lie

Don't worry they will find some way to hand wave it away and say something about the "liberal media".

76% lies, 100% shill, 0% surprised.

Probably most of them. Once you build up a political faith in someone or some party it's hard to break it.

People will defend decisions that they have already made to the death.

Somehow politics has evolved into religion, only it's just a tad bit more stupid.

[SemperIvXx]

Low quality bait.

Technically it was packed in there all along, with kings and emperors being representative or equal to gods. Or the influence of ancient sages telling people how to rule the tribe based on superstitions.

Low quality bait.

If you say so.

A politician lied! Someone alert the internetz! Hilary Clinton Truth-O-Meter would be fabulous.

The Donald would call it "Truthful Hyperbole"

Inb4 "well all politicians lie!"

That's what we call burying the lede. Politicians may warp the truth, but none of them have abjectly lied as much as trump. And not about "speculative economics" and other vague crap. He straight up lies about numbers and statistics and tries to make talking points out of them.

This just in. Politicians lie.

Back to you Jim!

Looks like a reverse curve to Trump's.

Worth considering that he might just be a dipshit. I might be wrong, but I think a lot of his falsehoods are things that he has no idea about the truth of one way or the other. That's not really lying, it's just being an ignorant blowhard.

Not exactly an endorsement though.

I thought Donald's big appeal came from the fact that he isn't a politician?

Also:

I think he beats even Putin in the level of plausible deniabillity as not giving a fuck when getting caught redhanded.
