that Obama was not an American. It was pushed by the same person accusing Wolff of making up stories.
That is all.

Look, even if Wolff embellished 25 percent of the book (which is a yuuuge percentage), that still leaves 75 percent true. Plus, we've heard all of this stuff drip by drip since the Dotard took office. Of course he's got a bunch of unhappy campers in the White House. They don't know what they're doing, and they're being led by some asshole who probably occasionally stomps through in his bathroom, phone in hand, and screams obscenities.
And yes, Dump lies, lies and lies! Every time he says he's doing something great for America, as you say, "It's Opposite Day!" in Trumpworld.

(135,841 posts)May, 2016: Trump has gotten nearly $3 billion in free advertising
Trump, who became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee when last rivals Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich exited the race, has received the equivalent of more than $2.8 billion in free ads through April. Thats based on media coverage and the equivalent advertising rates.
By comparison, Cruz, who dropped out on Tuesday, has received the equivalent of about $771 million since last May.
The numbers are likely to add fuel to critics charges that Trump has gotten too much unpaid air time. Cruz in March said the media was engaged in a love fest with Trump before TV host Anderson Cooper said Cruz had declined offers to be on his CNN program.

(9,670 posts)Are the ones who live in the alternative FOX universe, where Trump's unfitness for office has not once been even alluded to. When you live in denial of truth, truth sounds like a lie when revealed.
Imagine their reaction to a few well-placed Mueller indictments.
I thought you were going to say that the Republicans won three out of the last five presidential elections without cheating.
As a story, Alice in Wonderland was more believable.

(23,344 posts)Very few believed it, nothing came of it, it was a joke. Even Obama joked about it, about him and Trump growing up together in Kenya.
Torpedo boats shooting at a U.S. Navy destroyer USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. Saddam Hussein's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, nerve gas and yellow-cake uranium. Now, THOSE were some costly lies with consequences attached.

(269,024 posts)but you make a good point re THOSE costly lies.
I think it facilitated racism like we haven't seen in ages.
