A democratic president who lied an average of 8 times a day EVERYDAY would not

be tolerated by either party for more than one day.

A democratic president who was in violation of the emoluments clause on inauguration day would be impeached the next day.

We have a double standard because democrats actually have honest media. Republicans are lied to and they have no idea what the truth is. If we were all consuming the same fact-based media, we might disagree on policy, but we wouldn't have 35% of the population acting like they aren't human.

Which wasnt a lie, what he did not take into account were the policies that were SHIT and would not qualify.

GOP is furious that Obama MANDATED better coverage for them, and called him a liar when he did just that for them.

Trump lies about everything, NEVER tells the truth, and they love him.

If the elections are rigged for your party, you can empty the treasury and get away with it.
