Put it on timed delay that gives the media to fact check what he says, then if they find a lie, bleep it out as if it were expletives.
Which technically it would be an expletive because that's what a lie in that context is.

(60,010 posts)almost wish they could do that.
But...have you noticed.....print media is doing more fact checking, including the WaPo's now infamous Pinnochio scorecard.

(50,451 posts)Do you know how many people are going to be driven to the point of insanity by listening to 30 minutes of uninterrupted bleeping? Not even Dick Cheney is that cruel.
Better idea: After the speech is over, just throw up a card on the screen:
Number of Major Lies: xx
Number of Minor Lies: xx
Number of Moderate Prevarications: xx
Number of Slight Twistings of the Truth: xx
Please note that "number of factual statements" is not there because there won't be any. Trump lies so badly, if he walked up to you and said "I'm Donald Trump" demand three forms of ID and written statements from at least five people who know him before you accept it as fact.
