Even Trump's sponsors in the Kremlin are getting tired of all of his lies. Putin's Representative Reprimands Trump After Ex-President Claimed He Threatened To 'Hit' Moscow It does not look like the two are singing from the same hymn sheet. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/en...ned-to-hit-moscow_uk_67163ad3e4b0b4263c8af7a9 Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson has replied to Donald Trump’s recent claims that he once threatened to “hit” Moscow “so hard” if Russia invaded Ukraine – and it’s clear the two are not exactly on the same page. The former US president told the Wall Street Journal last week that he did try to discourage the Russian president from invading Ukraine when he was in office. He claimed he told Putin: “Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. “I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow.” Trump supposedly added: ”‘We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice.’ He [Putin] goes, ‘No way’. I said, ‘Way.’ “I said, ‘You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those f— domes right off your head.’ Because, you know, he lives under the domes.” However, Moscow was not best pleased with this revelation. According to Russian state news agency TASS, Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov replied: “We continue to prefer maintaining a very responsible stance in terms of not making public the conversations that are held at the highest level. “Unfortunately for us, a number of leaders do not adhere to this stance and do not maintain media hygiene regarding this issue. But this is on their own conscience.” Peskov alleged added that US politicians are expected to make heated remarks before the American public head to the ballot box for the presidential elections on November 5. It’s widely believed that Putin is hoping for a Trump victory at the presidential election, as the Republican has refused to say that he wants Ukraine to win its war against Russia, just that he wants the conflict to end. This has raised fears that Trump could reduce US aid to Ukraine and push Kyiv to permanently hand over the parts of its territory which are currently occupied by Russia. The Republican nominee has not held back when it comes to praising the authoritarian directly, either. Trump described Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “genius” and “savvy” in 2022, and only last week claimed “Russia has never had a president that they respect so much”. Even when the Russian leader jokingly endorsed Trump’s rival vice-president Kamala Harris – upsetting the Republican candidate – Trump still found time to defend “poor Russia” against the Democrats’ accusations.
At this point should anyone be surprised that a Trump campaign ad is nothing more than a continual string of lies. 'Virtually nothing is correct': Fact-checker left stunned by Trump swing state attack ad https://www.rawstory.com/michigan-trump-ad/ Former President Donald Trump's new swing state attack ad against Vice President Kamala Harris is so full of exaggerations and falsehoods that it baffled a local authority and stunned a Washington Post fact-checker. Trump's recent pitch to Michigan autoworkers was described as "bombastic," "false" and "misleading" in a Washington Post analysis from Glenn Kessler Tuesday morning. “There are so many misstatements in this ad," Bruce M. Belzowski, managing director of the Michigan research group Automotive Futures, told the Post, "it’s hard to know where to start." Kessler begins with a quick quotation of Trump's message to autoworkers in a campaign ad released on Oct. 17. “Kamala Harris supports [electric vehicle] mandates, killing Michigan jobs," the ad claims. "She wants to end all gas-powered cars. Crazy but true. Harris’s push requiring electric only is failing big, and Michigan autoworkers are paying the price. Massive layoffs already started. She could tank Michigan’s whole economy.” Kessler offered his own quick rebuttal before delving into the details. "This ad has the same bombastic tone that the former president uses in his campaign rallies and in interviews, portraying his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, as a job-killing liberal lunatic," Kessler wrote. "But like much of Trump’s rhetoric, the ad is false." (More at above url)
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/23/politics/trump-campaign-manager-january-6/index.html Donald Trump campaign manager shared posts in 2021 saying Trump’s lies caused the violence on January 6 By Andrew Kaczynski, CNN 4 minute read Published 2:00 AM EDT, Wed October 23, 2024 In the immediate aftermath of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, a number of conservatives and Republicans broke ranks with then-President Donald Trump and blamed him for the violence that day. Among them was Trump’s current campaign manager, Chris LaCivita. In a series of reposts on X – formerly Twitter – LaCivita shared comments calling January 6 an “insurrection” that was fueled by Trump’s baseless election lies. Some of those posts have since been deleted from LaCivita’s feed, but CNN was able to review them on the Internet Archive WayBack Machine, which archives internet webpages. On January 6, 2021, LaCivita reposted several posts that harshly condemned Trump, suggesting that even some of his closest allies once viewed the deadly outcome as a direct result of Trump’s lies. In a statement to CNN, Lacivita said his likes and retweets on January 6 were not supportive statements. “Retweets and likes are not endorsements. I’m focused on winning the election two weeks from now, and not distractions from CNN,” he said. LaCivita’s shared posts included a statement on January 6 from former President George W. Bush, who expressed “disbelief and dismay” at the violent assault on the Capitol, calling it “a sickening and heartbreaking sight.” “I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement,” read the statement by Bush that LaCivita shared. “The violent assault on the Capitol – and disruption of a Constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress – was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes.” The post, which was shared on the evening of January 6, was later deleted from LaCivita’s feed. CNN also reviewed a video showing a screen recording of posts that LaCivita liked on January 6, including one from Republican former Rep. Barbara Comstock of Virginia, who called for Trump’s Cabinet to remove him from office via the 25th Amendment. “Twitter locked @realDonaldTrump for 12 hours. Now the Cabinet needs to lock him down for the next 14 days. #25thAmendmentNow,” Comstock wrote on the evening of January 6. Although X has since removed the ability to view likes, a user whose tweet was liked by LaCivita confirmed to CNN that his post had indeed been liked by Trump’s campaign manager on January 6. The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unfit for office, temporarily transferring power to the vice president. Another post shared by LaCivita was a stark message from a Republican Senate aide, which John McCormack, then a reporter for the conservative magazineNational Review, shared on X. “Text message from a GOP Senate aide: ‘This is a disgusting tragedy. Someone literally lost their life because of a lie that Trump told, Cruz/Hawley capitalized on, and fringe media echoed. This is in no way shape or form sustainable.’” Another since-removed post from LaCivita’s feed included a comment calling those who stormed the Capitol “thugs.” The comment from a GOP political staffer linked to a CNN tweet reading, “Pro-Trump protesters have stormed the US Capitol, where members of Congress were meeting to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s win.” “They are not protestors. They are thugs,” the post read. The shared comments by LaCivita, the top staffer for Trump’s quest to retake the White House this November, are notable as the former president in the closing weeks of the campaign has sought to recast the events that day. On social media, Trump has shared unfounded conspiracies suggesting the riot was an inside job perpetrated by the federal government. He has also called the rally and events preceding it as a day of “love and peace,” and suggested that if he regains the White House, he will pardon January 6 rioters convicted of violent acts that day. During a Univision town hall last week, Trump defended his supporters’ actions, claiming they stormed the Capitol because they believed the election was “rigged.” He continued to mischaracterize the day’s events, stating, “That was a day of love from the standpoint of the millions.” Last week, on Truth Social, Trump also shared a post calling January 6 “the day the government staged a riot.” The unfounded conspiracy theory that the federal government staged the January 6 attack has been widely debunked as baseless. LaCivita, a longtime Republican political strategist with a career working on high-profile campaigns throughout Virginia and nationally, has served in the role of co-campaign manager for Donald Trump’s third presidential bid with fellow seasoned political operative Susie Wiles since 2023. He first gained national recognition during the 2004 presidential election for his role in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign, the group that sought to undermine and attack Democratic nominee John Kerry’s military record.

All Presidents lie but Trump has set records for the number of lies, types of lies, flip-flopping than any other President in our country's history of politics. Further, Trump must have a record for the number of politicians that call him out for being the biggest political liar they've ever met to then later see those same politicians have been down to kiss his ring. The world is laughing at us because our politicians have no balls and fear being forced to look for another career if they run into Trump again. wrbtrader
