His issue was to get elected. He accomplished that. Now, his issue is to make America great again. Actually, he said "We" will make America great again. But first he'd better consult with you on the definition of great. Then, after clearing that up, he can get on with it. |

no one said he "Misspeak's"(well, you just did)....in fact it's pretty widely acknowledged that he's loose with the truth and facts to the point where it can be pretty amusing when he gets on a roll, the degree to which it's willful and sinister is debatable.....in most cases I suspect what you perceive as is "lie" is rather simply, and nothing more, the fact that he has a differing view and perspective than you may hold on a given subjects, what you perceive as a "lie" by Trump is actually your inability to view the world through the prism through which he looking...probably the result of your lack of tolerance of differing viewpoints and a closed-minded inability to grasp the world outside your bubble.........so it's not really Trump....it's you...

Krauthammer really nails it...
The most amusing part of the Trump transition has been watching its effortless confounding of the media, often in fewer than 140 characters.
An epidemic of constitutional chin-tugging and civil-libertarian hair-pulling immediately breaks out. By the time the media have exhausted their outrage over the looming abolition of free speech, judicial supremacy, and affordable kale, Trump has moved on.
Trump so thoroughly owns the political stage today that the word Clinton seems positively quaint and Barack Obama, who happens to be president of the United States, is totally irrelevant.
Trump will continue to tweet and the media will continue to take the bait. Highly entertaining but it is a sideshow.

I'm still trying to figure out Bigley...what was Obama's Idea of "Hope and Change" and "Fundamental Transformation"? and which one of Trumps "lies" (based on your definition of a lie )have I supported?...
perhaps he'll "grow" into the position as we were told Obama would do in time  |
