Donald Trump has said a lot of things, like how he was the greatest businessman, but now we see that it isn’t really true with his casinos. He also tends to lie about who he knows, what he makes, and how he makes it.
His casinos in Atlantic City were not bringing in enough gamblers, so the money he borrowed was much more than the revenue he brought in. Now, of course, he came out with millions, according to The New York Times, but stocks and bondholders lost about 1.5 billion dollars. Trump did not pay the “little men” so they had to file for bankruptcy about five times.
He also says that he is a self-made man doesn’t he? I seem to recall his father giving him “a small loan of one million dollars.” I also remember his father bailing him out of trouble with 3.3 million dollars. Although he was in trouble for it, they only made him pay 65,000 dollars. That’s insignificant compared to 3.3 million.
Donald Trump is, simply put, a liar. Now, let’s look at Trump’s relationship with David Duke. The Washington Post has put together a timeline of the relationship or name drops of Duke or Trump. In the 90’s, Trump knew who David Duke was. Trump said he hated what voting for Duke represents… so obviously, he knew who he was. Now? “Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. Okay?” But, in 2000, he called Duke a bigot, a racist, and a problem. I’m sure it’s all confusing, but that’s what happens when a liar like Trump gets his stories mixed up.
He also lied about his numbers compared to Ronald Reagan. Trump says his numbers are greater than Reagan’s, but they aren’t. He is actually in a worse spot than Reagan was.
Another lie, that was pretty pathetic, was an ad he put out saying Mexicans were swarming all over the border. Problem is, the footage was from Morocco. His team cut out the RepublicaTV watermark logo from the video and the 2014 time stamp.
We knew that Trump was just a bad person period, but politifact has a full list of absolute lies he has told. Just in case you were interested in the stories your Republican nominee tells in his spare time, check out the website linked above.
So, all these lies are coming from your possible future president. It’s in your hands America.
