There are two things that are true about this Presidential election year. First, Donald Trump is a pathological liar, and second, that his supporters represent the worst examples of citizens of United States of America.
Lies of a Political Whore
Donald Trump says: the man who rushed the stage at him in Dayton, Ohio, “had chatter about ISIS, or with ISIS” in his social media posts.
Donald Trump says: “GDP was zero essentially for the last two quarters.”
Donald Trump says: Under the Iran nuclear deal, “we give them $150 billion, we get nothing.”
Donald Trump says: Common Core is “education through Washington D.C.”
Donald Trump says: Mahatma Gandhi once said, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
Donald Trump says: “the New York Times can write a story that they know is false” yet “they can’t basically be sued.”
Donald Trump says: “We (Trump University) have an ‘A’ from the Better Business Bureau.”
Donald Trump says: “If it weren’t for me … (illegal immigration) wouldn’t even be a big subject.”
Donald Trump says: On the Iraq war, “I said it loud and clear, ‘You’ll destabilize the Middle East.’ “
Voldemort’s Big Lies
Donald Trump says: “I don’t know anything about David Duke.”
Donald Trump says: Ted Cruz “said I was in favor in Libya. I never discussed that subject.”
Donald Trump says: “Don’t believe those phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent.”
Trump Speaks the Lies of the Uneducated, Old, White
Since 2007, the only Presidential candidate that has a worse record than Donald Trump of lying, is Dr. Ben Carson, and Trump has twice as many “Pants on Fire” lies as even Carson. Donald Trump has built his campaign on incitement of the older, less educated, white people who see themselves as victims based on lies and misconceptions they created. Trump is loved by his supporters for ‘speaking the truth’ and ‘saying what no one else will say,’ which is to say, he is gaining their love by saying what they want to hear. Trump validates their view of the world, even though everyone else knows he’s lying.
The demographics of Trump supporters are the people the type of people who blame everyone else for their lot in life. Only 19% have a college degree. More than 80% are over age 45. Only 15% of Hispanics said they support Trump, and only 9% of African-Americans favored Trump.
Trump supporters are the opposite end of the model citizen, and based on multiple incidents and media interviews with them, they are violent and susceptible to the type of incitement that Trump offers in his rallies. They are misfits who don’t believe in anything that doesn’t match their dysfunctional view of the world.
Every time Trump lies to gain their support, they interpret it as a confirmation of all that they want to believe to be true. They believe they are the chosen ones by birth and through Trump, they will take their rightful place as the superior race, and the rest of us shall fall to our knees and worship them.
