​Some say​ they can't vote for Clinton because she's untrustworthy and
tells lies, and she has been known to, ah, test the elasticity of the truth
from time to time, but her fibs are nothing compared to the whoppers told
by Donald Trump.

*​TRUMP'S LIE*

​
 "
*I​ ​was always against going into Iraq. In fact, I — believe me, I was
always against it.*”
​
Trump says his
​
opposition
​
to
​
the
​
Iraq war was *"loud and clear"* before March 19 2003 when it started and
there were *"25 newspaper stories proving it"*

*THE TRUTH*

No such newspaper articles have ever been found nor any other evidence that
shows Trump opposed the war before it started.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

Trump claims before the was started he claims " *I said, do not go to Iraq
you are going to destabilize the Middle East. That is exactly what
happened.” *

*THE TRUTH *

There is no evidence Trump said anything of the sort, however we do know
for certain that 6 months before the war started Trump was asked if he
supported invading Iraq Trump replied *"Yeah, I guess so".*

*TRUMP"S LIE*

Trump says Barack Obama was not born in the USA and he can prove it so
Obama is not the legitimate president.

*THE TRUTH*

Obama was, he can't, and the President is.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

Ted Cruz's father helped assassinate John F Kennedy

*THE TRUTH*

He didn't.

*​**TRUMP'S LIE*

Trump said ​ISIS is honoring President Barack Obama
​ because he is LITERALLY the
founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton is
​the ​
co-founder
​.


*THE TRUTH*

They aren't.

*​**TRUMP'S LIE*

​*"Hillary is​*
* responsible for making Iran the dominant power in the Middle East and on
the road to nuclear weapons.”*

*THE TRUTH*

Iran’s nuclear program
​ is
stopped
​
for at least a decade
​
thanks to Obama and Hillary's Iran deal.
​
Iran is further away from making a nuclear weapon than it was on the day
Trump started his presidential campaign.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*​"​China has total control, just about, of North Korea.”*

*THE TRUTH​ *

Unfortunately China doesn't.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*​" ​Even our nuclear arsenal doesn’t work.”*

*THE TRUTH​ *

Unfortunately
​ it does.​

TRUMP'S LIE


*“Our military is very depleted. Extremely depleted.”*

*THE TRUTH​ *

*​*The USA spends more
​ on the military than the next 7 biggest spending countries put together.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*​​*
*"Hillary Clinton ​said​ she wants to, raise taxes on the middle class. "*

*​THE TRUTH*

Hillary Clinton never said anything of the sort.

*TRUMP​'S LIE​*

​​
*"We don't know anything about Hillary in terms of religion. Now, she's
been in the public eye for years and years, and yet there's no — there's
nothing out there."*

*​THE TRUTH*

There is something out there and it's easy to find, Wikipedia says she's a
Methodist

*TRUMP'S LIE *

"
*For the amount of money Hillary Clinton would like to spend on refugees,
we could rebuild every inner city in America.​"​*

*​THE TRUTH*

You couldn't.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*"The Obama administration was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the
terrorist group that became the Islamic State."*

*THE TRUTH*

They weren't.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*"Crime is rising.​"*

*THE TRUTH*

Crime is falling.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

​"​
It is Hillary Clinton's agenda
​​
 to release the violent criminals from jail. She wants them all released."

*​THE TRUTH*

She doesn't​

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*"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."*

*​THE TRUTH*

​Not even close.

*TRUMP'S LIE*
​

​*"​C*
*rime statistics show blacks kill 81 percent of white homicide victims.​"*

*THE TRUTH*

The FBI says it's 15% not 81%.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*​"I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people
were cheering" as the World Trade Center collapsed.​"*

*THE TRUTH*

Nobody else on the​
​on the planet can remember seeing those
thousands and thousands of people
​.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*"​I​ can eliminate​ the entire 18 thousand billion dollar national debt in
8 years."*

*THE TRUTH*

Nobody can do that, and it would be very bad if anybody even tried.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

​"​
Clinton raised $60 million in July from just 20 people
​" ​
 ​

*​THE TRUTH​*

​​
​Not 20 but ​
900,000
​people ​
made donations
​ to Clinton in July, and one of them was me.​

*TRUMP'S​ LIE*

* “We have no intelligence gathering information. We need this information
so badly. Obama stopped it.”*

​THE TRUTH​

​Obama ​
spent $50.4 billion on intelligence
​ gathering information​
in 2015
​ and wants to spend even more in 2016.​

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*“Putin’s not going into Ukraine, OK. Just so you understand: He’s not
going to go into Ukraine, all right?” *

*​THE TRUTH*

Putin did go into the Ukraine, and he did so 29 months BEFORE he told the
above lie.

*TRUMP'S LIE*

*​"​ISIS is “making a fortune with Libyan oil.​"​*

*​THE TRUTH​ *

I​SIS has vandalized oil fields but it has never even tried to produce oil
or sell any.



*TRUMP'S LIE*

​*"​*
*I never met Putin — I don’t know who Putin is​ ​I have no relationship
with him​,​​ ​I have no relationship with him​"​ *7/31/16

*TH*
*​E TRUTH*​


In 2013,
​Trump said​
 said,
​"*​*
*I do have a relationship*
*​ with Putin"*.
 In 2014
​Trump​
 said,
*​"​I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin and ​he gave me
a present"*. In 2015,
​Trump​
 said, *“I got to know him very well*
*​".*​

*TRUMP'S LIE*
*“I would have stayed out of Libya.​"*

*THE TRUTH*

​In 2011 Trump said ​
​*" F*
*ailing to intervene in Libya would be a major, major black eye for this
country. We should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick.
Libya could end up one of the worst massacres in history, and it would be
very easy to topple Qaddafi. You talk about things that have happened in
history; this could be one of the worst,​ ​Now we should go in, we should
stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it
surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. After it’s all
done, the protesters who took over the country would reimburse us through
oil.”*

There are lots more examples I could list, but life is short.
