  1. Oh that’s just what we call pillow talk, baby, that’s all.

  2. “In typical fashion, Trump lied and morons fell for it, again.”

  3. He lied. He’s a pathological liar. No surprises here.

  4. Every day, it’s like there is a new “I told you so” moment to give MAGA.

  5. “Downgrades soaring rhetoric” sounds so much better than “takes it all back.”

  6. He just called E Jean Carrol a liar. Sue his ass again. He’s the president elect, not the president. He’s currently unemployed. Sue. His. Ass. For. Defamation. **Again**.

  8. I don’t understand, and nor will i ever understand, the appeal of Trump.

    Putting aside policy completely, him on the campaign trail, besides a few jokes here and there, its like, just a list of grievances, everybody is so mean to him and blah blah, everything is all about him, really.

    But this is what gets people going these days, the majority thinks thinks his style is now charisma, so i guess it is.

  9. Interesting logic by trump supporters. We voted for him because he promised to cut the price on eggs but we knew he was bullshiting us.

  11. 49% of us KNEW he was LYING about EVERYTHING, but 51% swallows EVERYTHING he says as TRUTH. Just goes to show how uincredibly STUPID Trumpanzees actually ARE!

  12. Trump admits he lied to get elected and cannot do anything he promised but will be gutting a bunch of programs average americans use to give his rich friends another massive tax cut.

  13. >Trump in a recent “Meet the Press” interview said he could not guarantee tariffs would not lead to higher consumer prices.

    Did he say it would lead to lower prices? I just remember Elon saying that they would make the economy worse. It’s not really backtracking if they said that things would get worse, and people didn’t believe them.

    >“Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast. Not only with insurance, with everything,” Trump told supporters in North Carolina in August.

    Oh, I guess he did say that.

  14. What a shit article. 

    They quote a trump crony saying:

     “The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate”

    Which has little to do with the content of the piece and they fail to react check it. 

    Trump had the smallest popular vote margin in recent history and only two races in the 20th century were closer. 

    There is no mandate but the hill is promoting this false narrative. 

    If a Dem made such a comment they’d be eviscerated by the press.

  15. He said whatever it took to get elected. It was complete nonsense and people fell for it.

  16. He got what he wanted. No jail time, free golfing 24/7, world wide attention and the ability to grift.

  17. Eggs won’t get cheaper. Gas won’t get cheaper. Ukraine will still be at war with Russia. And he won’t be able to deport millions in his first year. And his cult won’t care. Just like they didn’t care he killed a million people from Covid and he put $8 trillion on the debt after promises of paying the debt down.

  18. Nope. Not having it. He promised to fix the following in 24 hours on multiple occasions:

    – Ukraine War
    – Israel/Palestine Conflict
    – Immigration

    I will commence bitching to my MAGA acquaintances if all of the aforementioned items aren’t fully solved by January 23rd. I’m giving him the full 24 hours for each task.

    Also he promised multiple times that he would bring down prices. That shit better happen or WHOA Nelly!

  19. >And in his first post-election press conference from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump suggested ending the war in Ukraine would be more difficult than easing tensions in the Middle East.

    I thought he was going to end that war within 24 hours of taking office?

  20. “Trump in a recent “Meet the Press” interview said he could not guarantee tariffs would not lead to higher consumer prices.

    He acknowledged in a Time magazine interview for his Person of the Year honor that it’s difficult to bring down the cost of groceries once they’ve gone up.

    And in his first post-election press conference from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump suggested ending the war in Ukraine would be more difficult than easing tensions in the Middle East.”

    So basically he lied, and people were so f***ing stupid they believed him

  21. It’s not cool to say, but both online and in real life, I haven’t talked to a single Trump supporter who’s reasons for voting for him weren’t stupid, evil, or both. Not a single one

  22. Wow that is a SUPER FANCY WAY of saying “Trump lied to voters to get elected”.

    So fancy such words

  23. “Yeah I can’t do any of that stuff, you dumb country idiots”—Trump basically.

  24. Oh what a shocker. The guy who never built the wall, never made Mexico pay, never proposed a health care plan, never locked her up, never proved Obama was not American, never made America great, etc. also has no plan to deliver any of the shit he promised.

    Anyone that believes anything he says needs to get their head checked.

  25. There’s obviously no center. He’s just happy he won’t end up in jail. I mean he’s literally selling the office out right now with this whole TikTok bullshit. He campaigned on “Give me money big oil and I’ll be your pawn!” I hope the country survives this bullshit but the erosion of the education system by the right has actually worked. I mean there’s a huge block of do nothing idiots looking for anyone to blame but themselves that just buy into this right wing bullshit.

  26. Trump has backed out of his campaign promises faster than anyone whose won a presidential election. He hasn’t even been sworn in yet and he’s backtracking on things

  27. “Switching away from campaign rhetoric to actually governing”

    I fed this through the Trump Bullshit Translator. What they’re actually saying is that the lies he told during the campaign don’t mean anything because the hard part-getting elected-is over and what he said before doesn’t matter. It’s back to golf and “Executive Time” in front of the TV.

  28. Not even getting 50% of the votes is not a fucking mandate! In his first election he claimed to not be a politician but he definitely lied like a seasoned one. Now his third election shows he’s definitely a politician. The old adage rings true for Trump even before he ran for any public office. How do we know he’s lying, his lips are moving!
