Here’s a list:http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/
Of 71 utterances checked, only 5 were Mostly True and 13 Half True and the rest, largely fact-free
21% of Trump’s statements were Pants on Fire (so untrue as to not even being False) compared with Obama’s 2% or even Carson’s 13%. Hillary’s at 1% and Bernie Sanders is at 0%
Trump is running a fact-free campaign. It’s hard to support hatred and bigotry using facts, and Trump has proved that you don’t need to. The vast majority of Republican voters have been immune to facts since 2008.

Then there’s Mr. Carson, whose grasp of facts is whatever he said last time – if he remembers it right. Unlike his map of the US leaving out one state entirely (well, it was a blue state after all), his rearrangement of Thomas Jefferson’s writings (no doubt it was what Jefferson really meant to say), and his imaginative biography, now placed in the Fiction section.
“I simply have a different moral system than they, as has often been pointed out as a major source of misunderstandings between liberals and conservatives.”The problem is that they see morality in 1-bit black and white jpg, while we see it in 32-bit grayscale tiff. Something like that.
Of course, your opinion (clearly based on gut feelings) should immediately be given the same weight as politifacts’ decisions, which largely are based on looking up facts. See why no one takes conservatism seriously any more?
@Zuhlamon, I don’t have to endorse either option, do I?I do know for a fact that Muslims around the world do public celebrations when they see news that Americans or Jews have been attacked and harmed or killed. -With the internet, we don’t limit “news” to US sources, do we?I like to read foreign print news in the English language. My satellite TV service carries RT News channel and Fox News is linked to SKY News. -I remember 9/11/01 US coverage showing men celebrating on a rooftop and the report claimed they were Jewish, which I seriously questioned. I don’t swallow news reports blindly.Even serious and pro-truth reporters get facts wrong, especially at the start of reporting a major disaster or attack.-Why didn’t the media ask Trump what his source was, of remembering seeing media showing large groups celebrating in New Jersey. I’m sure, considering his wealth, he has more news resources than most of the rest of us.
That’s funny cuz i just check this new thing called the interwebs and nothing says that the report is false and even Fox channels have reported the same thing. So who doesn’t know what is true or false? I don’t think you have the ability to say anything truthful.
OK where is your source because every other source of media wasn’t able to find any information where anyone was celebrating. And I just typed your text and there’s only two sites that reference that text which sent me to a third site. http://www.scribd.com/doc/290767616/Northern-New-Jersey-Draws-Probers-Eyes
So you’re really reaching dude. The report names three people who were “SUSPECTED” of possibly cheering. Man you repubs are really reaching to the bottom to try and save face. And Trump is wrong, because there was nothing Televised and it was possible 3 people not thousands. The Right Wing were actual facts don’t matter….
Regardless, Obama has been proven a bald-faced liar by Republicans and Democrats..Regardless, Hillary has been proven a bald-faced liar by Republicans and Democrats.
“I don’t know where you get your “facts” about what Republicans believe, but as a Republican I can tell you, you are wrong. .It’s a stupid post based on ignorance and your bias.”
