Don't try this at home.. or anywhere else

[createdequal]

I have had a very hard, sometimes unbearable life because I am honest and tell the truth (sometimes subjective truth but I try to stick to objective..)

I would never tell anyone to lie and dissemble their way to the top but sometimes I think that is the only way there is to get to the top.

Trump says what he thinks, and I greatly appreciate that (love how he cares about honesty over political correctness)

 

But he can afford to be honest..  People who do not have $$ or name recognition cannot be that--without dire consequences ensuing.

I ought to know.. I am always getting myself "estranged" from one person or group or another because I am honest about what I think.. 

so yeh.. we can all admire Trump for telling the truth, being honest about what he thinks and all.. but then you have to add: If you are a nobody, do not try this..

I would not put Trump and Honesty in the same sentence.

Well, he certainly isn't being a hypocrite.   Most politicians just go along with things they think people want them to say.

well, I watch news daily (God willing) and I have yet to catch him in a lie, so maybe you should present some evidence if you are going to accuse

because they love being in public office more than they love the truth. We are all guilty of keeping certain truths or perspectives to ourselves in order to.. not mess up our world too much, but generally, I say that since Jesus is Truth itself ("I am the Way, the Truth and the LIfe) we should all do our best to speak truth as much as possible, even if not so good consequences may ensue (but it is a case by case thing)

I didn't mean by this OP to imply that we should always suppress the truth (if we don't make X amount of money). But you do have to be very careful at times

... But we are in the latter days, and standing up for the Truth and enduring to the end is what we better be doing.  ....friends or no friends.  

I totally agree. I have lost many friends over my Christian and also over my Republican beliefs. Well, as to that latter one, not so much friends but.. well, long story... But I have yet to change my beliefs to try to re-gain said friendships. There are some things that cannot be compromised. I mean.. What ? We are going to give up Jesus to preserve a human friendship?

and someone who would require you to give up Jesus for his/her friendship.. obviously is not a friend

I don't have time right now to hunt down all his lies. I will try to work on that over the weekend and get back to you.

Well now. I see my first post has not been approved just yet but I am now ready to get into this. So here goes.  First off I am only posting Trump's lies because you asked me too. I do not expect you to believe me and I fully understand that you most likely think that everything Trump says in the truth. So I am not going to spend page after page of debating this.  Accept it. Don't accept it. I do not care.  I only wish to inform. Rather or not a person whats to be informed that is up to them. So with all of that out of the way here we go:

Trump said: The Mexican government forces many bad people into our country."  Fact:  There is no evidence of any Mexican policy that pushes people out of Mexico and into the United States. 

Trump said: The number of illegal immigrants in the United States is "30 million, it could be 34 million."  Fact: Researchers put the number of illegal immigrants at about 11 or 12 million, with the flow of illegal immigrants at a 40 year low.

Trump said:"Crime is rising." Fact: Crime rates have been falling almost without fail for roughly a quarter-century.

 

I can't post them all. There is just a lot of lies he has told. Google it for yourself if you want to see. Anyway, like I said I fully accept that you won't believe any of this.
