maybe not everyone, but most people or even by far most people? there are a lot of  trump supporters here, so maybe you can chime in if you think he lies a lot, or even more important, chime in if you think he doesn't lie a lot. 

i remember when the election for president was going on it was at least debateable whether trump or hilary lied more, but after he won the office, his lying went into overdrive. 

politifact type sites rates him as the politician with the most and highest rate of lies.

he lies, exaggerates, makes things up, and?

perhaps you should ask if anyone who didn't want Hillary to win, now wishes she had, I didn't want Hillary to win and I'm still glad she didn't.

Of course he lies alot. It's called RHETORIC...something you should never pay attention to from any politician. 

It's the policies, stupid.

"The political debate needs to shift from frenzied rhetoric to take up the cudgels against primal forces to a calmer and more serious focus on policies that matter. The aphorism “it’s the economy, stupid” captured the political zeitgeist of the not too distant past. “It’s the policies, stupid” would be an apt renewal of that exhortation for our time."

Also Trump gave up on being truthful when he realized he was at war with a hostile, biased media. If he was going to be called a liar anyway, might as well make it a whopper!

Trump was never truthful for him to give it up.

THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT YOU CAN GIVE TRUMP is to attack him personally. You can't attack him for starting wars like his predecessors because he hasn't started any. You can't attack him for a tanking economy like his predecessors because the economy is booming. You can't attack him for going on apology tours for the United States like his predecessors because all he does when he goes abroad is fight for us. You can't attack him for raising taxes like Obama did and Hillary would have done because he lowered them. You can't attack him for being soft on national defense and at our borders like his predecessors because we all know how he is with those. You can't attack him for being corrupt and rigging an election because he won DESPITE the election being rigged against him. You can't attack him for not being available to the press because he speaks with the press every single day. And speaking of the press, you can't attack him for not being patient because there is nobody alive with his amount of patience. Not a single one of us would be able to handle all the shit he has to deal with. You can't attack him for any of the actual important things that affect our daily lives because when it comes to those issues, he's doing a superb job. So if all people can attack him on is his personality, I'd say that's a win for him and all of us too. And as far as working for us, he's just barely gotten started. Side note: The reason Trump was elected in the first place was a message to the political and media establishments that we see right through their bullshit and lies, we aren't buying their bullshit and lies, and we won't put up with them anymore. It was a loud and clear message for them but they just don't get it still because they're not just continuing with the same behavior, they're doubling down. They are the epitome of stupid and will not be successful.

Don't ever apply for citizenship here, even if it does turn socialist/authoritarian like your worst wetdream.
