Trump Serial Liar: Before, During and After Office and Now With the "BIG LIE"

 

Historical Fact: Yep, it's in his DNA

Trump’s “Big Lie” definition in this context for this post from The AP:

Everyone enmeshed in Trump’s relentless election claims agrees that a “Big Lie” is at the heart of the matter.

President Joe Biden says so. 

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said so. 

Dominion Voting Systems alleged in a massive lawsuit that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani “…also manufactured and disseminated the Big Lie.”

Trump tried to appropriate the phrase by turning it against his accusers, a pattern from his presidency when he railed against “fake news” after having his own called out and said in a statement: “The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!” (As if it had the force of a proclamation).

Trump then led the GOP in an election that cost them the presidency and their Senate majority while also leaving them short of taking over in the House.

For all that, the party’s brute-force Trump faction is ascendant as Republicans place their bets on the energy and passions of his core supporters in the approach to the midterm elections next year. That bet requires a suspension of disbelief when Trump makes his fantastical claims about a rigged election.

For example: Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), driven from Congress by a Trump-aligned opponent his nomination race last year, who said this about Trump’s Big Lie: “His message is working. If you’ve got to say things you don’t believe in, as long as that leads to a win, that’s what’s most important. If you think you can win by fanning those flames of disinformation, why wouldn’t you do that? If you have no integrity.”

Election 2020 Facts:

· Dozens of election fraud lawsuits across the country have been dismissed by the courts (about 60 to date).

· Even the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the last of Trump's election challenges in March.

· Federal and all state and local election officials all have insisted there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 contest.

· Trump's own Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released a statement in November that said the November 3 election: “Was the most secure in American history.”

Yet, Trump can’t let go – he cannot tolerate losing even when all the evidence and odds in the world are against him, he still can’t let go or accept or concede losing to Joe Biden and by over 7 million votes.

Trump’s past legal battles – just for the record from this source:

Trump has been involved in over 4,000 legal battles in some capacity.

From his beginnings in the real estate and gambling industries during the 70’s and 80’s.

Through his entrepreneurial and entertainment ventures in the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Until his baffling transition into politics in the 2010’s.

Trump has been fighting courthouse battles every step of the way. 

My 2 cents: As I and millions know and have said about the 2020 election and outcome is pretty simple: Biden won / Trump lost.

Over 60 court cases across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court, all State governments, the Electoral College, and ultimately the Congress.

Certified, and thus all of those affirmed the legitimacy of the election, Trump’s defeat, and the honesty of the entire election process.

He lost but he can’t and indeed as I said has never conceded the loss – which is a first in American presidential and all election history.

Donald J. Trump is incorrigible. Yet his influence with the GOP, as demonstrated by the events of January 6 and quite frankly ever since now with the bogus AZ election audit, shows that Trump is, as the well-known phrase says: “A clear and present danger.”
