Have you ever known a person who just lies for no reason? Like, they stay making stuff up all the time just for the sake of talking and conversation? Their stories have little basis in reality; they just want to get one off, and to do that, they make up whatever details they need to in order for the story to sound good.
That person, ladies and gentlemen, is the alleged âpresidentâ of the United States, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has not met a lie he didnât get along with. He has not met a half-truth he was unwilling to let fall from his lips. His penchant for exaggeration and complete and total hyperbole is well-documented.
They have a word in Spanish for people like Donald Trump; that word is mentiroso. It means liar. Donald Trump is a liar.
In his latest attempt at gassing himself up via lies and stories heâs made up in his own head, Business Insider reports that Trump told a crowd of people at a rally in Sunrise, Fla., Tuesday night that there is a contingent of âliberalsâ who want to change the name of the Thanksgiving holiday.
As is the norm with his big gigantic lies, he offered no evidence of his claim and no details as to what these so-called âliberalsâ wanted to replace the name Thanksgiving with. He simply asserted it as fact and then used that as a talking point to gas himself up, as usual.
âYou know, some people want to change the name Thanksgiving,â he said. âThey donât want to use the term âThanksgiving.ââ
He told the crowd âweâre not changing itâ and added âWeâre going to have do a little work on Thanksgiving.â
âPeople have different ideas why it shouldnât be called Thanksgiving,â he continued. âBut everybody in this room, I know, loves the name Thanksgiving, and weâre not changing it.â
What in the straw man argument hell is this? Iâm willing to bet no one has said they didnât like the name Thanksgiving or wanted to change it, but here your man go using it to inflate his own ego.
Trump went on to take credit for people saying âMerry Christmasâ as opposed to the more generic âHappy Holidays.â As BI notes, when Trump campaigned in 2016, he hitched his wagon to the horse that called wishing people âHappy Holidaysâ instead of âMerry Christmasâ a âwar on Christmas,â and he promised to change that when he got in officeâbecause thatâs exactly what the president of our nation should be thinking about and working on while in office. He later claimed credit for âfixingâ the issue.
âAnd that was true also with Christmas, but now everybodyâs using Christmas again,â Trump crowed at the Florida crowd Tuesday. âRemember I said that?â
Another straw man argument. Public Policy Polling released a survey in 2016 that revealed 80 percent of Americans donât give a fuck whether you say âHappy Holidaysâ or not. And as BI notes, Ivanka Trump herself as well as several Trump-owned businesses have used the phrase âHappy Holidaysâ since he has been president.
In summation, your âpresidentâ is an old ass goofy liar who has a mouth that is shaped like an anus.
No wonder he is so full of shit.
