While Trump doesn't lie at all, we sane righties at this forum are having to read about every lie these TDS forum morons say about Trump. These TDS morons could for once save face and stop lying if they were to give Trump the credit he deserves as being America's greatest president.
“Trump doesn’t lie at all,” it’s actually sad, everyone knows this poster ^ knows Trump lies, but with obstinacy won’t let him admit the truth
This claim is a partisan talking point that collapses under scrutiny of scale, evidence, and historical record.
That said, Trump has made repeated false or overstated claims about the 2026 U.S.-Iran war (Operation Epic Fury, launched with Israeli involvement on Feb. 28, 2026).
Fact-checkers have documented them in detail.
But “lied more” than LBJ about Vietnam is unprovable hyperbole—and the wars themselves are not comparable in duration, cost, or deception’s consequences.
The 2026 Iran war (so far) is a limited, high-intensity air/naval/missile campaign (not a decade-long ground war). It involved strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, military targets, and the Strait of Hormuz, with relatively low U.S. casualties (26 soldiers + 1 contractor killed per available tallies).
It's true that Trump and officials (including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth) repeatedly claimed:
- “Total and complete victory. 100%. No question about it.” (April 2026, after announcing a temporary bombing pause).
- The U.S. had “overthrown Iran’s government” / achieved “regime change” and “destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability.”
- Every living former president privately told him they wished the U.S. had attacked Iran sooner (denied by aides to Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden).
- Iran was “wiped out” or combat-ineffective while fighting and negotiations continued into May/June 2026.
LBJ’s lies about Vietnam were more foundational and consequential.
Result: Vietnam became a quagmire with 58,000+ U.S. dead, millions of Vietnamese casualties, and a domestic credibility gap that shattered trust in government.
Context matters: Both presidents faced “credibility gap” accusations (many articles explicitly compare Trump 2026 to LBJ 1960s). Both used optimistic wartime rhetoric. But declassified evidence on Tonkin is ironclad; Trump’s claims are contemporaneous fact-check disputes amid partisan media warfare.
No objective scorecard exists: “More lies” depends on what you count (press conferences? Private doubts? Exaggerations?). Historians’ consensus on LBJ is settled by the Pentagon Papers and NSA archives. The 2026 Iran war is too recent for equivalent documentation.
Trump lied about the Iran war. LBJ lied about Vietnam—but more consequentially, on a bigger scale, with clearer documentary proof of deliberate fabrication to launch escalation. The “Trump lied more” jab is rhetorical overkill that ignores those differences. Both cases eroded public trust, but equating them flattens history.
LBJ and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara deliberately misled Congress and the public to escalate a major ground war.
Trump hasn't done that . . . yet.
I didn't fuck that goat I just put my dick in it and it moved around some.

trump's war is not over yet, so it is hard to compare. The Vietnam War was not anywhere near as bad as trump's war in 1955. It got worse, and so might trump's war.
Is that so?
Who told you that?
What "war in 1955" was supposedly "Trump's"?
So you say.
Is that a fact?
In 2023, Republicans had 222 House seats. In 2025, they had 220 House seats. They currently have 218 House seats. That is not gaining ground, that is lose ground.
Well at least you did not sexual abuse children like the other members of Team Epstein. It is like I always said, some members of Team Epstein sexually abuse children, and others sexually abuse goats.
I have a feeling that @Stone is also in the goat camp, or does he want to say he is in the other camp?
Wasn't Trump lying about COVID, was it?“Trump’s barrage of false or unproven claims about the Iran war”

It was Fauci nd the dems....and they are still lying...

The claim is that they fuck the kids, and then eat them.
Kids has two meanings. Kids can refer to young humans, OR YOUNG GOATS. Given we are talking about Team Epstein's problem with fucking both, which are you claiming @Stone is doing? I still think Stone is a goat fucker, not a human fucker.
I dont give a flying fuck about Stone.
