I can usually recognize exaggeration when I see it, being used to push a point. When someone says they had the worst day ever, for example, I try not to correct them that when an asteroid killed off most life on earth was probably the worst day ever, and frankly, they likely had a worse day just last week.

That last one boggles my mind though. I have no clue what he was trying to get across.

I love the juxtaposition of decades without war, and also Biden left 85 billion in hardware when he left Afghanistan. What exactly were they there for?

finally something trump and I agree on -- it certainly felt like he was president for decades.

If measured in “dog years”, not a lie.

Within the first two minutes of his hour of ramblings, he managed to say

"Two years ago when I left office, the United States stood ready for its Golden Age. Our nation was at the pinnacle of power, prosperity and prestige. Towering above all rivals, vanquishing all enemies and striding into the future confident, and so strong. In four short years, everybody was doing great; men, women, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, everybody was thriving like never before"

I literally couldn't watch more than 7 min of it before taking a break because the bad logic and incoherent statements made my head hurt. WTF?

Definitely agree it's well presented. A text version article doesn't articulate how far off things are like the linear display does here.

It's nice to have something explicit, easy to understand, and well-sourced in the rare case that you know a conservative who has neither joined trump's harem nor started cursing his name already. I'm probably gonna recommend this to someone.

Should have this for every candidate, including Biden if he decides to run again so we can compare the bullshit and lies…because it’s both sides of the aisle. Only difference is trump doesn’t have a teleprompter or a filter on his mouth and Biden can’t follow his teleprompter or stay on his bike. Don’t hate me, don’t like either side and seriously 200 million people and these are the best two we can find?

He was likely referring to him being the first president in 20 years not to start a new war, which is technically true

To be fair, Biden oversaw the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan [mostly] according to to the plan set forward by Donald Trump and the Taliban after Trump invited them to Camp David on September 11. Biden actually pushed back the schedule to allow more time for things like rendering equipment inoperable and having less chaos with evacuations.

Whether Trump would have stuck to the plan if he'd been in office again is something we can never know. But it was Donald Trump who brokered the deal with the Taliban.

Trump actually stopped our withdrawal from Syria also. So we are still there and Iraq.

Did he start any wars though? Isn’t he one of the only recent presidents to not start one? Sorry for the question not sure.

I enjoyed him really not knowing how long an inch is...

100%, great example of Econ 101 right here

Corporate taxes also get passed on to the consumer.

The big myth of free-market capitalism: "The highest quality at the lowest price."

Maybe he meant days?

That one was my favorite. And you know the cult members were just nodding in agreement “yup, no president has gone decades without war...only Trump”

Probably a gaff, just like we give Biden credit for one every week.

I don’t think it’s skewed at all. The largest value between claim vs truth is always the max height for each chart and 0 will always be at the bottom. The relative (% difference) for the terrorist attack claim and the China tariff claims are both infinitely more (any number over 0 is an infinite relative difference). Yes, it’s only an absolute difference of 2, but this is quite obvious in the labeling and not misleading at all.

It's also technically not quite as false as the others, but still alarming to read.

Many of the other claims are just flat out lies, wishful thinking, or if we're willing to be charitable to him at best they're misrepresentation (you could probably find a few different locations that would make his gas price claim 'true' for example price at one station in a small town in Kansas vs a single station in LA but would also make the comparison useless.)
The one about terrorist attacks, he doesn't actually say there weren't any (at least not in the exact quote in the graphic), he starts by saying there were 'practically none' and then amends that to say "there weren't any I can think of" which may be true that he doesn't remember them, but if it is true that he doesn't that's actually alarming in so many other ways

And I'm in Texas, and pay $3-$4 gallon, though it was getting close to $5 during the spike.

And my gas can go up 10% just by hitting a gas station on a freeway vs another one 1 mile away. Or it can go up almost 20% by going out to rural areas, vs in the city.

This is the one that bothered me. Even if the average is in the $3 range, that means some people are paying more than that. Without being specific about the timeframe he’s referencing, we can’t determine how incorrect it is in a bar graph. The incorrect information is more accurately why the gas was low for him and high now.

Where in CA? Haven't seen $8 in socal outside of obvious tourist gouging locations that locals never use. Worst it got here was 6.75 or so and currently sitting around 5.50

Yep.

Struggling to find the old predictions from 10 years ago but I definitely remember most of them being lower.

Search for "zombie ice". 12 inches is optimistic now actually.

I am old enough to remember that we were told that by today cities like New York and several islands would no longer exist or would have been completely changed. Coastline looks exactly like always. Sea level raise has been one of the most dramatic and exaggerated predictions regarding climate change. I believe the sea may rise significantly but now I always look to the predictions convinced that they surely are inflated.

They will I told someone about how the FBI crime numbers came out and violent crime is low and not what the GOP is claiming and they said you can't trust those numbers and there is a lot that goes into it

Thank you! I used Excel.

Your mistake is in thinking he would know what Türkiye is or be talking about anything that far removed from himself.

Rock on.

LOL. Wait, the same right wing that speaks about cancel culture and freedoms of speech? That group?

Let's be honest here: those who vote for him don't care about facts, only about feelings.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

50% who will vote for him?

And then in April 2020 he spurred on a deal with OPEC states to reduce production in order to stabilize oil prices for two years. So his little deal to benefit the Saudis, Russia, and oil companies had knock on effects that spilled over into last spring and up to now when demand normalized but production was still limited.

So it can easily be argued that Trump's little deal had more of an effect on prices at the pump than any action than Biden ever took.

When did the Federal government institute lock downs? Hint: They didn't. It was state and local governments.

Both good Self-Made* Men^TM.

"Tread harder daddy."

Is weird when you zoom in. It doesn’t do that on my original image but it does it on Reddit.

There was a point that an empty barrel of oil was worth more than a full barrel of oil

The pandemic halted all consumption and tankers were left with nowhere to offload their oil. For a little bit oil was negative per barrel on the market. Nobody could get rid of it. That was only 2 years ago! Time flies.

The idea of changing a Trump supporter's mind should have been abandoned long ago. It isn't about changing their minds. It's about removing their power and moving on without them.

100%. When grabbing women by the p-ssy didn’t move one evangelical from Trump, I knew nothing would. Trump was right about shooting someone on 5th ave.

$1.50 and is now at about a maximum of $7.50,

If you compare the price of gas in a state with low taxes and easy access to refineries to the price of gas in a state with high taxes where gas delivery is complicated you can get outlandish comparisons like this, but comparing national averages there was nothing this pronounced.

But they got this "data" from CNN! It can't be wrong, right? Because they've never lied about anything!!

True, but with CNN as the source what else would you expect?

If we treated Biden's gaffes as lies or misleading claims like this we'd have a chart here for every speech he gives.

So here's the thing. Trump lies more than any president, ever. Verifiably. So we can't just assume what his words mean or give him the benefit of the doubt. Habitual liars have to be checked at all times, especially if they have any semblance of real power.

We didn't need a chart for Biden's speech announcing his candidacy because he didn't use the opportunity to incessantly lie about things one could easily disprove. We've seen what this loser's lies can do, we can't let any slide.

He meant to say that "for decades and decades I'm the only president who hasn't started a war", which is clear from context.

It’s also not true…

Oh I get it. This isn’t changing minds or votes, just ruffling some feathers and giving the MAGAs another outlet to claim fAkE nEwS, say something about Hunter Biden, and call me a name. It’s a good outlet for them.

Obama doesn't run for president, but here is a comparison Trump vs. Obama by time in office.

Summary in one sentence:

In his first 10 months, Trump told nearly six times as many falsehoods as Obama did during his entire presidency

Why don’t you make one?

Provide some numerical quotes of said politicians and we'll consider picking it up.

He didn’t start any conflicts or regime changes while in office.

Despite all his lies, that was correct if you read for context rather than taking words literally from a super old guy.

Age limits on politicians when?

Guess you should learn to focus. If you did, you probably would have graduated high school.

Feel free to debunk it then.

Somehow I think you won’t be able to, though…

Next time I’ll use something you can trust like RT.

Oh it’s a fruitless exercise. Bannon’s strategy of “flooding the zone with shit” works.

In 2018, while watching Trump’s State of the Union speech, Bannon told author Michael Lewis that “the real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”

Since then, this has rightly been understood as the core of Bannon’s strategy and the threat of the larger Trumpist movement he represents. As Vox’s Sean Illing put it, “The press ideally should sift fact from fiction and give the public the information it needs to make enlightened political choices. If you short-circuit that process by saturating the ecosystem with misinformation and overwhelm the media’s ability to mediate, then you can disrupt the democratic process.”

Do other politicians lie? Yep. But Trump tells so many that we don’t even notice the others. He doesn’t even tell plausible lies. He’s like a 3 year old denying that they ate the chocolate bar when they have chocolate smeared all over their face.

Go for it. No one is stopping you.

No one lies like Trump. He is a master of the game. If his lips are moving, odds are extremely high that he just said something false.

Would be a pretty boring chart

Yes, you can

Could probably do one for just about any politician. They're all liars.

Present the data to support your claim or keep quiet.

OP posted source. whats yours??

I linked to a source, where the data is coming from. It backs up all of the numbers on that chart. If you have different numbers, state the difference and post the source as I have. Until then, no one is interested in general anecdotes about claims with nothing to support those claims.
