The breadth of Trump's controversies is truly huge, ranging from allegations of mafia ties to unscrupulous business dealings, and from racial discrimination to alleged marital rape. They stretch over more than four decades, from the mid-1970s to the present day. To catalogue the full sweep of allegations would require thousands of words and lump together the trivial with the truly scandalous. Including business deals that have simply failed, without any hint of impropriety, would require thousands more.


Example:
Breaking Casino Rules

Where and when: New York and New Jersey, various

The dirt: Trump has been repeatedly fined for breaking rules related to his operation of casinos. In 1990, with Trump Taj Mahal in trouble, Trump's father Fred strolled in and bought 700 chips worth a total of $3.5 million. The purchase helped the casino pay debt that was due, but because Fred Trump had no plans to gamble, the New Jersey gaming commission ruled that it was a loan that violated operating rules. Trump paid a $30,000 fine; in the end, the loan didn't prevent a bankruptcy the following year. As noted above, New Jersey also fined Trump $200,000 for arranging to keep black employees away from mafioso Robert LiButti's gambling table. In 1991, the Casino Control Commission fined Trump's company another $450,000 for buying LiButti nine luxury cars. And in 2000, Trump was fined $250,000 for breaking New York state law in lobbying to prevent an Indian casino from opening in the Catskills, for fear it would compete against his Atlantic City casinos.


Good thing you have never worked for him:


Refusing to Pay Workers and Contractors

Where and when: various, 1980s-present

The dirt: Contractors, waiters, dishwashers, and plumbers who have worked at Trump projects say that his company stiffed them for work, refusing to pay for services rendered. USA Today did a lengthy review, finding that some of those contracts were for hundreds of thousands of dollars, many owed to small businesses that failed or struggled to continue because of unpaid bills. (Trump was also found to have improperly withheld compensation in the undocumented Polish worker controversy.)

Did ya'll go to Trump university??

Trump Institute

Where and when: Boca Raton and elsewhere, 2005-?

The dirt: Around the same time Donald Trump was operating Trump University, the allegedly fraudulent real-estate seminar for which he's now being sued, he also franchised his name to Irene and Mike Milin, serial operators of get-rich-quick schemes. Unlike Trump U., Trump did not own the company. Instead, he licensed his name, appearing in an informercial and promising falsely that he would hand-pick instructors. (He made a similar promise with Trump U.) As Jonathan Martin reports, the course materials at Trump Institute consisted in part of textbooks that were plagiarized.


Buying Up His Own Books

Where and when: various, 2016

The dirt: The Daily Beast noticed in FEC filings that the Trump campaign spent more than $55,000 buying his own book Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again. (The book has since been retitled Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America for the paperback edition.) That means Trump used donor money to his campaign to buy a book, sending the cash back to himself. Copies were given to delegates at the Republican National Convention.

I could do this all night. The list is long....

Can you read Huck?

Trump's total of 81 false claims last week was above his average of about 61 per week. Trump is now up to 1,636 false claims since July 8, an average of about nine per day.

This has NOTHING to do with Hilary or The Great Obama. This has to do with Trumps lies and the suckers that believe every lie that comes out of his mouth, the only people that are still harping on Hillary and Obama are you suckers and of course Trump!


The democrat party use to be a respectable party and now you have turned it into a bunch of lying, cheating liberal progressive, socialist den of thieves.

The only liar and cheat here is ...... Wait for it......
TRUMP!!!!!!

One more time:
Trump's total of 81 false claims last week was above his average of about 61 per week. Trump is now up to 1,636 false claims since July 8, an average of about nine per day.

You Butt hurt liberals through congress and throughout the United States wouldn't know what the truth is if it hit you right in the face. You all tell so many lies it makes you feel better to accuse our President of doing everything coming and going. You all are so sorry that Hillary lost after telling all her lies and knocking Bernie out of the campaign he was running and then Mr. Donald J. Trump beat her at the poles you can't stand it. I tell you one thing you are about one of the most pathetic bunch of losers I have ever saw in my life and I'm getting pretty darn old. The democrat party use to be a respectable party and now you have turned it into a bunch of lying, cheating liberal progressive, socialist den of thieves. I hope you all are proud of yourselves here on GoWilkes and throughout the country for telling all your lies and sowing discord everywhere you go.

Just a few more fun facts!

Cancer deaths

"U.S. Cancer Death Rate Lowest In Recorded History! A lot of good news coming out of this Administration." -- January 9 tweet from trump.

Facts First: The good news about the record low cancer death rate -- in 2017 -- was not news "coming out of this Administration." The American Cancer Society wrote the report to which Trump was referring; its chief executive officer, Gary M. Reedy, said that the data in the report reflects "prevention, early detection, and treatment advances that occurred in prior years," before Trump's presidency.

The cancer death rate declined "continuously" from 1991 to 2017, the American Cancer Society said in the report. Obviously, Trump could not even possibly have been responsible for the declines from 1991 through 2016.

Iran

The size of the Iran deal
Trump claimed six times that President Barack Obama or his administration gave Iran $150 billion as part of their agreement on Iran's nuclear activities.

Facts First: The sum in question was Iranian money frozen in foreign financial institutions because of sanctions, not US government money -- and experts say the total was significantly lower than $150 billion.

The length of the Iran deal
Trump claimed on four occasions that the nuclear deal with Iran expires "shortly," "so soon," "very soon," or in "a very short period of time."

Facts First: Some central provisions of the nuclear agreement with Iran were written to expire in the next 10 years. But the deal as a whole -- including a blanket prohibition on Iran developing nuclear weapons -- was written to continue in perpetuity, and some provisions run until 2035 and 2040.

Military planes
"After years and years of devastating defense cuts, we have fully rebuilt the United States military. Some of it's still coming in. We have everything. We've got new planes, we've got new rockets, missiles, we've got new everything, and it's either here or coming in, $2.5 trillion in new investments." And: "What we have now, we've never had anything like it. You know, we were looking at planes that were old and tired, 50-, 60-year old planes. You've heard this story. The grandfather flew them, the son flew them, the current wonderful person flew them, the whole family flew them. Those are all gone now, folks. Those are all gone." -- January 9 campaign rally in Toledo, Ohio

Facts First: This was a major exaggeration. While Trump's administration has invested in new military planes, it is not even close to true that the US military has "new everything" or that the old planes "are all gone now."

In December 2018, the Congressional Budget Office reported that the average Air Force plane in 2017 was 28.3 years old: "They range widely in age from the 75 new aircraft that entered service in 2017 to the 21 60-year-old KC-135 tankers that entered service in 1958. The largest share of the fleet is 26--30 years old." The average age for fighter and attack planes was 26.4 years, for bombers 42.0 years, for tankers 53.7 years.

Veterans Choice

Trump told an extended story about how he had supposedly come up with the idea for the Veterans Choice health care program only to be told that people had been unsuccessfully trying to get such a program approved for "48 years." Trump added, "But you know what I'm good at? Getting things approved. And we got it approved." -- January 9 campaign rally in Toledo, Ohio

Facts First: The Veterans Choice bill, a bipartisan initiative led by Sens. Bernie Sanders and the late John McCain, was signed into law by Obama in 2014 In 2018, Trump signed the VA Mission Act, which expanded and changed the program

NATO spending trends
Trump claimed three times that military spending by non-US NATO members was declining before he took office and reversed the trend.

Facts First: Military spending by NATO members had increased for two years prior to Trump's presidency. According to the latest NATO figures released in November, spending increased by 1.7% in 2015 and 3.0% in 2016.


Previous presidents and NATO
"And I went over, and I said folks, you got to pay your bills, you're delinquent, you know, you're delinquent. And then, they don't like me. They say, 'We like Obama better.' They should like Obama better. Obama would go in and say, 'Thank you very much for coming. I appreciate it. Bye-bye.'" -- January 9 campaign rally in Toledo, Ohio
Facts First: It's not true that Obama never pushed NATO members to increase their military spending. Obama and predecessor George W. Bush both did so, though their public language was less confrontational than Trump's has been.

Obama repeatedly urged NATO allies to spend more. "If we've got a collective defense, it means that everybody's got to chip in, and I've had some concerns about a diminished level of defense spending among some of our partners in NATO," Obama said in 2014 "The situation in Ukraine reminds us that our freedom isn't free and we've got to be willing to pay for the assets, the personnel, the training that's required to make sure that we have a credible NATO force and an effective deterrent force."
At Bush's final NATO summit, in 2008, Bush called on NATO allies to "increase their defense investments to support both NATO and EU operations."

The Turkey-Syria border
"One thing, I moved my troops out of Syria -- on the border between Turkey and Syria. That turned out to be such a successful move, Laura. Look what happened. Now they protect their own -- they've been fighting over that border for 1,000 years. Why should we do it?" -- January 10 interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham

Facts First: There is no basis for the claim that there has been fighting over the Turkey-Syria border for 1,000 years; modern-day Turkey and Syria were both part of the Ottoman Empire that was only dissolved after World War I, and the border between them is less than 100 years old.

The border he refers to -- the Turkish-Syria border -- was established in 1923
The exception to this is the province of Hatay, which passed from Syrian to Turkish control following a referendum," said Lisel Hintz, assistant professor of international relations and European studies at Johns Hopkins, who called a previous version of Trump's claim -- in which Trump said there had been fighting for "2,000" years -- "patently and irresponsibly false."

We find fault with Drumpf because he's a criminal.

Like his buddy Lev.

Just wait until the old orange slug slouches out of the Oval Office. He'll probably be in jail before they can get the smell of used adult diapers out of the upholstery.

You worthless trash commies all voted for Clinton. Clinton was forever branded a 'congenital liar" more than thirty years ago by William Saffire. If that goes back too far for your age, how about , you voted for a woman who destroyed 30 thousand e mails after those e mails were under subpoena . That's a crime. If Trump had done that you would be screaming , CRIME. You are hypocrites. You voted for a woman who broke phones with hammers to destroy evidence. You voted for a woman who had a server cleaned with 'bleach bit' to be sure no evidence could be recovered from it. And here you are finding fault with Trump?

You're dumb, you're transparent, and you're liars and hypocrites. None of that bothered you when you voted for her. Fools.

And that fool Mich is one of the dumbest of the dummies. I

What makes you think he knows Parnas. You're so dumb you think just because there's pics that he MUST know him. That's how dumb you are. There are hundreds of pics of Trump, and Clinton, and obama, and every other modern president with people they never saw before, and never saw again.

And Parnas is just another example of just how dumb YOU are. You're nothing but trashy blind sheep. You haven't had a political thought to call your own in years.

Wow smonk thanks for the info,this is really impressive:

Trump was exaggerating. According to local news station WTOL 11, the first in line for the Thursday night rally arrived at 12:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday -- just under 24 hours before Trump made this remark, not "two and a half, three days."

People actually arrived for Trumps rally a full day and a half early, since the rally started at 7 pm on Thursday and they arrived at 12:30pm on Wednesday.
And then they had to brave temps in the teens ( which I consider pretty much zero) to get to hear the POTUS.

And it was cold outside, but it wasn't quite "pretty much zero degrees" unless Trump was using the Celsius system without telling us. Using America's Fahrenheit system, the temperature dropped into the teen's in the Toledo area the night before the rally.

If you can find anything similar where this has occurred for the Dem candidates please share.

Trump doesn't lie. Trump will never take away obama's award by the Wash Po. as the one who told the "lie of the year".

Trump is brutally honest. That's your problem with him. Your handlers in the media simply twist his statements, and rearrange the words, and meaning to suit themselves and their narrative. And every Trump supporters knows that. The only ones being fooled by the media are the fools they are fooling. YOU.

You are the dumbest s on the planet, and that's no lie either. You totally prove it everyday. And this thread in no exception. You're s...ip.

You fools and your media handlers are so **** dumb, they actually went to the White House to see if there was really a dog getting a medal, when it was clearly a joke. That's just one example of how your handlers handle things they want to pretend is a lie.

That's how dumb the people are, who tell you how to think and what to say daily.

Let it be known that Trumpers do not care about what Trump does. It is nothing more than making people suffer because they felt so oppressed during Obama's term.
