    “But he tells it like it is!” they say.

    Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.

      “By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.”

      Anyway, those numbers are kinda impressive… in the saddest way possible… But I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any politician coming even close.

      I just tell the people who quote that line that they’re a fucking moron. Then they get all offended about ‘telling it like it is’.

      He lies, grifts and rapes. And they somehow have the nerve to draw parallels with other more distinguished politicians.
