Yay, we got him! That’s the game, folks, we caught Trump in a lie.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's quite a full-time game 🥲 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/
Well sure. Trump literally does not care about the truth value of any word-like sounds that squirt from his facial sphincter. The algorithm running through his toupee support system works like this:
- Is it something the idiots who support me will buy, at least long enough for me to come up with the next distraction? (Y/N)
- If Y, say it. Say it a lot. Say it everywhere and anywhere.
- If N, accuse everyone else of saying it.
That's it. Whether it has any relationship to the truth, good or bad, never enters into it. He's not even as honest as a liar, because a liar has to at least care what the truth is. He truly, genuinely doesn't.
And who's the one under pressure of war for years. Trump is a pussy!
Noting galvanizes trust like new enemies too. The more Trump talks about Ukraine the higher Zelensky's approval will go. But then again If Trump knew how to keep his mouth shut he probably wouldn't have even been convicted of any of those felonies hes got.
Not from the article but I’d just add “Donald Trump’s most recent approval rating, according to a Gallup poll conducted from February 3-16, 2025, stands at 45%. This is a slight dip from 47% in late January.”
Around 37% of respondents said they do not trust the president, a two-point drop since December.
So I guess 6% are indifferent?
Honestly, Trump bitching about someone and insulting them is more likely than not to be a positive indicator.
