Okay, I just don't get it. Non-partisan Politifact says Donald Trump's comments are false 71 percent of the time and outright lies 18 percent, while Hillary Clinton's are false 28 percent of the time and outright lies 2 percent. Yet, Clinton is "untrustworthy"?
In addition to his comments on Mexicans, Muslims, women, etc., Trump has stated he will bring manufacturing back to America. Meanwhile, his Macy's clothing line was made in China and Bangladesh.
He claims he is a "great negotiator" and will renegotiate trade deals, yet could not manage to keep a 55-year-old tournament at his Trump Doral golf course.
He claims to be a "winning" businessman whose list of failed ventures (Trump casino, steaks, Trump University, etc.) is remarkable. He has filed for bankruptcy four times (stiffing all of the small businesses owed monies). And he currently owes over $650 million to businesses and over $2 billion to investors.
He brags of buying politicians and promises to torture "terrorists" and kill their families. He says he knows more than the generals on fighting ISIS, could shoot someone without losing a vote, and on and on.
If this was Clinton's resume, she would have already lost. Yet, some fools still support Trump.
Nope, I just don't get it.
