The Staggering Level of Dishonesty: Donald Trump

I can't vote for this guy again.

Trump literally declared during his latest CNN Town Hall that he did not -- repeat, DID NOT -- shut the country down over COVID.

He then tried to play fast and loose with this one question about shutdowns, asking if the speaker was talking about budget shutdowns or COVID shutdowns.

He then went on to defend his poor record on fighting the public health crises that emerged on the country starting in late 2019. He actually stated that he did not shut the country, and then in other town halls he has declared that DeSantis was the guy all in on Fauci fascism and lockdowns, shutdowns, and health mandates.

That is a total lie.

Check out his lie here:

Yes, he did shut the country down. 

 He shut down the airline industry. He shut down travel. He declared "two weeks to slow the spread," and two years later, the county was still reeling from lockdowns, shutdowns, vaccine passports, health mandates, and the rest.

The more I reflect on what happened four years ago, the more tragic the whole shut-down culture becomes. What a constitutional travesty, that state and local, and especially federal governments went along with shutting down our country.

I gave President Trump a great benefit of the doubt when he failed to deliver on key promises during his first term. He got other great stuff done in terms of economy, energy, and protecting the rights of religious adherents ... until 2020.

He went along with shutting the country down, folks, We cannot ignore that, and we cannot deny that. He pushed the vaccine through at "warp speed" (pun very much intended), and yet he justifies that horrible move again and again.

And the lying doesn't cease. Check out what he said about Governor DeSantis at another Fox News Town Hall (where he took no questions from the audience--again--as usual:

Rightfully so, Trump got the Community Note treatment. He has adopted the Gavin Newsom-Nikki Haley approach to politics. Just lie, and when your opponent calls you out for lying, just keep lying again and again with the straightest face possible.

And just in case you have any doubts about Trump's true record on COVID-19 and lockdowns, check out this incredible, informative, comprehensive Twitter thread:

TRUMP LOCKED DOWN THE USA OVER COVID-19!

Shame on every voter who ignores this disturbing fact. You cannot Make America Great Again if you give into foreign viruses and tyrannical mandates. It's a sad day indeed that liberal Sweden was more ... liberal in a good way than the United States was!

As for American politics today, it's really abhorrent how bad things have gotten in our modern politics. Politicians just lie with unkempt impunity now. Will voters actually hold these campaign liars to their feet, or not?

In California, we know that the populace has no problem with Newsom's lies, tyranny, and corruption. The voters have made their beds, so let them lie in them (and yet, pun intended once again). Will the nation's voters go all in on these lies again, too? Let's not forget that Newsom presided over one of the worst COVID-19 lockdowns in the country, and in Los Angeles County, the 

Perhaps the most staggering level of dishonesty belongs not to Donald Trump, but to the general voting public which is willing to be easily deceived, conned into the MAGA grift for one more election--and who knows if there will be elections afterwards?
