Alright, so I looked into this a bit more. Seems like he's either thinking of Minnesota and accidentally saying Wisconsin, or, really believes it. Either way, someone should probably tell him

drumpf should have said he won 30 (plus maine cd2) out of 57 states. all would be forgiven.

First, that's a whataboutism. Let's address Trump's statement.

Second, the wage gap is a highly controversial issue. The 77 cents on the dollar is a misleading statement that doesn't control for other variables. I think the figure is actually 79 cents now, but that's completely beside the point.

Trump's statement is a blatantly false, non-controversial claim. And a self-serving one at that. His statement doesn't make logical sense no matter what way you look at it (Wisconsin or Minnesota), he's repeated the falsehood 3 times now, and the falsehoods have occurred over many months of time.



Yep. So I outlined the logic here. There's no real explanation for Trump's statement:

If Trump meant Wisconsin, Reagan actually did win Wisconsin and didn't lose the state like Trump said.

If Trump meant Minnesota, Trump didn't win in Minnesota, so he didn't win the state that Reagan lost.

He has said it 3 times now. Across many months. Either he got corrected and doesn't care (problem), got corrected and then forgot (problem), people are too scared to correct him (problem), people don't think it's important to correct him (problem), he doesn't think his statement is incorrect (problem), or he is intentionally making a false statement (problem).

There's a wide variety of possibilities for why he continually is making this false statement, and all of them are problematic. Perhaps there are some possibilities you can think of that aren't problematic.

Sure, we could blow this off as a nothingburger, but the POTUS consistently making false statements and us doing nothing to hold him accountable about is disturbing.

i've already made it clear trump's statement is obviously incorrect and extremely insignificant. I'm not even sure how this is something to discuss tbh which is why I mentioned something false a president repeated which is much more harmful

Yeah, it's factually incorrect I agree with you. Am not sure how to get this message to Trump, I assume his advisers could relay this to him but am not sure if they THINK it's high priority.

imagine being so triggered by your cult leader being exposed as liar again, that you have to resort to some lazy whataboutisms...

btw, is it also 'insignificant' to you that he doesn't know that ireland isn't part of the UK, and that he has no clue what 'hard brexit' means?

insignificant enought to reply - while also dodging your dishonest 'defence' and hypocrisy concerning your cult leader, how surprising...

I actually have a JS script that splits up your messages and removes the string after "your cult leader", so your posts actually look like this:



Here is the code (from your original post):



Try it out yourself. It works great, I love it!
