Enough of the Trumpian lies already.

Beginning with...

Trump: "I will never lie to you." August 2016

AWTBC*: "You just did."

... and more recently...

Trump: "I often say Al Capone, he was one of the greatest of all time, if you like criminals. He was a mob boss the likes of which – Scarface, they call him – he got indicted once. I got indicted four times." Yesterday, 12/05/2023

AWTBC*: Al Capone was obviously indicted more than once.

What better way to downplay your criminality while simultaneously defrauding and fleecing the MAGAts, morons and marks out of their money? Poor Perpetually Aggrieved Donald. The con never stops.
