What a fine example he's setting for America!

Trump is now averaging 7.6 lies per day.

You obviously don’t understand nuance.
By the tone of his emotional meltdown this morning.....I think it's possible he's becoming more unhinged by the day.
There was one taken down where he was talking about a "smocking gun" found with Hillary and conspiracy. He is tweeting crazier stuff and more often and the lying has ramped up, even since last year. This isn't going to end well,
In this one he whines that he wasn't told by "the government" that Manafort was under investigation:
"
✔Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other highly prominent and respected political leaders. He worked for me for a very short time. Why didn’t government tell me that he was under investigation. These old charges have nothing to do with Collusion - a Hoax!
9:34 AM - Aug 1, 2018"
Obviously, that Tweet was meant to contradict the news reports that said 2-3 others had told him Manafort was under investigation -- it doesn't seem relevant that "the government" didn't also tell him, but Trump just doesn't understand.
Another thing Trump gets wrong is all his constant harping that the FBI is supposedly "conflicted" or "biased" against him. Who cares? Unless the cops are fabricating or misdocumenting evidence, it doesn't matter. The evidence controls if it is proper.
As an example, I'm sure if a cop works very long in the same city or district he will arrest the same criminal defendant more than once, because stupid criminals usually get in trouble more than once. There simply is no rule that a criminal suspect has the right to demand he be investigated by a fresh, new cop who hasn't investigated or arrested him before. Again, Trump's comments show how little he understands.
It is absolutely obstruction. And has been all along.
All he’s doing now is pouring more dirt on the grave of this charge.
Now, the question becomes “why is he obstructing”? As team Mueller draws closer, trump seems to go off the rails more and more.
Why? If he was completely innocent of everything, why would he be so pissed off? Shouldn’t the evidence clear him?
Remember, this investigation isn’t that old in terms of special prosecutor/independent counsel investigations. And instead of letting it play out and cooperating (refusing to interview with Mueller), he’s screaming and kicking.
It’s going to get worse. Hate to say it, but there will be a Saturday night massacre type event. Let’s jut hope he holds off until after the mid terms. My spider sense says he won’t.
A president can’t obstruct justice because a president is justice...or something like that.
No, do it before. That will just make the wave that much larger.
They might "halt" the investigation and fire all the principles, but I can guarantee Mueller's work product will remain and make it to the House and Senate.
They could pass new laws regarding the special counsel but even if dems took the house and won all 35 senate races they’d still be one vote shy of a veto proof majority. There’s only 9 pub seats up in ‘18 including seats in TN, TX, and MS...not democratic territory in any weather.
Interesting. Never gave this a thought. Regarding Trumps Manafort trial related infantile tweet, Jill Wine Banks as a guest on Lawrence's show last night discussed the possibility that it could be viewed as "Jury tampering." Makes sense, but I'm not an attorney, so I wouldn't know if it is, or not. I'm sure the board lawyers will weigh in with comments.

LOL.....look at this 4 Pinocchio whopper. What a total clown.
This is taking "alternative facts" to a whole new level. Now we are just fabricating steel mills out of the air!

How do you stop this when he just keeps saying it and his followers don't care? Beyond strange.
Maybe someone mentioned this. If so, I apologize.
The way he keeps harping about the Mueller investigation, he certainly acts like he is guilty as hell.
If he is innocent, he doesn't need to complain about it everyday; he would let it run its course.

Since Hoosier_Hack is not answering, I will help him out.
I think he would call it "untruth."
I don't know whether I feel sorry for Hoosier_Hack who cannot tell the differnce between truth and lie, or Donald Trump who is surrounded with supporters like Hoosier_Hack.
This is a rabbit hole I’m not running down. The OP uses different language than the linked source first. I went in and looked at the criteria they used for false and/or misleading .....eh.
Now you never answered what I asked..... costs?
let’s look at the border wall comments outlined. If he made phone calls and got parts of the wall that had already been appropriated in previous years but never erected, and got those started/finished, can you not see how that might be construed as the wall is being built? I find their criteria used misleading to a point. When they exaggerate they lose their position of strength.
To top it off, it is just stupid.
He promised savings. He proposed more debt.
Trump:
"It can be done. ... It will take place and it will go relatively quickly. ... If you have the right people, like, in the agencies and the various people that do the balancing ... you can cut the numbers by two pennies and three pennies and balance a budget quickly and have a stronger and better country."
Fact:
Trump's proposal assumes an annual gross domestic product growth of 3 percent. In July, the Congressional Budget Office released a report that placed growth at 1.9 percent under Trump's proposal, 0.1 percent higher than the office's baseline.
That lower growth number means that by 2027, deficit spending would be closer to $720 billion instead of the $16 billion surplus calculated under the White House proposal. (The House assumed an average 2.6 percent economic growth over the next decade and projected a $9 billion surplus by 2027 in its plan.)

It’s pretty obvious we haven’t cut taxes on millionaires and billionaires enough yet.
Trump:
"Trade wars are good, and easy to win."
Fact:
Trump Administration Plans Up to $12 Billion in Farm Aid to Ease Concerns Over Trade Disputes
Cha-ching!
Another example of an implication of racism that the lefty posters say doesn't happen here.
Trump:
“It’s gonna be so strong, nobody’s gonna mess with us. But you know what? We can do it for a lot less.”
Fact:
Trump Is On His Way to Record-Setting Defense Spending in 2018
Is it really a lie if no one believes you in the first place?
Trump:
"Mexico will pay for the wall."
Fact:
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would allow the federal government to shut down if Democrats do not fund his border wall
I'm thinking I could go on all day.
No need to play the "Holier than thou" card.
Do you really think Hoosier_Hack did not imply Obama? And Obama of all presidents?
He might have, I don’t know. However, you immediately implied that if he had a criticism to make of Obama, it was because of the color of his skin. Happens all the time around here so you’re not alone.
Would you believe it was based on his past postings?
Actually, it is based on the age-old theory:
"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
Sorry to disappoint you. BTW, I am not a Democrat nor was I ever. I used to be a Republican if you insist on knowing my political background, but didn't like the way they were turning out to be. Oh, I would say probably sometime around when you switched your party allegiance.
