The Truest Words Donald Trump Ever Spoke

Even a pathological liar, given enough opportunities to speak, will occasionally let the truth slip out.

I haven’t seen a comprehensive tally since back in July, but at that time, through his first 1,200 days in office, President Trump had made more than 20,000 false statements. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is an AVERAGE of 17 verifiable lies each and every day he’s been president. Look, I’m far from perfect, don’t get me wrong. I have lied many times in my life, no doubt about it. But I can honestly say that I can’t imagine that I’ve ever told 17 lies in a single year, let alone 17 lies every single day for more than three years. That is absolutely astounding. And yet, it seems not to make even a tiny dent in the support Trump gets from right wing Christians.

Right wing Christians will argue until they are blue in the face about how homosexuality is a sin. Even if you can get them to agree that homosexuality is not a choice people make, but it is the way God made them, they will come back at you and tell you that the act itself is still sinful and homosexuals don’t repent of that sin, but rather keep doing it over and over. Yet, these same people stand solid in their undying support of a man who breaks one of the 10 Commandments an average of 17 times every single day. I don’t see anything about homosexuality in the 10 Commandments but lying is right there among them, so it must be kind of a big deal, right? But right wing Christians still claim that one of the all-time great liars was sent by God to save our nation. I don’t get it and I never will.

But Trump doesn’t always lie. He loves to talk and when he does, he does so without any filter. That means that he often reveals truths about himself and his supporters that are the God’s honest truth bombs. I submit that the truest thing that ever came out of Trump’s mouth was this, from January of 2016 when he was running for President.

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”

At the time, that seemed like an outlandish and foolish thing to say, but time has revealed that it was a spot on assessment of his most hard core right wing Christian supporters. That comment said a lot about Trump and what he thinks of his supporters. Basically, he was calling them stupid and they cheered him for it.

Since then, of course, we’ve seen this statement come true over and over again. Trump continues to manipulate the darkest aspects of his right wing Christian base in order to prey upon their most desperate paranoia fueled fears. Trump even found a martyr to act as his proxy in the very scenario he was referring to in his statement in 2016. Replace the word
“I” with the name Kyle Rittenhouse; replace “5th Avenue” with Kenosha, Wisconsin; replace “somebody” with BLM protesters; and replace “I wouldn’t lose any voters” with my evangelical supporters would raise money to fund his defense…do you see what I’m getting at? Trump is playing right wing Christians for fools and they are lapping it up with a spoon.

That is but one example of dozens and dozens like it.

Trump is not trying to hide that fact that he’s playing you like a fiddle behind lies, right wing Christians, he’s seen you coming from the very beginning and he’s worked you to perfection to the point where there is almost nothing left of the teachings of Jesus in your belief system.

I’d tell you to wake up, but I’m afraid it’s far too late for that.
