I am far from an expert on campaign finance law but I dont think what Trump is suggesting is illegal. I have always maintained that every President commits some kind of campaign finance violation in their re-election campaign even if its unintentional. Someone gives you millions of dollars to help your campaign its going to affect your judgement. Thats why I support having only 1 term for Presidents that are 6 years. Its only a matter of degrees. Some violate it a little and some violate it a lot. Quite honestly Trump is the worst liar I have ever seen. Like a 5 year old level bad. I would say he is a pathological lia but I would call it more of being a narcissistic liar if thats is a thing. Let me list some very recent just bold faced lies of Trump
""Prior to the plague, we were starting to get that number down. We were getting that number, the interest rates were so low and we were seeing things on such a positive scale, we had no choice but to put money in, You had to put money in, you had to force money in because of the pandemic, but we were starting to focus on that very, very deeply. We were making it long-term, we were getting ready to pay off interest, we were getting ready to pay off debt, and a lot of good things were happening."
“The World Health Organization just admitted that I was right. Lockdowns are killing countries all over the world. The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.”
Heres what the WHO actually said.
"We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus. The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources; protect your health workers who are exhausted. But by and large, we’d rather not do it."
"What would Joe Biden's plan do for you?" the ad says. Biden's a career politician who spent decades raising taxes. … So what would the Biden plan do for you? Raise your taxes? That's it."
Bidens proposed changes in taxes are as follow
- Increase the top corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%
- Raise the top individual federal income tax rate to 39.6%
- Place a 12.4% Social Security tax on incomes above $400,000
- Tax capital gains at the same rate as ordinary income for very high earners.
So yes, I am calling a person who cant go 2 sentences without telling a lie a liar who has a bad habit of confessing publicly.
