Lying Trump, GOP create their own reality. Which one do you choose to live in?

President Donald Trump, officials from his administration and a huge swath of the Republican Party lie as easily as they breathe.

Americans are perpetually bombarded with fabrications and fabulist nonsense from the president’s mouth, from behind the podium at the White House briefing room, from podcasts, from Fox News hits and from the halls of Congress.

Like no administration before it, including Trump’s previous one, this gang of dissemblers is bullishly creating an alternate reality and a disinformation shield impenetrable to facts. So the question for Americans amid this onslaught of propaganda is simple: Whose reality are you going to live in, yours or Donald Trump’s?

In Trump’s world, Democratic-led cities are war zones, prices are down, inflation is down, he has personally ended an ever-increasing number of wars, nobody cares about the Jeffrey Epstein files, his approval ratings are skyrocketing, and the country is “hotter” and more unified than ever.

In the real world, there are no cities burning to the ground (crime, in fact, is down considerably in Democratic-led cities), prices are up, inflation is up, Trump isn’t the war-ender he claims to be, a strong majority of Americans want the Epstein files released, Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet and Gallup recently found that only 29% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the country.

Well put, and I don't know what reality MAGATs are living in when they go to the grocery store.,

2. He makes many valid points there

I can do this all day, because the lying and the misinformation shoot out of this administration like water from a firehose.

They are unquenchably dishonest. They are also childish. When a HuffPost reporter recently asked White House officials who suggested Budapest, Hungary, as the site for an upcoming meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” while White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wrote back, “Your mom.”

Our tax dollars are paying these people to lie to us and act like juvenile jackasses.

Take a seat in actual reality. Things will work out better here.

If you believe in objective reality, if you’re able to use facts to reach sound conclusions, you can clearly see what they’re doing. They’re spinning a web of fantasy that keeps their rabid base in a constant state of anger and agitation while trying to delude Americans into thinking Trump is succeeding magnificently.

He’s not. At all.

If you’re going to pick a reality to inhabit, I recommend the one that’s real because the one Trump and Co. have ginned up is a propaganda palace that will, invariably, come crashing down under the weight of its own hogwash.

3. Dumbass republicans believe they create their own reality

That’s a pathetically true way of saying that they just can’t cope with real life.
