We Need a Truthometer!
What you ask is a Truthometer? Well, it’s like a thermometer that heats up when someone lies — kind of like Pinocchio's nose. Used to be we had Snope’s for this. They kinda .. well I don’t know but they aren’t right anymore. Of course we have pants on fire, pinochio’s, etc — all great for the sort of academic research one needs for fact checking the Orange skid mark on the fruit o’ the looms who’s currently the RNC candidate.
But, it’s quite an academic exercise. I’ve even taken to asking Chat GPT to summarize the skid marks honesty, and the results highlight the “Artificial” in “Artificial Intelligence”. Getting clarity on the truth has never been murkier. The funny part is I recognize EXACTLY how Trump is doing it, back from years on debate and speech in college.
Basically, he just makes up evidence as he goes that sounds reasonable on the assumption no one will ever check. Just lie your tail off, and who really cares? It’s all just propaganda anyways, none of the MAGA crowd will give a flying fig over facts. Its just not their thing. They like the show, the group solidarity, and of course sticking it to the libs is always fun.
What we need is a flashy neon lights Truthometer that’s running full time, especially on rally and debate nights. Really flashy, with constant push messages to the press, live stream on discord, and a host of different influencers pushing it full time. Give it a little time but with a roll out that would make Marvel blush, it could work!
Next go all historical — find Trumps “most lies ever day”. Seriously — there has to be one day he said the most lies — probably a debate but it would take some serious work. Chat GPT just said :
To find the specific day when Donald Trump made the highest number of non-truthful statements according to these sources, you would typically need to search their archives or databases for analyses covering Trump's statements over the course of his presidency or specific time periods. These sources provide a detailed breakdown of statements and their fact-checking assessments, offering insights into the accuracy of public statements made by political figures.
So I worked a little harder and asked if he lied — on that at least according to our free online AI :
Yes, Donald Trump has been documented by numerous fact-checking organizations and media outlets as making false or misleading statements throughout his presidency and before. These statements have been scrutinized for accuracy, and various sources have cataloged instances where Trump's claims did not align with factual evidence or were found to be outright false.
Fact-checking organizations such as PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, and The Washington Post's Fact Checker regularly assess statements made by political figures, including Donald Trump. Their analyses categorize statements based on their veracity, ranging from true to false, with varying degrees of nuance in between. These assessments are based on publicly available information and evidence, providing a resource for understanding the accuracy of public statements made by politicians.
Well, so I’m not crazy that stuff he says is fake! Whew! But I had to press further — and I asked the oracle — “Using publicly available documents, Prior to January 2022, what does Donald trump lie about most?” Finally, something you could almost call useful!
Prior to January 2022, based on analyses from fact-checking organizations and media reports, Donald Trump was frequently scrutinized for making false or misleading statements across a range of topics. While the specific subjects varied, several recurring themes emerged where his statements were often found to be inaccurate or unsupported by evidence:
-
Economic Achievements: Trump frequently touted his administration's economic accomplishments, such as job creation and GDP growth, which were sometimes exaggerated or taken out of context.
-
Healthcare and COVID-19: During his presidency, Trump made numerous claims about healthcare policy and the COVID-19 pandemic that were often contradicted by public health experts or factual data. This included statements about the effectiveness of treatments, the severity of the pandemic, and the availability of testing and supplies.
-
Immigration and Border Security: Trump made claims about immigration trends, border security measures, and the construction of the border wall that were sometimes misleading or lacked context.
-
Foreign Policy and International Relations: Trump's statements regarding foreign policy decisions, diplomatic relations, and international agreements were scrutinized for accuracy and consistency with established facts.
-
Election Integrity and Voting: Trump made numerous unsupported claims about voter fraud, particularly during and after the 2020 presidential election, which were widely debunked by election officials and courts.
Of course it’s still pretty milk toast but for half baked analysis not bad! It begs the question — could the Truthometer ever be real? With money heck yes. The free AI searchs above took a little work to get the wording right, but eventually it got to the point. With all the screaming about President Biden’s old age, why not scream back in a really high profile way about TFGs utter inability to tell the truth?
Realistically — he has no idea and could care less. He’d never waste the energy to learn facts. All he has to do is his schtick and it sells. Lets make him eat his words! Truthometer is a great start, if only some party with big money would pay for it.
