@AverageJoe1 saidNon sequitur.
You are a NO. Time to move on.
Did you see all the dems not stand up to the Many Many traps that Trump set for them last night? From one murder vicitim to another that he cited, NOT ONE TIME did the dems stand up to honor their deaths and to condemn the slime that you posters continue to defend and support on the Forum.
@moonbus saidSo. Many. Lies.
The only traps Trump set, he got caught in himself. Here's a run-down of all the lies he told during his 'State of the Trump' address:

This is the primary reason I didn't watch it.
I knew it would be a vainglorious lie-fest.
Because I know who Trump is.
The ones who voted for him don't even know that much.

THE FACTS: Not true. Voters were unhappy with high inflation in the 2024 election, but the U.S. economy was far from stagnant. The U.S. gross domestic product rose 2.8% in 2024 after adjusting for inflation. That’s a stronger pace of growth than the 2.2% achieved last year during the start of Trump’s second term.
2. TRUMP: “Incomes are rising fast, the roaring economy is roaring like never before.”
THE FACTS: False. After-tax incomes, adjusted for inflation, rose just 0.9% in 2025, down from 2.2% in 2024, Biden’s last year in office.
The only thing "roaring" are ultra-hi-tech stocks, like nvidia. Average wage earners don't own nvidia stock. The people who own nvidia stock are people like Donald Trump, Mark Z'berg, Larry Paige, Bill Gates, Tim Cook.
3. CLAIM: “I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion pouring in from all over the globe.”
THE FACTS: Trump has presented no evidence that he’s secured this much domestic or foreign investment in the U.S. Based on statements from various companies, foreign countries and the White House’s own website, that figure is a fantasy. The White House website offers a far lower number, $9.6 trillion, and that figure includes some investment commitments made during the Biden administration.
4. TRUMP: “More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.”
THE FACTS: Yes, but it's nothing to do with Trump's policies. More Americans are working simply because there are more Americans--the population increased. The relevant figure is the proportion of Americans with jobs, which has fallen significantly in the last quarter-century, partly because the workforce is ageing and more people are retired. The proportion of Americans with jobs peaked at 64.7% in April 2000, and was 59.8% in January.
The unemployment rate is a low 4.3%, but was lower when Biden left office in January 2025, at 4%. During Biden’s presidency, the rate fell to a 50-year low of 3.4%.
5. TRUMP: “My first 10 months I ended eight wars.”
THE FACTS: This bogus claim has been debunked many times before--don't need to here again. Either they weren't wars, or he didn't end them.
6. TRUMP: Tariff revenues are “saving our country, the kind of money we’re taking in.”
THE FACTS: Though Trump has imposed massive tax hikes on imports, they’re not sizable enough to make a dent in the government’s annual budget deficits. Nor have the tariffs corresponded with manufacturing job gains.
7. TRUMP: “Tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax.’’
THE FACTS: Pure BS; foreign countries do NOT pay the import tariff--American importers do. A tariff is simply another name for a domestic tax, and AMERICANS pay it, not foreigners.
8. TRUMP: “I took prescription drugs, a very big part of health care, from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest. That’s a big achievement. The result is price differences of 300, 400, 500, 600% and more.”
THE FACTS: More typically imaginary numbers from the Liar in Chief. A more than 100% reduction in price would mean that pharmaceutical companies PAY YOU to take their drugs.
9. TRUMP: “The revolution that began in 1776 has not ended. It still continues because the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the heart of every American patriot.”
THE FACTS: In August 1775, King George III proclaimed Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion. The colonies declared independence in 1776. The revolution ended Sept. 3, 1783. There is no such thing as a permanent revolution; once a new and stable form of govt. is established, the revolution is over.

Everything?
It should be easier to name something he didn't lie about, but there aren't any.
