Trump Sets Debate Stage For Lying With Plea For No Fact-Checking




Reality TV star Donald Trump, who also happens to be the Republican presidential nominee, doesn’t appear to be interested in giving voters the truth at the first debate on Monday. When he faces off with rival Democrat, Hillary Clinton, Trump thinks fact-checking should be off the table.



Donald Trump says debate moderator Lester Holt shouldn’t try to fact-check the candidates at next week’s presidential debate.

Trump says it’s up to the candidates themselves to call out their rivals when they are wrong. Trump spoke Thursday in a telephone interview on “Fox and Friends.” He says the candidates should “argue it out.”

So what Trump is basically asking for is free TV airtime to spread whatever lies he chooses, to what could be the largest audience in US presidential debate history. Anyone see a problem with that?

What Donald Trump is asking for serves as a hint into just how gullible he believes the American public is and how little he really cares about honest governing. It also demonstrates his lack of respect for the entire democratic process. Winning by lying is the same as winning by cheating; it’s all just another part of The Great Con Game that Trump has played so well.
