Yes, but at least with Trump, it's obvious right away that it's BS.
Contrast that, for example, to the Democrats' pervasive, non-stop lying (aided and abetted by the corrupt legacy media) about Biden's cognitive decline. Non-stop, that is, until his June 27 debate debacle, when they couldn't hide it any longer, so then they dumped Biden and started pretending that Kamala was a superb candidate for president, omitting to mention (of course) that she was the first to drop out of the presidential primaries in 2020 for lack of votes and that she was only chosen by Biden to run with him as VP as part of a deal Biden made with Clyburn to get the latter's support in the South Carolina primary to shore up Biden's then-floundering primary campaign. Kamala was a DEI choice.
BTW, I never voted for Trump. In 2016, 2020 and now again in 2024, I left the presidential line on my ballot blank, in order to indicate that NONE of the proposed candidates was acceptable.
