Can you name one other time in American history when a president didn't get everything he asked for and he was called a liar? Was Reagan called a liar when he didn't balance the budget? You see the problem right? The black guy in the WH was held to a standard that no other white person was held to. I think there's a word for that.

Has any other president at any other time been called a liar when he didn't get exactly what he wanted? No, so one of two things happened. Either the standards changed or it's racism based on the standards being changed. Did Bush know there were no WMDs in Iraq before he went to war? Yes. The UN couldn't verify one of his thousands of lies on the subject. Was he called a liar? No. Did Reagan (and Bush) lie about balancing the budget after cutting taxes? Yes. Were they called liars? No. When Nixon said he had a "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War and then ran on winning the war four years later was he called a liar? No. So we can clearly see the standards changed. Republicans lie (all of them) and then create standards that they don't have for themselves or other republicans to judge Obama and Democrats. Today, everything that Trump says is a lie. While some reporters are calling him a liar, very few do it on a daily basis. Why? Because everyone is so used to republicans lying that it's not news.
