According to Politifact, he lies the majority of times. I don't have the inclination or patience to filter out what are partial truths.
It's amazing how he's suckered the majority of Americans.
I don't think he suckered the
majority of Americans. After all, there are approximately 320 million Americans. If he indeed won 62 million votes, we may reasonably infer that many of the people who voted for him were not suckered. Most may have simply cast their votes for the person whom they believed was the lesser of the two evils the corrupt political parties put in front of us.
I didn't believe either a Hillary presidency or a Donald presidency would be good for America or Americans. I didn't vote for either of them. The older I get and the more I see and hear and learn, the more I believe our "democracy" is a façade. The parties take their orchestrated turns in the seats of alleged power in service to their true masters (the top 1 percent), not the people. The most politically rabid common folk get their daily dose of red meat to squabble over, which makes the "divide and conquer" tactic one of the most effective tools in the ruling cabal's tool bag.
Both corrupt parties claim to be champions of the "working class". Bullshit. Both corrupt parties serve the same master and the "working class" people are divided and conquered. This is a very successful formulation for the "ruling class". If you have any doubts, Nancy Pelosi put it in perspective for us:
“I don’t think people want a new direction,” Pelosi told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families.”
“Let me just put that in perspective,” Pelosi said. “When President Clinton was elected, Republicans came in big in the next election. When President Bush was president, we came in big in the subsequent election. When President Obama became president, the Republicans came in big in the next election.”

In other words, the divide and conquer strategy works to maintain the rabid divisions among the working class. (And those divisions are stoked by the media owned by corporations, i.e., controlled by the top one percent.) America, land of the free. Or maybe not.
