President Trump has repeatedly touted a lie about Obama being barred from even touching down in the Philipines in his Air Force One despite him never being faced with such problems.

Mr Trump’s false claim Obama “didn’t land” in the Southeast Asian country because of his “horrible” relationship with the country wholly misconstrues the reality of the situation.

In reality, it was Obama who decided to cancel a meeting with Philipines President Rodrigo Duterte in September 2016 after the two world leaders had a row over mass killings in the Philipine drug war.

But Obama did visit the country a year earlier – before Mr Duterte became president – and his trip was hiccup-free and free of landing problems.

How do people who wouldn't vote for Hillary because she was a liar square the fact that Trump is a pathological, unapologetic liar?

You do realize that the info you posted pretty much says what Trump said, dont you?

Quote: “I mean, the Philippines, we just could not have been treated nicer. And as you know, we were having a lot of problems with the Philippines. The relationship with the past administration was horrible, to use a nice word. I would say ‘horrible’ is putting it mildly. You know what happened. Many of you were there, and you never got to land. The plane came close but it didn’t land.

“And now we have a very, very strong relationship with the Philippines, which is really important…. So we’ve accomplished a lot.”

This is an intentional misrepresentation of what occurred, the plane did not swoop in close, and was turned away. Obama saw the rampant human rights abuses Duterte supports, spoke out, and refused to see him. It's a totally different story, and his recollection of it is patently disingenuous.

Now that being said, I'll gladly meet you guys halfway and be fair. This statement is not as blatant as his absurd lies about Obama wiretapping, Obama birth certificate, victory crowd size, relative presidential victory statistics, voter fraud, his stance on the Iraq war, the amount of times he's been on the cover of Time magazine, his generals stance on transsexual individuals in the military, the actual vetting procedures we put immigrants through, how the unemployment figures work, whether or not WaPo or the NYT apologized to him for their coverage, his graduation ranking, the cause of protesting at airports, his approval ratings, the murder rate in the US, his connection to wikileaks, his administrations knowledge of Flynns transgressions, his administrations connections to Russia, the amount of money he saved on the jet deal, his connections to Manafort, his connections to Bannon, the cost of a border wall, and the veracity of claims that Clinton should be locked up.

Still though, I think we're doing a disservice to the role of POTUS for us to excuse his lazy and dishonest reinterpretation of what actually occurred simply because he's told worse, more explicitly false, lies.

Didn't a recent analysis find that trump either lies or misstates fact at around 5 times a day?

Only five? He'll have to step it up if he wants to make it in DC.

Mind pointing to any other analysis showing other politicians rate of lying? If not, what exactly are you basing this on?

Obama was correct to criticize Duterte.

Ironic. Can you remind me which US President legalized extrajudicial killings of American citizens?
