Donald Trump slams Pakistan for lies and deceit

America will make sure full destruction of Pakistan and escape from there. Later we will have to face the threats.
that's the thing, indian policy makers have to understand.. Pakistan is a wall which protects india, if Pakistan fall india will be vulnerable to all kinds of things. and N thing will be more devastating.
 
LOL
this sounds funny,
Pakistanis are taking trump as their own presient. Oh come on, pakistanis should not be having problem when he tells the truth. By the way he still holds merit when he says something at least million times better than Pakistani counterpart who lied to the world about Osama bin Laden.

Trump made 1,950 false or misleading claims in 347 days





WASHINGTON: As of Jan. 1, President Trump has made 1,950 false or misleading claims since taking office. He now averages 5.6 per day. Here are the five he says most regularly.

With just 18 days before President Trump completes his first year as president, he is now on track to exceed 2,000 false or misleading claims, according to our database that analyses, categorises and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president, reported The Washington Post.

As of Monday, the total stood at 1,950 claims in 347 days, or an average of 5.6 claims a day. The president has a tendency to repeat himself — often. There are now more than 60 claims that he has repeated three or more times.

The president’s impromptu 30-minute interview with the New York Times over the holidays, in which he made at least 24 false or misleading claims, included many statements that we have previously fact-checked.

We currently have a tie for Trump’s most repeated claims, both made 61 times. Both of these claims date from the start of Trump’s presidency and to a large extent have faded as talking points.

One of these claims was some variation of the statement that the Affordable Care Act is dying and “essentially dead.” The Congressional Budget Office has said that the Obamacare exchanges, despite well-documented issues, are not imploding and are expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future. Indeed, healthy enrollment for the coming year has surprised health-care experts.

Trump used to say this a lot, but he’s quieted down since his efforts to repeal the law flopped. Trump also repeatedly takes credit for events or business decisions that happened before he took the oath of office — or had even been elected. Sixty-one times, he has touted that he secured business investments and job announcements that had been previously announced and could easily be found with a Google search.

With the successful push in Congress to pass a tax plan, two of Trump’s favourite talking points about taxes — that the tax plan will be the biggest tax cut in US history and that the United States is one of the highest-taxed nations — have rapidly moved up the list.

Trump repeated the falsehood about having the biggest tax cut 53 times, even though Treasury Department data shows it would rank eighth. And 58 times Trump has claimed that the United States pays the highest corporate taxes (25 times) or that it is one of the highest-taxed nations (33 times). The latter is false; the former is misleading, as the effective US corporate tax rate (what companies end up paying after deductions and benefits) ends up being lower than the statutory tax rate.

We also track the president’s flip-flops on our list, as they are so glaring. He spent the 2016 campaign telling supporters that the unemployment rate was really 42 percent and the official statistics were phony; now, on 46 occasions he has hailed the lowest unemployment rate in 17 years. It was already very low when he was elected — 4.6 percent, the lowest in a decade — so his failure to acknowledge that is misleading.

An astonishing 85 times, Trump has celebrated a rise in the stock market — even though in the campaign he repeatedly said it was a “bubble” that was ready to crash as soon as the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates. Well, the Fed has raised rates three times since the election — and yet the stock market has not plunged as Trump predicted. It has continued a rise in stock prices that began under President Barack Obama in 2009. Again, Trump has never explained his shift in position on the stock market.

We maintain the database by closely reading or watching Trump’s myriad public appearances and television and radio interviews. The interviews are especially hard to keep up with, in part because the White House does not routinely post on them on its website. In fact, a recent redesign of the White House website appears to make it difficult to find transcripts of Trump’s remarks at the White House.

This project originally started as a first-100-days database, but by popular demand we extended it to one year. We will soon face a decision about whether to maintain it beyond one year, even though it strains the resources (and weekends) of our staff. In at least one instance, the database was used for academic analysis. We welcome thoughts from readers about whether it remains a worthwhile endeavor.

Pakistan can review cooperation with US if it is not appreciated, says Maleeha Lodhi

Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) Maleeha Lodhi condemned the United States (US) administration's aggressive remarks against Pakistan and said that Islamabad could "review its cooperation if it is not appreciated".

Referring to US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley's comments a day earlier where she had accused Pakistan of playing a "double game" with the US, Lodhi cautioned against "shifting the blame for [the US'] own mistakes and failures onto others".

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Lodhi said that Pakistan has "contributed and sacrificed the most in fighting international terrorism".

The diplomat added that Pakistan's role in the war against terrorism did not depend on US aid but on "national interests and principles".

Worsening relations
A war of words was triggered after Trump, in his first tweets on New Year's day, lashed out against Pakistan, calling the country a "liar".

Elaborating on Trump's tweets, Haley on Tuesday said that the US had withheld $255 million of military aid to Pakistan for the latter's alleged "harbouring of terrorists".

On the same day, US Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said at a press briefing that a detailed policy will be announced within the next 24-48 hours.

While announcing his national security policy last year, the US president had been quick to remind Pakistan of its 'obligation' to help America "because it receives massive payments" from Washington every year.

"We have made clear to Pakistan that while we desire continued partnership, we must see decisive action against terrorist groups operating on their territory. And we make massive payments every year to Pakistan. They have to help," he had said.

A Pentagon report to the US Congress, released to the media on Dec 17, had said Washington would also take 'unilateral steps' in areas of divergence with Pakistan while expanding cooperation between the two countries where their interests converge.

Subsequently, US Vice President Mike Pence had, in a surprise visit to Afghanistan's Bagram airbase on Dec 22, warned that Trump has "put Pakistan on notice" in what was the harshest US warning to Islamabad since the beginning of the Afghan war over 16 years ago.

The Pakistan Army spokesman, Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, had at a press conference last week asserted that the aid Pakistan received from the US was "reimbursement for support we gave to the coalition for its fight against Al Qaeda."

"Had we not supported the US and Afghanistan, they would never have been able to defeat Al Qaeda," he had said.

His briefing was considered perhaps the strongest-ever reaction from Islamabad since US functionaries began alluding to the possibility of unilateral action.

Hitting back at the US, the civilian-controlled Foreign Office (FO) had also warned against the "malicious campaign" being "used to trivialise Pakistan's achievements in the war against terrorism", and noted that "allies do not put each other on notice".

The FO had further complained that US statements are "at variance with the extensive conversations we [Islamabad] have had with the US administration".
 
Yes since u often post in usa threatening pakistan threads and educate us about their super advance military tech and how we should be building diplomatic ties with them, and how usa cutting trade with pakistan will leave us in shambles, i was waiting to hear ur views.
Every response has a context, my friend.

It doesn't take a genius to understand what can go wrong in case of US becoming hostile.
 
Time to test Taimur and Tipu (or any ICBM) along with MIRV .... both land based and submarine launched versions. I mean they cannot threaten to withhold any more aid, so why continue the moratorium?
 
Kinda way right... but without the Help of US they would have never succeeded in holding the line in the first place..
I'm not saying entire credit goes to US... but without them the war could never be won by UK and Russians... more than 60-70% of production for war came from US and US investments on other countries...

America enter the war when German were engage on multiple fronts and Mousilini was already half defeated .
 
Pakistan defense is very weak to counter any u.s attack.we lack air defence and also our navy is very weak .the only way to deter u.s is icbm which we are not able to test

ICBM with Pakistan means China will also be involved directly into the conflict. Means US will do everything to arm china's enemies.

Secondly at what accuracy Pakistan will be sure of mutual destruction against US icbm? It's a joke quite literally. Open your eyes man reality is very different from. Ambitions and dreams. Think about China. Grew at double digits for more than 3 decades still they can't match what US already Has. And US firepower is about double in just over a decade with high tech weapons. And in war times US can churn out enough weapon to arm whole NATO countries to teeth.

I think I also telling the same thing what u said in first few sentences. But come on now Pakistan want to threaten world's only superpower with nuclear missiles? Iran, North Korea may say what ever they want and give bold statements on hitting us. For them hitting US with missile is a great achievement and for US pining down these enemies will be a smooth ride. Funny people say US lost in Afghanistan, Iraq what a joke. All these countries were invaded in just few days. That's the fact
 
Replied diplomatically?? Surely your replies are not working. Sorry but the statement about hiring an auditor to audit the books sounds like 'Sir you may check I am not a thief' :lol::lol:
Only those who are neither liars or cheats or a thief would say so but naturally Indians would not understand this considering how you guys abused the H1B visa.
 
i have to agree here . Its shamefull That we as pakistanis lack balls when it Comes to america . Our politician and establishment behave in a very slavish manner While ignoring our status as nukes state . Worlds 5 (or 6 )most populated nation is benig treated like Somalië , pakistans behaviour should be the same towards them like we have with gangadeshi.
It's not about balls but sensible thoughts away from public eyes. Ur nukes or our nukes are just a midget dirty bombs while like trump says their nuclear buttons are fatter and larger

We can understand your psyche for being the cheerleader, more than US it's you people who are crying wolf.....has anyone paid any attention to your whining, oh wait they support your hearty desire for the UNSC. :laugh:
 
that's the thing, indian policy makers have to understand.. Pakistan is a wall which protects india, if Pakistan fall india will be vulnerable to all kinds of things. and N thing will be more devastating.

This is the only leverage Pakistan having when it comes to military actions from Indian side. Time is changing India is bolder and far superior to Pakistan in terms Of military power and man power.

See am not saying this to be a holy angels or something but why and how Pakistan making policies in 2k18 in same line of policies of 70s and 80s. Same narrative. You talk with us even if you face threats from non state actors in Pakistan or so called freedom fighters? U lost Afghanistan with these mentality, U lost India as peaceful neighbors which could had made Pakistan economically stronger. But I agree if Pakistan wanted peace with India then what is the purpose of two nation theory? Isn't it? But Pakistan authorities should understand we are parted away for good
 
Guys, just some context. It's trump. There's no need to overthink his tweets. Americans would laugh at us for putting so much thought and time into one tweet from Trump. They have been used to his mental gymnastics and his tweets are mostly a source for entertainment these days in the American media and the public. Just forget it and move on. He's all talk and bravado with very little substance.
 
The border fencing won’t be complete till the end of 2018 at best. I don’t think anyone thinks the accusations will stop with the construction of the fences. My best assessment is the best Pakistan can do is to completely and utterly suspend this relationship. It has to allow this relationship to deteriorate to its lowest denominator.

Trump will be lucky if he finishes his four year term. There’s no possibility of him winning re-election. Unilaterally suspending this rotten relations will allow Pakistan to reset everything with the next administration with clear rules of engagement and expectations, so Pakistan isn’t maligned and humiliated on daily basis while continuing to receive Pakistani services.

If Islamabad foolishly continues to salvage some sort of relationship from this mess, I am afraid the worst is yet to come. Future administrators will continue to tread the path charted by Trump and impose much more aggressive subversive measures. Pakistan has to walk out comprehensively to survive this coming storm. But it won’t. And that’s the real tragedy.
agreed walk away from this humiliation because this isn't working, he is speaking New Delhis language and we will never stand for that.

We can learn alot from Obama Israel relations in the second term, israelis waited for Obama to go and now look at them they are getting what they want from USA.

Pak should do the same till america chooses another POTUS

if war would have been won by superior weapons and men power than israel wouldn't have been on the face of earth.

if you wouldn't have captured others land, there wouldn't have been 3 wars and that N thing.

But I agree if Pakistan wanted peace with India then what is the purpose of two nation theory? Isn't it? But Pakistan authorities should understand we are parted away for good

Afghanistan was never ours historically, it was only one nation which vote against us in UN in 1947. it were we which consider afghanistan as brother nation even after they vote against us in UN and funded insurgency in balochistan in 70s.
