Biggest political lie: Let's make america great again.
It's kind of funny how a list of political lies ends with a lie. There was no "mass extermination" as many believe it happened. Do some independent research and the truth will expose itself.
Look at the trump…
This list is dumb on so many levels.
1. serveral are unfounded conspiracy theory.
Bush saying no weapons of mass destruction is only a lie if bush didn't belive it.
Isreal purposely bombing US ship is ridiculous. 6 days war is called 6 days war, because it took isreal 6 days to destroy the Arab army's. They needed to bomb US why?

My conclusion with Watergate is that Nixon didn't know or had anything to do with the break in at the Watergate Hotel. However, he did try to cover his party's ass (pun) by covering the whole scandal up. While the Nixon administration was involved, the President most likely wasn't.

I think number 1 of all time in the history of our mankind, it is America economy system.
even though they live in socialist state, they are able to convince people they live in capitalist world. and some how they connect the socialist with freedom. that's pretty amazing. driving a car and at the same time hating the highway.
#1 HOLYHOAX
Here's another one that spans a long time period: the Eastern Bloc governments during the Cold War told their citizens that the people of the West lived in poor conditions, poverty and were being oppressed by the capitalist elite. In reality, economic conditions in the West were far better than the stagnating East.
Bush and his father were the worst
The Suez Crisis in 1956. It was an open lie put forward primarily by Anthony Eden that lead to Britain and France invading Egypt in an attempt to stop the Egyptian nationalisation of the canal. All the invasion succeed in doing was obstructing the very waterway they were trying to "save"
