Whatever label might be put on Trump’s ability to continually lie – pathological,habitual, chronic etc……..there is one simple truth….the number of lies over his first and second [29 weeks] presidency run into the thousands.
Carole McGranahan for the American Ethnologist in 2017 – He is the most “accomplished and effective liar” to have ever participated in American politics; moreover, his lying has reshaped public discourse so that “the frequency, degree, and impact of lying in politics are now unprecedented”.[9]
Here is just a teenie weenie insight into some of his most outrageous lies:
[1] He stated that he had stopped a plan to spend a $100 million dollars on condoms for Hamas [2] Accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia [3] Stated that the US was the only country to have birthright citizenship [4] Trump asserted that the Canadian people “like” his idea of Canada becoming the 51st US state. [5] Childhood vaccines cause Autism – “20 years ago, Autism in children was 1 in 10,000. NOW IT’S 1 in 34,” Trump wrote. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that the known prevalence in 2004 was 1 in 125 children, not “1 in 10,000.” [6] Illegal immigrants from Haiti are eating cats and dogs in Springfield [7] Trump said that his first term economic agenda produced “the most successful economy in the history of our country.” [8] Kamala Harris wants to get rid of your cows [9] “If Jesus came down and was the vote-counter I would win California.” [this state was one of his biggest loses] [10] “Every job that was created in the last four years was taken by an illegal immigrant.” Trump stated that the number equated to 107% of jobs….which would mean that 7% didn’t even exist. [11] ‘You send your son to school and he comes back having had a brutal operation.’
