Donald Trump is a pathological liar. It is hard to review all of Trump’s criminality, racism, sexism, bigotry, xenophobia, inhumanity, and depravity (although in the coming days I will try). In the interim take a look at these five videos of Trump and listen to his seemingly endless succession of lies. This summary of deceit records Trump in his own words during the primaries and in each of the three debates. Of course he has also lied about climate change but, given that he has lied about everything else that should come as no surprise. Here is a debate excerpt in which Trump denies denying climate change. Than the Tweet that confirms the lie.
If you type “Trump is a pathological liar” into Google search you will get no less than 114,000 results. Some of the notables that share this view are New York Times columnist Charles Blow and investigative journalist and author Carl Bernstein. Politicians on both sides of the political spectrum share that view including Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz (who now supports Trump). It is safe to say that just about every thinking person who has heard the man speak cannot help but agree. It is the height of irony that Trump’s core follows say he likes “tell it like it is”
