Don't see why this is a story, Trump likely tells as many lies before breakfast than most people tell in their life. The right love it, they swallow each and every one.
Incorrect.
All politicians lie.
" there will be no gst under a government I lead"
" we will not change cgt for home investors".
" there are WMDs in Saddam's possession".
" we are closing the gap".
The public appreciate Trump is the only one who is authentic about it.
He is a bull shitter, he is not a liar.
People accept the former, not the latter
As a liar Trump very likely surpasses even the infamous Lying Rodent if not it would be close. These two are at the very top of the tree in terms of deliberate dishonesty and a far distance in front of anyone else.
Both of these have periods in office where they recorded over 30,000 lies, in Trumps case I believe it is now over 50,000 and counting.
George Brandis a Liberal politician was tasked with supporting Howards lies over children overboard when he gave PM Howard the title of the Lying rodent as he was the person trying to defend his lies in the children overboard inquiry. He was fully aware that he was being required to lie in order to defend lies and hated it.
