Viewer's Guide: Trump's Pathological Lying



At 9 p.m. EST this evening, we'll be checking out CNN's special documentary, "All The President's Lies." We're certain that they'll only be able to cover the most egregious, since according to the Washington Post's fact checkers, demagogue and con man Donald "Pants On Fire" Trump has told 13,435 lies or misleading claims up to October 9, 2019, since soiling the Oval Office. The Poynter Institute's PolitiFact says Trump's statements show he's lied or misled 85% of the time (from Half True to Pants on Fire).

Trump claims he wants to testify at his almost certain Senate trial (under oath, please). That would be good for a few dozen more lies, but you know his lawyers won't let him (and Senate Republicans would cover for him even if he did).
