When I wonder if Donald “Don the Con” Trump is lying, I check to see if his lips are moving. If the answer is yes, there is 76% chance that he is lying and that does not count the times when he tells half-truths (12%). So 12% of the time he is mostly telling the truth!
You say, “All politicians lie!” For comparison, Barack Obama (truth: 48%; half-truth: 27%; false: 25%) and Kamala Harris (truth: 48%; half-truth: 8%; false: 44%).
Another technique I have noticed watching Don the Con is he says things to support a position or policy and then he says the opposite, sometimes in the same speech. Also he denies saying something even when there is a video of him saying that very thing! Or he was just joking. Don the Con also uses the Big Lie technique to turn false statements into propaganda about his many enemies. By repeating a lie over and over, it becomes true to some people.
Trump’s false and misleading statements were documented by fact-checkers, including at The Washington Post, which tallied 30,573 false or misleading statements made by Trump over his four-year term. Trump’s falsehoods increased in frequency over time, rising from about six false or misleading claims per day in his first year as president to 39 per day in his final year. ~ Wikipedia
So what does Don the Con stand for? Mostly himself!
