As a man of paradox, Donald Trump’s lying nature is legendary. The Washington Post Fact Checker has documented his 20,055 lies in 1,267 days in office. He can lie without qualms, from inconsequential matters such as the crowd size at his inauguration ceremony, to intentionally defaming others such as his conspiracy theory of Obama being foreign-born. He can turn black into white, then deny, like when he said he never dismissed the danger of Covid-19 (for many weeks, Trump said it was a hoax and not something to worry about).
