That President Donald Trump often doesn't tell the whole truth, or even part of it, is not new.

But what is new -- or at the very least newsworthy -- is how rapidly the rate at which Trump doesn't tell the truth has sped up over the past year. According to The Washington Post's invaluable Fact Checker, Trump said more than 6,000 things in 2018 that were either misleading or false -- a rate of almost 16 untruths a day.

His MO is clear by now. He finds a part of a fact or an anecdote or something that he believes illustrates his point. He does zero fact checking because, well, he's not interested in whether or not what he is saying is true. (He's interested in whether it helps him convince people -- and by "people" I mean his base -- that he is right and the "fake news" media is wrong.) And then he just keeps repeating the "fact" until he has persuaded people that he is right.

Yup. And they just keep swallowing it up.

I thought this was going to be about you having sex or something, not a political thread....bummer

Kinda like that you mentioned swallowing though

Trump et al don't need no stinkin' facts. Science is "fake news"! Evidence is "prog propaganda".

It's all about feelings with them. You just have to "not believe" any inconvenient truths.

I wonder if there's a Moore's Law for Trump lies.

Yup....and it's because the (D)'z aren't offering anything better, just woke trash and vapid virtue signaling.

Liars respect liars. Just as traitors support traitors. And stupid people respect stupid people. Pretty simple really.
