I mean by lies, actual lies. And politicians, as ever, know when they intentionally twist truth, or omit facts, as they always do if it is necessary to promote their agenda, and as media types do to promote theirs. "Blatant" lies, twisted or omitted facts, are all lies. And they have been the tactic of politicians, and media, and the vast majority of human beings for that matter, to convince others as to their (phony) veracity.
Your slick, sick, twisted definition of political lying is an excellent demonstration of con artistry.

Trump’s lying far surpasses any predecessors on quantity alone.
Far too many of his claims have no factual basis.
Anyone else would be embarrassed to be caught, and not just double down on the BS.
The downfall of General Donnie Bonespurs long con is coming.
I figure he’s going to show up on TV sooner or later in a uniform with epaulets so I’ve given him a new nickname and don’t worry:
The Meme is Coming

You have not actually made a count of how many lies politicians have made in the past and present. Your claim that Trumps quantity surpasses those of his predecessors is just convenient blather. It is the sort of lie, which has no factual basis, that typical politicians have always resorted to. |
