When it comes to lying, Trump is nonstop

On June 1, just less than 500 days into the president’s term, The Post had counted 3,251 false or misleading claims by the commander in chief. Trump continued that dizzying pace during Thursday’s NATO news conference, and then launched his visit to Britain by trashing that country’s prime minister and brazenly lying about it a few hours later.

“I didn’t criticize the prime minister,” Trump said, shortly after criticizing the prime minister. He blasted Theresa May’s handling of Brexit and declared that her fiercest political rival, Boris Johnson, “would be a great prime minister.” Hours later, Trump dismissed the reprinting of his own words as “fake news,” even though the Rupert Murdoch-run Sun tabloid had his attacks on tape.

Trump’s bizarre denials mirrored a claim the president made a week earlier when he tweeted that he had never supported a GOP-drafted immigration bill, this despite tweeting three days earlier, in all caps, that “HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL.”

Soon after the second tweet was posted, Esquire’s Ryan Lizza wryly noted: “He didn’t even bother to delete the old one.”

1. I think this is one of the hardest parts

For those of us who oppose Trump to wrap our heads around and counteract. You can’t fight them with facts- their whole m.o. is to make objective facts irrelevant and dubious. The lying itself is the whole point. Lie so much about the little and unnecessary things people will just be overwhelmed. They won’t fight you nearly as much when you lie on the big stuff.

We’re at war with East Asia. We’ve always been at war with East Asia.
