Come on, name one time he's ever lied before. You can't even name two. There's not even a dozen times. Certainly it's less than a hundred? A thousand?
ETA: Wikipedia says it's nearly 31000 just while he was president, if you count false or misleading, still more than 5000/2.5 yr if you only count outright falsehoods.
You can't name just one time he lied because if you refer to any specific statement he's made, it contains at least two lies.
I refuse to do the math to be sure, but if we extrapolate how many times per day he's publicly lied in recent years with the number of days he's been alive, we're probably talking millions of lies overall lol
Don't worry, the wiki nerds have been keeping a list.

It is hilarious to me that there's an encyclopedia entry for this. MAGA probably already thinks Wikipedia is woke trash or whatever.
Oh, they've thought Wikipedia was what they now call "woke trash" for decades. That's why Conservapedia was a thing.
The fact that you need to make an encyclopedia to present a conservative point of view is just so, so telling. Just presenting facts should be sufficient, but facts are notoriously liberal, so...
Yeah, conservatives have always needed their safe spaces where can be free from independent thinking and rigorously checked facts.
People just didn't notice before because their safe spaces included every place where the rich and powerful resided, including the totality of government.
And because of them formerly being the unchallenged default, they still consider their bad ideas the only right ones, so it must be the majority of the politically civilized world that's wrong 😄
