It's no secret that Donald Trump lies. A lot. It's easy to lose track of just how many mistruths he has spun over the years, even from.wrrk to week and day to day.
Yes, Joe Biden is not above the odd fib from time to time, and even the much more careful Kamala Harris is not entirely squeaky clean (as even CNN admits). But no politician EVER has lied as much as Donald Trump. Neither he nor his people bother to refute allegations of lying - they just don't really care, and it's just seen as part of Trump's campaign style and indeed his whole persona.
So, thanks to a recent CNN article that neatly summaries Trump's main recent lying campaigns, without literally listing them all which would be tedious (and depressing). It makes sobering reading, not least because half of Americans either believe them or just don't care.
As I have argued elsewhere, though, the sheer amount of lying that happens in politics these days - not just by Trump, but mainly as a result of Trump's campaigning "style" - is ushering in a period of political cynicism and nihilism that makes a complete mockery of our democratic systems.
