To say that President Donald Trump has a casual relationship with the truth would be a gross understatement. He has repeatedly cited debunked conspiracy theories, pushed voter fraud myths, and embellished his record and accomplishments. The barrage of falsehoods has been so furious that journalists have taken to issuing instant fact-checks during press conferences and calling out false statements during cable news broadcasts.
All presidents lie, but lying so brazenly and so frequently about even silly factoids like his golf game has put Trump in his own category. His disregard for the truth is reflected in his top aides, who have inflated easily disproved figures like the attendance at his inauguration and even cited terror attacks that never happened.
The Huffington Post tracked the public remarks of Trump and his aides to compile a list of 100 incidents of egregious falsehoods. Still, it is likely the administration has made dozens of other misleading and exaggerated claims....
1.White House press secretary Sean Spicer falsely claimed the crowd on the National Mall was largest audience to ever witness an inauguration. (Jan. 21)
2.Trump falsely claimed that the crowd for his swearing-in stretched down the National Mall to the Washington Monument and totaled more than 1 million people. (Jan. 21)
3.As Trump fondly recalled his Inauguration Day, he said it stopped raining immediately when he began his speech. A light rain continued to fall throughout the address. (Jan. 21)
4.During his speech at CIA headquarters, Trump claimed the media made up his feud with the agency. In fact, he started it by comparing the intelligence community to Nazi Germany. (Jan. 21)
5.During his speech at CIA headquarters, Trump repeated the claim that he didnt want to go into Iraq. He told Howard Stern in 2002 that he supported the Iraq War. (Jan. 21)

Bewildering and disgusting. But it could help make a point to some who are in the process of changing their minds on Trump. Perhaps some thought he could make changes and voted for him. Now, they are seeing who he really is...Why is this change in attitude important?
When impeachment comes, and I believe it will, his consistent lying will be one of the reasons. The more people who see him as a total liar, the more people will believe he needs to be impeached. Or perhaps the lies will get so numerous and detrimental to the country, that he will be forced to resign . And as remote as that may seem now, that also might happen.
