Trump Lies 9 Times a Day on Average Lately

The numbers keep going up.

As of 3am Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Donald Trump has told 1,628 lies since taking office. We know this because the Washington Post has been diligently*watching the numbers, keeping tabs on Trump’s huge fibs and falsehoods. Over the 298 days since his inauguration, Trump has told an average of 5.5 lies every single day of the week, Monday to Sunday. While he barely works weekdays and golfs every weekend, he apparently never takes a vacation from lying.

Over the last 35 days, Trump has been even more dishonest than usual, upping his daily average to 9 lies every 24 hours. Thanks to the extra effort he’s put into misleading the country on a diversity of topics in recent weeks, he’s likely to reach “peak liar” status by January 20. “That puts the president on track to reach 1,999 claims by the end of his first year in office, though he obviously would easily exceed 2,000 if he maintained the pace of the past month,” the Post notes.

NIne lies a day? Seems pretty low to me. Like Chris Rock said men lie the most women tell the biggest lies.

Nine lies a day seems like a lot to me, man!

The article implies they aren't keeping track of minor fibs, or little white lies, since they explicitly put it in the context of "huge" lies. I mean, like real whoppers!

“You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appalls me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies - which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world - what I want to forget.” -- Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

It's all relative to the kind of lies being told of course. I say this partially tounge in cheek because I'm a huge chris rock fan and you reminded me of his riff which I linked
 
The impression I get is that is his thing. That's how he does business, change, lie when needed, play crazy & go for the deal, whatever that is for him. That may very well work in the big business real estate world but it doesn't work well when dealing with the institutions of the United States government. That's where he's running into serous problems.
