Can you document there isn't any?
"Trump often doesn’t even try to make sense when explaining away a lie. In 2011, he was deposed about a failed Florida condo project. The building’s developer had paid a licensing fee to slap the Trump name on it, but—other than allowing his name to be used in marketing to deceive potential buyers—Trump had nothing to do with the project, which closed after taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in nonrefundable deposits.
During Trump’s testimony under oath, the plaintiff’s lawyer confronted him with marketing material in which he had boasted that the building would be a “signature development by Donald J. Trump.” Despite the indisputable meaning of those words, Trump disputed them: When the advertising says the building is a development by Donald Trump, “in some cases they’re developed by me and in some cases they’re not.” He never explained how “developed by Trump” can mean “not developed by Trump” but pointed out that the lengthy legal documents signed by those unfortunate buyers disclosed in the fine print that he was not the builder."
Now, of course, Donald Trump isn’t the first occupant of the Oval Office to tell lies. But it can be said with little fear of contradiction that he is the most prolific liar of the 44 men who have been elected to serve as president of the United States. Indeed, he has probably in the first five months of the Trump Era told more lies than all the other 43 combined. His lying is not a rare last resort, or like, say, Dwight Eisenhower’s 1960 claim the U.S. wasn’t flying spy planes over the Soviet Union, done (however foolishly) to protect our national security.
For The Donald, lying is nearly as frequent as exhaling. Lies of braggadocio and self-promotion make up the bulk of them, the kind of fabrications my colleagues and I at the Los Angeles Times used to label “salesman lies.” But now that he is supposedly the nation’s top public servant, Trump’s concoctions have taken on an importance far beyond little-boy exaggerations of net worth. Dumb lies, gratuitous lies, delusional lies, petty lies, nonsensical lies, easily debunked lies. A surreal, never-ending flow to compete with Niagara Falls. However, now these are no longer inconsequential but rather a direct threat to our democracy and security.
