Dishonesty is the defining characteristics of Trump and his administration, and lies are a daily occurrence. While there are far too many lies to track, I thought a thread dedicated to the worst and most notable lies would be useful. There’s a lot of material to choose from.
(I could have tapped into a rich vein of lies simply by linking to Trump’s Truth Social account — hence the OP title.)
An example of a trivial lie, but a lie nonetheless, regards Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Trump claims his uncle, Dr John Trump, taught him at MIT. “I asked him about him. What kind of student was he Uncle John, Dr John Trump?” (that last is typically Trumpian. No-one would call their uncle ‘Dr John Trump’, and I’m sure he doesn’t expect anyone to think that’s verbatim. But he clearly wants his audience to be impressed). “Seriously good” was Trump senior’s reported response. “He went around correcting everybody”.
There is no record of Kaczynski at MIT.
Dr Trump died 11 years before the Unabomber was uncovered. He may have misremembered, mistook him for another, or gaslit himself, of course. Only someone with TDS would fail to cut Trump several generous yards of slack on that one…
