Latest news: Donald Trump, the biggest liar in history

The news was published every Saturday, thanks to the historian Fabrice d’Almeida.

On November 5, there was the biggest liar in history re-election to the White House. And it’s true. Because, in history, no politician, lawyer or crook of any kind has committed so many lies. American leaders, for example, have lived up to the maxim that President Lincoln said in the 19th century: “You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”

Trump goes beyond this principle by perpetuating even his most blatant lies. And this has been the case since he was invested at the top of the state on January 20, 2017. Just one month later, he invented an attack in Sweden that never happened, just to suit the needs of his show , it was February. 20, 2017.

During his presidency, the Washington PostAmerican every day, counting the president’s lies and estimates in total: a total of 30,573 lies in 4 years of presidency, more than twenty lies a day. Record for fact checkers of the newspaper. Not even the liars or false prophets in American history did this.

This is not new to Donald Trump. Already, in the 1970s, he used lies and denial as a weapon in business and against the legal system. His lawyer at the time, Roy Cohn, worked with McCarthy in the anti-communist struggle. He had a complex personality: he criticized homosexuality even though he himself had relationships with men. In short, Cohn cultivated bad faith and encouraged Trump not to recognize his losses or his failures…

This is how the young businessman works. He was even one of those who created confidentiality agreements in sports in the USA with his American football team. He did not want us to know the amounts involved. His legal method comes to lie by omission.

Lying has become a reflex for him. In the debate against Kamala Harris in September 2024, he launched at least 33 false information. With a pearl, he accuses the immigrants of eating Springfield’s cats and dogs, which the local authorities immediately deny. And it continues in the country.

This method allows him to drown out his goals and hide his real targets. But above all, his goal is to destroy the truth so that there are no boundaries. “It lies endlessly“, wrote the New York TimesAmerican news magazine. It lies endlessly to act unhindered. He rejects the limitations of the truth: not those of journalists, or those of scientists, climatologists or doctors in the time of Covid. Americans cherish this freedom. And some of us too. But he is drawing the world to the truth that we are not in danger of losing our democracy.
