    About this audiobook

    Includes audio excerpts from Trump’s press conferences, remarks, rallies, and speeches.

    A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

    In perilous times, facts, expertise, and truth are indispensable. President Trump’s flagrant disregard for the truth and his self-aggrandizing exaggerations, specious misstatements, and bald-faced lies have been rigorously documented and debunked since the first day of his presidency by The Washington Post’s Fact Checker staff.

    Donald Trump and His Assault on Truth is based on the only comprehensive compilation and analysis of the more than 16,000 fallacious statements that Trump has uttered since the day of his inauguration. He has repeated many of his most outrageous claims dozens or even hundreds of times as he has sought to bend reality to his political fantasy and personal whim.

    Drawing on Trump’s tweets, press conferences, political rallies, and TV appearances, The Washington Post identifies his most frequently used misstatements, biggest whoppers, and most dangerous deceptions. This book unpacks his errant statements about the economy, immigration, the impeachment hearings, foreign policy, and, of critical concern now, the coronavirus crisis as it unfolded.

    Fascinating, startling, and even grimly funny, Donald Trump and His Assault on Truth by The Washington Post is the essential, authoritative record of Trump’s shocking disregard for facts.

      How do you deal with some one that doesn't live in reality? how do you make sense of some one that has no sense? not even common sense? Someone that lies and lies and lies and lies, and when facing his lies, chooses to lie about it some more? Do you ignore them? And when they don’t allow that? How to deal with a pathological liar? I mean forget everything, forget political events, political colors, don’t even bother with the topic. It doesn’t matter! This guy lies about everything! From his father birthplace to his own nationality, anything, and everything! You don’t need to check anything this guy says. Sure, some will be truth, but that like saying that a coin has two faces, that’s irrelevant! This guy attitude through truth is inexistent! He is moved by in personal interest, and he doesn’t give a dam about anyone and anything. Forget about it!
