    About this ebook

    For as long as our country has been in existence the tale has been told to children that our first president, George Washington, could not tell a lie. Now it appears that our 45th president, Donald J. Trump, cannot tell the truth. Many of his public statements he makes merely to glorify himself, others merely to promote an agenda. Several theories have been put forth to explain this strange behavior; one is that he actually believes these false statements: in other words, that he is delusional. Since the date of publication he has been sticking more closely to the facts, and more and more of his brash statements have turned out to be accurate. Recently the news anchors as MSNBC were mocking him for saying that since he took office illegal immigration had declined by 60%, but guess what? It turned out to be true!

      Donald Trump's Book of Lies - Samuel Allen

      Most of us know the story of George Washington and his hatchet, first told by biographer Mason Locke Weems, sometimes doubted but never disproven, in which the young Washington claims I cannot tell a lie, and is richly rewarded for it. Since that time truthfulness has been touted to young children as a trait of character needed to rise to a station of high esteem. How things have changed! Today we have a president who has risen to that office largely on a bed of lies. Exposing these lies is so widely done that today's children cannot be unaware of them. How can we expect them to tell the truth with an example such as this? Rather than tell the truth, say whatever puts you in the best light! Such an example cannot but create problems for both parents and teachers and could shake the foundation of our society.

      Very few of Donald Trump’s misstatements are controversial. The great majority is easily disproven and fall into one of four categories:

      Self-aggrandizing statements, such as overstating his Electoral College win and the size of the crowds at his inauguration and at his rallies.

      Claiming credit for things he had nothing or very little to do with.

      Denying that he said or did things that are on the record or which he previously had admitted to.

      Misstatements made to push an agenda, such as saying that U. S. unemployment is at a historic high when in fact there is a labor shortage; or implying that there is no wall along the U. S. – Mexico border and illegal immigrants are pouring in. During the campaign the Republican Party even screened a video of such an occurrence, made in Morocco.

      Here is a selective collection of Donald Trump's misstatements from the time of his election in November of 2016 to the time of publication. The first of these are from Politico Magazine and the later ones are from such sources as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Politifact, whom Donald Trump characterizes as purveyors of fake news because they print the truth about him.

      The Times reports that between Election Day and Trump’s tweet, the paper added four times the average number of net new digital and print subscriptions.
