The Truth About Donald Trump: A Pathological Liar in Politics

In recent years, the political landscape has been dominated by a figure who has redefined the concept of truth and honesty. Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, has been known for his prolific and shameless lying. From exaggerating his accomplishments to spreading conspiracy theories, Trump has shown a blatant disregard for the facts. Here are some of the most egregious lies that Trump has told:

– Trump claimed that President Obama founded ISIS, a terrorist organization. This statement is completely false and has been debunked by numerous fact-checking organizations. (Source: [New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/11/us/politics/trump-rally.html))

– Trump falsely stated that the Obama administration was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that later became the Islamic State. This claim is baseless and lacks any evidence to support it. (Source: [Politifact](http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jun/15/donald-trump/donald-trump-suggests-barack-obama-supported-isis-/))

– Trump inaccurately claimed that thousands of people in Jersey City, N.J., were cheering as the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11. There is no evidence to support this claim, and it has been widely debunked. (Source: [Politifact](http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/22/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-claim-thousands-new-jersey-ch/))

– Trump exaggerated the number of immigrants in the country illegally and falsely stated that inner-city crime rates were at record highs. These claims have been proven to be misleading and inaccurate. (Source: [Politifact](http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/jul/28/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-number-illegal-immigrants-30-mil/), [Politifact](http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/aug/30/donald-trump/donald-trump-wrong-inner-city-crime-reaching-recor/))

– Trump’s statements have been rated as mostly false, false, or “pants on fire” by fact-checking organizations, with only a small percentage being rated as true. This pattern of dishonesty is unprecedented in presidential politics. (Source: [Politifact](http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/))

Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy. By spreading misinformation and sowing doubt in the public’s mind, Trump undermines the foundations of a free and fair society. His disregard for the truth erodes trust in institutions and creates a climate of uncertainty and division. It is essential for the media and the public to hold him accountable for his lies and to demand transparency and honesty from our leaders.
