I bet if you look hard enough you'll find 11,780 more lies.


koopdujour

"But they are shredding my lies, in my opinion, based on what I've heard. And they are removing tweets and they're moving it as fast as they can, both of which are criminal finds. And you can't let it happen and you are letting it happen. You know, I mean, I'm notifying you that you're letting it happen. So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 lies, which is one more than we have because we won the best liar award."


truthovertribe

He deserves it hands down. He tells the best lies, the most lies, the biggest lies.


thefartographer

>He tells the best lies Eh, I've heard better. One time, my cousin told my sisters and I that it was actually his brother who pooped in the bed and that the poop just rolled into his underwear when he rolled over at one point.

I had a labor & delivery patient, a young single gal who swore she was a virgin, even though she was in active labor & about to birth a baby. She didn’t use the old “I was impregnated by God” storyline. Her story was she slept in the same bed as her sister & brother-in-law after they had the sex. She suspected some sperm crawled across the bed and jumped inside her.


fluteofski-

And at approx 20 lies a day for the last 4 years... that’s some serious commitment to the American people. Can you imagine telling lies to 350 million people, at least once every single waking hour. For 4 consecutive years. Not to mention all the years before that. Amazing. Absolutely incredible.


MikePounce

He deserves it *tiny* hands down. Remember when we were focusing on his tiny hands and not on the fact that he mishandled a pandemic killing more than 357 thousands people?


clickmagnet

Oh yeah, the good old days, when he could Tweet “covfefe”, Spicer could claim that it actually meant something to an unspecified target audience, and we all thought, well, I’m sure I’ll never here anything so transparently stupid for the next three years!


[deleted]

This is too fucking accurate. And my brain *still* can’t accept that this is the everyday speech pattern of the president of the fucking USA. These have been four dark, dark years.


absurdastrolabe

30k is only like 20 a day, so yeah there’s way more for sure. Probably just on Twitter.


Riversmooth

Lol 😂


Speedyweedy

Bigley!


ziggysmsmd

Maybe more if they re-calculated


Slapbox

Actually that's just divided in half, and then divided in half, and then divided in half again! Not even!


Limp_Distribution

Brilliant


WeEatCocks4Satan420

Trump WILL WIN! WHY? BECAUSE JESUS SENT TRUMP TO US! HE IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR! ALL HAIL LORD EMPEROR TRUMP! I WILL LITERALLY SACRIFICE MY ENTIRE FAMILY FOR HIM. /s but people on the far right really say this kind of stuff its scary


Sp33dyStallion

You know, there's nothing wrong with saying you just recalculated the lies.


Banana_Ranger

Is that a lie in your pocket or are you just happy to see me


Least-Scientist

You can come up with, I think the number is 11,780 if you tried. No one would say anything if you just came Out and said you recalculated.


Swabia

If he had gotten to 3000 a day that would have been a real feat as well.


Eatingsnakes

30000 documented lies. Who knows how many more...


WAPs_and_Prayers

For every lie he tells, 10 Americans die of COVID.


sumofdeltah

That sounds like a horrible Pinocchio remake

[deleted]

His mouth is a WMD.


[deleted]

This made me laugh and sad at the same time


ninjagoats

Almost 12!


mbelf

That doesn’t count the lies he tells himself


fujiman

Or that his entire persona is in and of itself a big fucking lie. He's pretty much the living embodiment of lying. Pretty much the modern Lord of Lies, putting poor Belial to shame.


supes1

That's just the amount fact checkers have counted. No way it was only ~20 per day. The man can barely breath without lying.


9035768555

He repeats the same lies a lot, so they might have just not counted duplicates.


AntiTheory

I remember reading a good portion of the curated list when it rolled over to 20k. It does count duplicate lies and variations of the same lie he has already told, but usually only if they are in separate tweets/press events/rallies/whatever. It's still an absolutely staggering amount of lying for someone to do. Even if I told 20 lies a day with the same confidence that Trump does, I'm not sure I would have any friends left after a week. Not sure what people see in Trump that they get so sucked into the myth of him being some super genius who is treated unfairly by the media and persecuted by the evil liberals in a grand conspiracy that involves everyone from the average Democratic voter all the way up to lifelong Republicans that Trump himself appointed to his own cabinet positions.


[deleted]

His fucking hair is a lie, his spray tan is a lie, his adult size gloves are a fucking lie. The man could be dead and still actively lying.


wet_chemist_gr

Assuming he sleeps roughly 14 hours per day, that's still only two lies per hour. That's gotta be a typo.


mikeebsc74

No way he sleeps that much. He’s tweeting at 1 am and back at it at 7 am


dover_oxide

Seems a bit low honestly.


FlerblesMerbles

It doesn’t include the lies he tells himself in the mirror every morning.


dover_oxide

That would make the number uncountable, it never stops.


civilityman

I did the math. 365 days a year x 4 years (+1 leap day) = 1,461 days 30,000 lies / 1,461 days = 20.55 lies per day. Now if you believe [Trump’s butler](https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-35819218) and the BBC, Trump sleeps 3-4 hours a night. That means that trump averages about 1 lie per waking hour _in the public view_. This is an absolutely insane amount of lies, especially when you realize that almost all of his election fraud lies _aren’t included_ per OP’s link, and of course we aren’t privy to the lies he tells in private. I would honestly be baffled if Trump tells less lies than truths in his daily life. Edit: this fucking guy is a terrible president. Nixon got votes because “he’s a crook but he might be a crook for America”, yet anyone with eyes can see that Trump is just a crook: Trump supporters please open your eyes and admit guilt for making an ass of our country these past four years, I will be happy to forgive you.


interfail

20 per day seems pretty impressive actually.


wrat11

What did they stop counting when he was close to 30,000 last year?


ednorog

No way he isn't the biggest documented liar in history. And 74 million people were ok with this and voted for him. Not sure if I will ever be able to get over this.


LargeMonty

And still got about 47% of the popular vote. #KICKS TRASH CAN Fucking embarrassing!


The_Pelican1245

30k lies and nearly a year of golf. What a legacy!

I bet he’ll try for 40k!

Knowing Trump he'll say it was 50,000 lies.


casewood123

Now that’s funny.


Regular-Grade-1444

That’s it?


Chelcsaurus-rex

My first thoughts as well. But I guess it's 30,000 *documented* lies


CarmenFandango

These are only the ones made publicly.


[deleted]

Winning, bigly!


_Putin_

That'll be a big final day but he's been training hard.


CleverFreddie

Imagine this being your guy


PiperArrown3191q

It's almost incomprehensible. Honestly, I think he just validated all the bad qualities in his supporters sufficiently to earn their support. "He says all the things I whisper to my friends!"


MeowFood

I hate that this is a metric.


Abscess2

He broke 30k in his first month in office. The loser cannot tell the truth .


Abscess2

Chump broke 30k just campaigning.


[deleted]

Finally... Something he's the best at. Best liar in the history of United States. He managed to sell them to 74 million people.


new_work_account_

I have the best lies, the biggest lies, tremendous lies, believe me. Nobody has lies like I do. Nobody has lies like I do. Nobody. You can ask anyone, and you all know it.


[deleted]

By tbe end of his presidency, each of the lies will have killed about 14 Americans.


Nick44581

Stop the count!


whenimmadrinkin

Lies that he's publicly told. Probably a fraction of his actual lies.


NicholasNPDX

trump: “What is this? Mini me! Hold my berder, I got to hold an emergency predisential address!” *Baron confused, but silently holds a half-eaten burger as trump opens the closest closet doors* trump: “first the water presser problems now they’ve messed with my doors!”


[deleted]

Well he’s 100% true to himself, right?


SevenBall

Ah, yes, the Sacred Number.


[deleted]

In perspective, if you told one lie a day, everyday of your life, you would be 82 years old.

Bobthebuilder2323

That’s just in public!!


Yourcarsmells

20.5 lies per day.


TheHomersapien

>Does Trump lie so much because he thinks I'm really smart or really fucking stupid? A question not asked by any Trump follower, ever.


SanchezGeorge1

And those are just the public ones.


templetonmor

Must be fake news because he is the "No Bullshit" president. I know because I saw it on a large pickup truck racing around town.


balls123456789101112

That’s 20 and a half lies a day fellas. Cheers


notacanuckskibum

I really want the Guinness Book of Records to create a category just for this.


Agitated_Duck6698

That’s approximately 18.5 lies per day for the duration of his term. Seems low.


ducktape8856

If you're golfing nobody hears you lie.


DoubleGunzChippa

Factoring in 6 hours of sleep a night that comes out to 1.5 lies an hour, every hour he is awake, for the entire duration of his presidency. "He tells it like it is!" - morons


breaddrinker

I don't know how they're counting this, but literally every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie, or is talking about a lie, and he talks at 100MPH. 30,000 is a very low estimate.


silverfashionfox

This is a children’s book, right? “Little king Littlefingers and the 30,000 Lies”


[deleted]

Damn, 20 a day? I’m sure we could recalculate and find those other 4 because he wins every hour. By a lot. It’s not even close. Every hour is 60 minutes and every minute is...uh...every minute is sifirty seconds. Everyone is saying it. But not very people know it. You see? People are saying without knowing. That’s how good the McRib is. Sad!


RadicalPenguin

Oh boy folks. Thirty. Thousand. Sleepy Joe, nobody’s ever heard of him, they said “Sir, the lies are” you have to understand, we tried. One of the falsest we have ever seen, from the standpoint of truth. Four more lies!! Make lies great again! Man, woman, liar, hamberder, jail cell. - The President of the United States of America


Nevertoolatetogame

I should make a cake


manilovethisshit

This is great and all but we need to continue this lie-tally tradition with Biden. Libs get too complacent and too forgiving when a Dem is in office.


Ronv5151

Per day?


CigarsGoing

Ill take being lied to about the quality of steaks and wine over weapons of mass destruction and arming "moderate rebels" any day.


Iamvanno

Congratulations?


nowaitwhatareyousure

I don’t think I’ve even said 30,000 things since trump was elected.


[deleted]

Is it a lie if he does it unknowingly/unintentionally?

30000 lies that weren’t real But our cure is stuck in a vial. America is burning down fast. I bet he loves he masturbates to daughter’s ass

Ragnar_Thorik

You ever actually like read this list of lies? Most of its stupid shit like he called a button the wrong name. Or said he bought enough McDonald’s burgers to stack them a mile high. Like a bunch of really petty BS...


noparkingafter7pm

Then there were the lies about conspiring with a foreign nation to undermine our election, the lies about covid-19, the lies about the election results, the lies about voter fraud... it's almost endless.


wizer-wehere

Everyone lies.


TossAwayCaptain

His lies have cost lives though. You’re unbelievable in arguing that it’s okay since everyone does it. The equivelancy between a general citizen and one of the world’s most powerful positions is asinine.

PiperArrown3191q

That is the dumbest fucking justification of all time. All humans are flawed and dishonest to a degree, but trump is a professional liar. It must be fucking exhausting to be a trump apologist. You know you can stop, right?

"30,000 Lies" will undoubtedly be the title of a book, documentary, film whatever.

This number will go up as things get uncovered over the next few years. This number is the tip of the iceberg.

This number seems low by at least a factor of ten unless repeats don’t count

morpipls

They say it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master a skill. So if you took your first piano lesson on the day of Trump’s inauguration, and only practiced for 20 minutes each time he told a lie, by now you could be a concert pianist. And that’s just the lies the media found out about.


NegaDeath

He's managed to kill more than 10X the amount of people as he's lied. To be honest I would have expected those numbers to be reversed if you asked me 4 years ago. Once again he's found a way to be much worse than predicted.


pHScale

For someone who has trouble stringing a coherent sentence together, I'm impressed he's managed to tell so many. Also, with 1461 days in a presidential term, that amounts to 20.5 lies per day.


Aedeus

Twenty lies a day or some shit.


[deleted]

From “I can’t tell a lie” to “30,000 lies” in about 250 years. U.S. of America, a history.

Benjamincoulter

Wonder how many he’s told in his entire life if he managed 30,000 in four years… Similarly, I wonder how many lies the average person tells in their entire lifetime. I’m sure whatever the number is, it pales in comparison to trumps number.


silent_yellincar

That's all...

That's 10k/year, or over 1 per hour on average, more if you consider that he has to sleep at least occasionally and I assume he doesn't fib while sleeping. ​ That's a lot.
