You don’t need a fact-checker to know when Donald Trump is lying. All you have to do is listen to the cabinet secretaries and Republicans in Congress who condemn his lies after they leave office.
All you need to do is look at the Donald Trump’s tweets, interviews and speeches. He indicts himself.
He invented a boogeyman he named “Fake News” to give himself permission to lie. He uses it to confuse his supporters and to scare off a free press exercising the First-Amendment mission to inform the public.
It’s hard to imagine which is more frightening: a Donald Trump who knows he’s lying but does it anyway; or a Donald Trump so morally addled he convinces himself his lies are true.
When you see his lips or his thumbs moving, you have every right to suspect that Donald Trump is lying to you.
