Trump has repeatedly and blatantly lied to the American people over and over again, tonight, his State of the Union address is no different.
While Trump has failed to deliver on his promises or meaningfully improve the well-being of middle-class families, Trump has attempted to mislead Americans about basic facts and has tried to invent false statistics to push his unpopular policies.
-
Trump’s record of blatant dishonesty is unprecedented: He has lied to the American people more than 8,000 times in his first two years, an average of more than 15 times per day last year.
-
The majority of Americans say they trust Trump less than previous presidents, and fewer than 3 in 10 Americans believe the president’s most common lies.
Trump’s lies aren’t innocent exaggerations. Trump has used misleading statistics to stoke fear about a manufactured crisis at the border, and has even lied directly to our active-duty service members and our nation’s veterans.
