Trump's assault on the truth

Washington Post Fact Checker & Author Glenn Kessler joins Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." All Presidents lie. This is something we are all aware of. However, President Trump takes it to another level. He is just under twenty thousand false statements so far as President of the United States. From 5 or 6 a day in his first year to as many as 22 a day currently. What will the lasting effects of this behavior be? How much damage to the institution has been done? And does Joe Biden, the person in the best position to defeat Trump, also make false statements? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
