"Bottomless Pinocchios" - The Lies Trump Tells Over & Over


This chart is from the recent Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between December 2nd and 4th of a national sample of 1,500 adults (including 1,286 registered voters). The margin of error for adults is 3.1 points, and for registered voters is 2.9 points.

It shows that the American public, by a 22 point margin, does not believe Donald Trump is an honest person. That's not surprising, since he has told thousands of lies (most of them easily disproven) since taking office. Currently, he is averaging over 9 lies for each day he has been in office.

But while Trump lies about nearly everything, there are some lies that he repeats over and over again -- evidently thinking if he repeats them often enough, then people will believe them. The Washington Post has been tracking all of the lies that Trump has told since becoming president. They now call the lies told over and over again as "Bottomless Pinocchios". Here are the 14 lies they now rate as Bottomless Pinocchios:
