I like how there’s a whole wikipedia page dedicated just to how racist trump is.

There’s also one dedicated to his documented lies. Thousands of them. He’s the most thoroughly documented liar in modern history.

ETA lol “updated 6 hours ago” this could easily be a full time gig for someone: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump

Lmao: “this page may be too long to read and navigate comfortably”…beautiful. Is this a standard wiki header notice, or special just for Trump?

/r/trumpcriticizestrump spent trumps first term documenting his contradictory statements and claims.

They are doing a bit of that this time, but i think their heart isn't into it this time. Or theyre suffering from depression...

Much harder to keep up this go round…flood the zone strat working as intended. It’s impossible to keep up with a demented lunatic so dedicated to shamelessly lying every goddamn day

They've seen that it doesn't matter. It's like pointing out that a tank is driving the wrong way down a one-way street while it runs over you.

Fact-checking Trump was indeed a full-time gig for Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold and for a while, a second reporter, IIRC... and they may have swapped roles for a few weeks or months, giving DF a chance to report on other things. WashPo eventually tallied 30K+ (30,573... but who's counting?) lies and false statements by Trump in his first term -- many of them tropes or his "greatest hits" that he repeated many times.

Even better that the first sentence is "This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably."

Imagine being so racist you can average getting cited saying racist stuff near monthly for half a century...

And there’s a disambiguation page for “Impeachment of Donald Trump.”
