      <div class="g-item g-text ">
    

      <p class="g-body">President Trump’s political rise was built on a lie (about Barack Obama's birthplace). His lack of truthfulness has also become central to the Russia investigation, with James Comey, the former director of the F.B.I., testifying under oath about Trump's “lies, plain and simple.”</p>


    </div>

    

    
      <div class="g-item g-text ">
    

      <p class="g-body">There is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/14/opinion/sunday/trump-lies-obama-who-is-worse.html">simply no precedent</a> for an American president to spend so much time telling untruths. Every president has shaded the truth or told occasional whoppers. No other president — of either party — has behaved as Trump is behaving. He is trying to create an atmosphere in which reality is irrelevant.</p>


    </div>

    

    
      <div class="g-item g-text ">
    

      <p class="g-body">We have set a conservative standard here, leaving out many dubious statements (like the claim that the tax bill his administration supports is “the biggest tax cut in U.S. history.”). Some people may still take issue with this standard, arguing that the president wasn't speaking literally. But we believe his long pattern of using untruths to serve his purposes, as a businessman and politician, means that his statements are not simply careless errors.</p>


    </div>

    

    
      <div class="g-item g-text ">
    

      <p class="g-body">We are using the word “lie” deliberately. Not every falsehood is deliberate on Trump's part. But it would be the height of naïveté to imagine he is merely making honest mistakes. He is lying.</p>


    </div>

    

    
      <div class="g-item g-subhed ">
    

      <h2>Trump Told Public Lies or Falsehoods Every Day for His First 40 Days</h2>


    </div>

    

    
      <div class="g-item g-text ">
    

      <p class="g-body">The list above uses the conservative standard of demonstrably false statements. By that standard, Trump told a public lie on at least 20 of his first 40 days as president. But based on a broader standard — one that includes his many misleading statements (like exaggerating military spending in the Middle East) — Trump achieved something remarkable: He said something untrue, in public, every day for the first 40 days of his presidency. The streak didn’t end until March 1.</p>
