“In his 1987 classic The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump revealed that he’s a big proponent of “truthful hyperbole,” or what a layman would refer to as “lies.” “People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular,” he wrote. “It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion.” This, in other words, was clearly a man who had made a cottage industry out of lying through his caps. So in March 2018, it should surprise not a single person that when Trump opens his mouth, lies come flying out like the winged monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. Still, one might think that even he would know better than to publicly brag about lying to world leaders and U.S. allies. But, apparently, one would think wrong!
The Washington Post reports that during a Wednesday night fund-raiser in Missouri, ostensibly to raise money for Senate candidate Josh Hawley,the president of the United States regaled the crowd with a story about making up information during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, insisting that the U.S. has a trade deficit with its northern neighbors.”*
