New York Times (January 21)
The Government shutdown spotlights Donald Trump’s major shortcoming. The current President proved “woefully inept at making tough deals…. Trump is an unrepentant, unremitting liar. That makes deal-making impossible. His word is meaningless and his policy principles are murky. He is mercurial and inconsistent. This may well have worked in business, to keep people off kilter, but it won’t work in politics.”

Bloomberg (January 22)
There is “a growing rift between Trump’s White House and the news organizations that cover it, less than two days into his administration.” On his first full day in office, both Trump and his press secretary “made easily disproved claims, adding fuel to his opponents’ charges that the president is a habitual liar.”

Politico (September 25)
“Donald Trump is the biggest liar ever to be a party’s nominee for president. Trump can’t go 5 minutes without lying. At his current pace, he can be expected to tell 25-30 lies at the first presidential debate.”

Washington Post (June 17)
“Donald Trump must be the biggest liar in the history of American politics, and that’s saying something.” He “lies the way other people breathe.” There’s no “other political figure who so brazenly tells lie after lie, spraying audiences with such a fusillade of untruths that it is almost impossible to keep track.”
