DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ASSAULT ON TRUTH

The first, best, and only comprehensive compendium of President Trump's most outrageous lies and mistruths from the day he was sworn in through the first three years of his presidency. From the popular and authoritative Washington Post Fact Checker.

13'500 lies and counting...

Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post's Fact Checker columnist, is a pioneer of the journalism trend of checking the facts behind the words of prominent people. The Washington Post has built an unparalleled reputation in its coverage of Trump's presidency and related topics. The paper's circulation, prominence, and influence continue to grow.

Starting with Trump's biggest falsehoods, the Post explains the frequency, context, variation, and factual response to these claims. The rest of the book breaks the lies down by category: Trump on Immigration, the Economy, the Ukraine probe, Obama; Trump on the Mueller Investigation, etc. Many of his most outrageous statements have been uttered dozens or even hundreds of times, and each lie comes with an annotation by the Post.

Factual, smart, brightly written, the book contains occasional notes of whimsy: not only Trump's greatest misstatements but also some of his more obscure, bizarre, and entertaining ones.
