Everyday Trump made 21 statements of Falsehood and 'misleading' remarks as President in the four years of 2016 and 2020

What happens when you get a 'wrong' President ?


It is argued that in the four years of his first term between 2016 and 2020; Donald Trump spoke lies -- more than 21 a day. 


The joke may go -- he can easily get into a good competition with typical 'delhi-wallahs' - the Jugadus or the members of mutual admiration club(s) in the national capita; "Ho jaega jee' !!  


"Trump lies the way other people breathe," Jonathan Freedland in a piece for 'The Guardian' (London).

He says: "The Washington Post calculated that he made 30,573 false and misleading statements in the four years of his first term: that’s more than 21 a day. 


The habit has never left him. Witness, to pick one example almost at random, his claims that a war that has strengthened the hand of Iran’s most implacable hardliners has, contrary to all evidence, achieved his goal of regime change.

The writer also cited "Trump’s cruelty" --- 


It takes its most serious form in bloodlust, threatening via social media that “a civilisation will die tonight” or using Easter Sunday as the moment to tell Tehran: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” 


But the cruelty is also personal and direct. When the actor and director Rob Reiner was killed in horrific circumstances with his wife late last year, Trump posted a string of insults to the dead man. 


Freedland also says: "Name the deadliest of sins – cruelty, deceit, avarice – and Trump will both exhibit them and celebrate them".  The article also talks about in details on the Pope-Trump tussle and that comes at the much embarrassment of the Christian world. 


"It’s no accident that the figure emerging as the global challenger to the might of Donald Trump is a priest in white, known as Pope Leo XIV," the article runs.


"In recent weeks, the pope has issued a string of barely coded denunciations of the US president, unfazed by the insults that have come his way in return. It’s no longer fanciful to imagine that what an eastern European pontiff, John Paul II, did by confronting the Soviet empire in the 1980s, an American-born pope may do in the 2020s by daring to speak truth to the would-be emperor in the White House."
