    I don't think Trump has been lying any more of late. Same rate of lying. But because family separation 1) had lots of visuals 2) is so emotional, the press is claiming he has started lying more.

        Agreed. I watched a lot of rallies in 2016. He lied all the time then too. My biggest shock/disappointment is now the official White House account lies. To me, that is unforgivable.

        I don’t think truth/lying is even relevant to him. He says whatever gains him leverage in the moment and then blusters thru if there’s blowback.

        There might be some variance of the context in which he lies - the frequency is pretty much with every breath. Some reporters give benefit of the doubt to obvious lies they haven't researched fully so they don't count them as lies, but family separation is unavoidable.

        They're doing it wrong. We already know Trump lies--continuously. The presumption should be that he's lying until he proves he's telling the truth. Reporters need to start calling him on anything that is the slightest bit suspect. Trump has earned our distrust.

        And the Times is predictably trotting out learned sociologists and management professors to say both sides are at fault for being uncivil, in its latest lunge at false equivalency.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/trump-language-immigration.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=a-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news …

        It took child internment camps for some of the MSM journos to even say Trump is lying; Trump lies multiple times a day every day. Think about that! And the larger context of Trump's purposefully cruel policies & lies is still largely absent from NYT, WaPo, etc.

        LOL @ddale8's chart of lies reveals a possible pattern to upticks. Indictment(s) within circle = more lies. Likely March uptick due to indictment last week of February, lies ran over into the next month.https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1009257794443403267 …

        They've gotten interested because of the emotion. Understanding of the legal situation has improved like 500% at places like NPR in the past week. It's really startling.

        The level of bad faith is the same but the specific awfulness of the subject gives press more permission to say what we all know out loud.

        He’s just recruited more ppl to lie for him so it feels that way.

        The family-separation scandal has resulted in two things, I think: 1) The media is more willing to bluntly accuse administration officials of lying. 2) The media is closer to acknowledging that the administration’s policies are racist.

        Some have said that his daily frequency of tweets has gone up, is that true? I block him so I miss out on that mostly.
