File it under LIES: Why Does Trump Lie? He has nothing but contempt for the institutions that exist to keep presidents in check.

On the morning of June 4, he tweeted: “[Robert] Mueller should have never been appointed, although he did prove that I must be the most honest man in America!”
As of May 29, the most honest man in America had uttered 19,127 false or misleading claims in his 1,226 days in office, according to Glenn Kessler of The Post, who has been tracking them since Day 1. That’s 15.6 falsehoods a day, or roughly one per waking hour, every hour, every day. That puts him on track to hit 20,000 lies by Wednesday, July 29; by Nov. 3, at this pace, he’ll be north of 22,000 — but of course that period will constitute the heat of the campaign, when the frequency seems likely to increase.

The Bush team on Iraq, Lyndon Johnson on the Gulf of Tonkin incident, Mr. Nixon on Watergate — in all those cases, lies were told. But Presidents Bush, Johnson and Nixon also knew and implicitly accepted that lying to the American people had limits.
Trump knows no limits when it comes to lying.
He lies because he knows his base doesn’t give a shit and it allows him to ignore reality and FACTS, which he has such a problem with.
IMHO there ought to be a large ceremony when he hits lie number 20,000. That’s a LOT of LIES!
He always claims to be the best and the biggest, SO, let’s give him his due and celebrate the biggest LIAR in the history of the US and maybe the world!
