Since Donald Trump began his political career in 2015, he has become the single greatest spreader of misinformation, lies, and exaggerations to ever run for president. But you knew that. Washington Post has been tracking the amount of disinformation the so-called president spreads, and it's alarming. He passed the 20,000 lie mark in July 2020 and he never stopped. It's gotten so bad that The Fact Checker team at the Post can't even keep up with the number of lies he spews.

    Despite warnings from Judge Juan Merchan that the media should not be revealing too many details which could identify the jurors in the Trump trial in Manhattan, Fox's Jesse Watters spent another evening railing about them in the obvious hope that they'll either be identified or intimidated.
