During his term as President of the United States, Donald Trump made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims; one report gave the number as 30,573. [1] [4] [5] [6] Commentators and fact-checkers have described this as "unprecedented" in American politics, [7] [8] [9] [10] and the consistency of these falsehoods became a distinctive part of both his business and political identity. [11] Trump is known to have made controversial statements and subsequently denied having done so, [12] [13] and by June 2019, many news organizations had started describing some of his falsehoods as lies, [14] which are false statements that the speaker knows are false. The Washington Post said his frequent repetition of false claims amounts to a campaign based on disinformation. [15] According to writer and journalist Nancy LeTourneau, the debasing of veracity is a tactic. [16] As part of attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, Trump and his allies repeatedly and falsely claimed there had been massive election fraud and that Trump had really won the election. [6] Their effort was characterized by some as an implementation of "the big lie." [17] On January 31, 2021, a detailed overview of the attempt to subvert the election of the President of the United States was published in The New York Times. [18] [19]
