Deep dives
The Consistency of Trump's Deceitfulness
Trump's consistent pattern of deceit is highlighted through specific instances during the 2020 election and its aftermath. The example from Arizona illustrates how Trump knowingly repeated falsehoods about non-citizens voting, despite being informed otherwise by his campaign manager. Similarly, he falsely accused election workers in Georgia of hiding evidence of voter fraud after being told they were conducting themselves appropriately. Such behavior demonstrates Trump's unwavering commitment to deceit, as he repeatedly spread lies even after being corrected by those within his own circle.
