Sure, but Trump is a totally different tier of liar.
Most politicians “lie” through omission. They’ll tell the truth, just not the parts that make them or their friends look bad. That and overly ambitious campaign promises…but I generally look past that because they should really be called “campaign goals”, and the “stretch goals” should be easily identified by anyone with two braincells to rub together.
Trump just puts out straight up objective falsehoods and rattles them off with a straight face.
Yeah no shit, but are we gonna pretend that other politicians don’t lie?

What is this 2016? Are we still defending Trump with whataboutisms?
No but you’ll pretend they are comparable to Trump
