There's no doubt he bs's like a salesman, the best this, the best that but I haven't seen much evidence of lies of any magnitude.

do you ever google things like 'trump biggest lies', just to see? and even if his brand of lying is mainly of the unethical salesman variety, he's wielded it with powerful results in terms of public opinion. couple that with most people's unwillingness to think about long-term impacts or complex scenarios and it's a great formula for political control.
Hmmm, after 3 years much of the hysteria has been proven to be overblown. Dubya was a worse president by far.

well he was bad and we (mainly non-Republicans) were all concerned at the time, as in the current situation, but one of Bush's saving graces was that his ego was not as huge as Trump's. so he took smaller risks in general, leading to somewhat smaller damages.
I didn't mean to say his damages were small, just smaller in general. I'm projecting forward from Trump's current curve to make my comparison, but am referring to current and anticipated damage from only what he's done so far. Things may get much worse.
Everyone else disagrees, them's the facts, snowflake.
