Just recently, it was the lie about the helicopter ride with Willie Brown. Then the lie about inflation being the worst ever. Now Trump said people are leaving Minnesota and Minneapolis burned down and has not been built back. Both blatant lies. But his supporters will never, ever admit Trump is a liar.
