Donald Trump gave one of the longest presidential nomination acceptance speeches in history at the Republican National Convention last week.
The New York Times analyzed the reaction of undecided voters to the speech, many of whom found it bizarre and unsettling.
It was also loaded with lies, wrote Steven Rattner, a former adviser to the Treasury secretary in the Obama administration.
Trump, wrote Rattner, "used the opportunity, as well as his June debate with President Biden, to repeat favorite #false #claims and #exaggerations.
That Mr. Trump has a proclivity for saying untrue things is well known.
But in his latest campaign for the White House, I’ve been struck by what appears to be an escalation in both the frequency of Mr. Trump’s lies and the outrageousness of his distortions."
