Trump vs. Biden: Who’s the bigger liar?

Do you need to ask? But CNN, in an attempt to reduce it to numbers, conducted a count. Of course, there’s some wiggle room for interpretation in this figures; nevertheless, they can serve as a rough guide. The verdict:

“By CNN’s rough count, Biden has made 29 total false claims in his first 100 days, about one every three-and-a-half days on average. That’s not cause for celebration. But I counted 214 false claims from Trump over his own first 100 days in office, more than two per day on average — and that was a very slow Trump period compared to what came later. Trump averaged about eight false claims per day in the full year I tracked as a CNN reporter, from August 2019 through July 2020. Trump was a distinctively prolific liar, so it’s neither a surprise nor a compliment to note that his successor has been far more accurate than he was. And Biden also just talks much less in public than Trump did.”
