I support The Intercept and donate to them regularly. However, the article by Jon Schwarz is complete nonsense. (I started to write a stronger word than “nonsense,” but let’s be nice.) Trump has told in excess of 5,000 documented, fact-checked lies since taking office. Schwarz cited less than a dozen truths. Sure, these were big truths, but how exactly does that in any way counteract the thousands of large and small lies between which the truths were interspersed? This piece doesn’t even work as hyperbole or sarcasm – it’s just too misleading.
