So what are some neat and obviously dumb lies someone in our government has told us? Hell, even George Washington probably lied way back when.
Trump is a narcissist, and those kind of people naturally lie, even to themselves. So there's one example.
Not a politician but H G Wells in 1914 described WW1 as being " the war that will end wars ".
TRUMP!!!

Politicians break campaign promises all the time. Some are big promises; some are small. But few have been broken as completely, as brazenly, and as casually as Donald Trump’s promise not to play golf, or at least not to play a lot of golf, as president.

yeah there was that , and then there was pretty much everything else that he said during his term , totaling 30,000 lies by some estimates .
I would bet my house that when counted up , Trump wins the "politician lying" stakes by a country mile.
He'd probably be 100x more than the next runner up.
