So why does he lie? I don\u2019t know. We can only speculate. We have gone from George Washington saying, \u201cI cannot tell a lie\u201d (which is probably a lie because there is no proof he ever said it) to \u201cI cannot tell the truth because I don\u2019t know what is the truth.\u201d Lying is so pervasive now that has been renamed \u201cgaslighting.\u201d In this podcast the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, tries to understand why Donald Trump (as well as most other politicians) tell so many lies.
