He certainly lied at a much higher level than other presidents, let alone any president. His volume of lies is massive. I think it’s less his delivery style and more that he also lies about so many insignificant details.
His "lying" was no different than any other corporate CEO that needs to talk like that to push people forward to a specific direction.
We can argue all day about the ethics of lying, but at the end of the day, you cant always be 100% honest about your intent to push people in a certain direction, even if it means "for the greater good."
I don’t agree with this take because it was clearly self serving most of the time and to a ridiculous extent, not an ethical gray area.
Should we start with Obama being born in Kenya? Crowd sizes? The possible criminal activity of inflating his net worth (currently under investigation)? Denying Russian interference? The debunked allegation of election fraud and dismissed lawsuits with no proof? These were not necessary for the greater good.
The parent also mentioned Presidents, not CEOs. But I’d argue he is on the high end of the lie generating spectrum for CEOs and not in good company.
