Glenn Kessler, editor and chief writer of The Washington Post Fact Checker, in Fact-checking Trump: He's on a dangerous path that must be documented and discouraged (June 2, 2020)

Every president lies at some point, for diplomatic or national security reasons or to sell a policy. But Trump is not known for one big lie — just a constant stream of exaggerated, invented, inconsistent, dubious and false claims. In the nine years I have run The Fact Checker, I have never encountered a politician so cavalier about the facts, so unconcerned with accuracy, so willing to attack people for made-up reasons and so determined to falsely depict his achievements.
