My New Book - Trumpery: Lies and Alternative Facts of Donald Trump

Do you know that Donald Trump once said that the United States' Gross Domestic Product was less than zero? Yet anyone who understands elementary economics realizes that the total value of everything the United States produces cannot possibly be less than zero.

Do you know that Donald Trump once retweeted an image that said, "Whites killed by blacks--81%"?  The actual figure is 15%, not 81%. It turned out that the image originated with a neo-Nazi whose Twitter account said he admired Hitler and used the name "Non dildo'd goyim."

Do you know that Donald Trump claimed to be 6-foot-3, though his driver's license says he is 6-foot-2? At 6-foot-2 and 236 pounds, he is obese. At 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds, he just barely qualifies as overweight rather than obese.

My book, Trumpery: Lies and Alternative Facts of Donald Trump, tells the stories of Trump's fifty most blatant falsehoods. It retells the story of Trump’s plunge into politics from a different perspective, as a series of falsehoods with the factual background for each - from early statements, such as his support for the claim that Obama was born in Kenya, to recent self-contradictory statements about his contacts with Russia.
