FILE - In this Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., en route to West Virginia for a rally. Trump has been accused of dishonesty, spreading falsehoods, misrepresenting facts, distorting news, passing on inaccuracies and being loose with the truth. But does he lie? News organizations generally resist using the word because it requires them to judge a person's intent. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) It's an avalanche of falsehoods. It's a deluge, a torrent, a rockslide, a barrage, an onslaught, a blitzkrieg.
