Biden has been in politics for over 50 years (he’s old enough to have issued political statements against school desegregation because he didn’t want his kids to grow up in what he called a “racial jungle”), so I can find his well documented lies all day long.
Trump is definitely a liar, but it’s hard to argue that he’s worse than Biden or other politicians on this topic.
Really? This is what you have—he said he drove a truck when he only rode in it?
This is the kind of thing that you think that makes it hard to argue that Trump is worse?
> Like I said, I can continue this thread all day until I prove to you that Biden is a pathological liar.
You're comparing it to a man who lied over 30,000 times in his 4 years of office. You could continue this all day, and the next day, and the next, and you still won't get anywhere near that.
365 * 4 + 1 day for leap year = 1461 days in office
30,000 / 1461 = 20.5 lies per day on average
That seems like the media was either excessively nitpicky about what Trump said being a lie, or that number is a tad inflated. Maybe it's some of A and some of B?
The other thing to consider is that Trump gave way more speeches than Biden has at this point in their respective presidencies.
I think to do a proper statistical analysis we would need to normalize for the fact that Biden largely hides from the press and when he does talk to them he mostly calls on friendly reporters to answer preselected questions that he already has a prepared answer for. (This is documented fact. He has been caught several times with cheat sheets that tell him what reporters to call on and in what order so that they match his note cards.) He's had much fewer opportunities to lie.
