Dale: Reflections on four weird years fact checking every word from Donald Trump

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/19/polit...ump/index.html

I fact checked every public word Donald Trump said or tweeted for just under four years. The job was unrelenting. The job was unrelentingly weird.

Lots of politicians lie as a means to an end -- to wiggle out of a scandal or to inflate their policy accomplishments. Trump was willing to lie about everything, all the time, often for no obvious reason. This was lying as a way of life.

And it took over much of my own life.
