Podcast host laughs in Trump's face when ex-president calls himself 'a truthful person'
Podcaster and comedian Andrew Schultz this week laughed in Donald Trump's face when the former president tried to vouch for his own personal honesty.
During an appearance on Schultz's "Flagrant" podcast, Trump declared himself "basically a truthful person," which prompted Schultz to crack up in hysterics for several seconds.
In fact, Trump during his one term in office set records for dishonesty, according to fact-checkers.
After he left the White House in January of 2021, the Washington Post estimated that he had made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements over the span of just four years.

What was particularly striking, reported the Post, is that Trump grew more and more dishonest as his term progressed.
"Trump averaged about six [false] claims a day in his first year as president, 16 claims day in his second year, 22 claims day in this third year — and 39 claims a day in his final year," the Post wrote at the time. "Put another way, it took him 27 months to reach 10,000 claims and an additional 14 months to reach 20,000. He then exceeded the 30,000 mark less than five months later."
