4. This is the first time his lying won't work.

For something like his tax cuts, he can BS all day long. Proof that he is wrong is not a single document or event. It takes months or years to analyze the data, and the complexity of the economy allows for twisting the numbers or sowing general doubt about anything.

He can lie about Russia and get away with it, even though the lies are obvious. He can bully others to back up his lie, e.g. impeachment.

He has tried to lie about the virus, but the undeniable facts on the ground show hospitals reaching capacity. I just came from a hospital, my wife should have been admitted, but they just replaced fluids, prescribed drugs and released her. Don't give me your crap about "slow the testing down" because of the "numbers looking bad" right now, I am not in the mood. To be clear, my wife does not have covid-19, she was there for other health problems but these types of admission decisions are becoming common place here in San Antonio.
