I did not compare the number of lies. Nobody knows the real numbers. I don't know of any compilation of the number of lies told by all the Presidents. I doubt that it would be possible to compile such. Especially if the criteria for being a lie that is applied to Trump was applied to all other Presidents. If being wrong about something, misspeaking, having a different opinion, getting dates mixed up, and so on, are all to be considered lies, there's no telling what number of lies any other politician has spoken.
What I consider fairly consistent is the use of the lie by nearly all politicians as a means of 24/7 campaigning. And, up to this point, the consequence of Trump's supposed "lies" have not led to the catastrophes of some past Presidents, even so-called great ones.
Just some perspective re Trump "lies" you might want to consider. Or not.
