One has to give Trump credit, few people could lie so often and so consistently and yet act outraged when called out on lying. It is an amazing act, one that few humans could accomplish. One wonders if asked, could Trump even acknowledge his lies or are lies just an integral part of his person and character and he actually sees them as valid replies? And what does this say of his followers, do they too believe, or do they just enjoy the show?

'Trump was the regime that so many gave their minds over to.'
"And his assault on truth-which had been clear in 2016 when I sat in that New Hampshire coffee shop-had continued unabated for four years by this point. In fact, it had increased and accelerated. In his first year as president, he averaged six false claims every day. In his second year, that number went up to sixteen false claims a day. In year three, it was twenty-two. And then in his final year, his false claims vaulted up to a staggering average of thirty-nine per day. In all, he uttered more than thirty thousand lies, deceptions, and misleading statements during his four-year presidency" Testimony Jon Ward (p206)
