Former President Donald J. Trump has been known for making false claims and spreading conspiracy theories throughout his presidency and beyond. From the 2020 election to inflation rates, Trump has consistently provided misleading information and distorted the truth. Despite being held accountable in court for deception, Trump's base of supporters continues to believe his claims, often dismissing them as exaggerations or recognizing that he may not always have the details right. Trump's impact on the Republican Party has made lying more acceptable, and his false statements have become a divisive issue in American society. As the 2020 election results were contested, Americans were forced to take sides on whether they believed in the system or in Trump's claims of a stolen election.
