As an european, I was very surprised to see how Trump repeatedly spread misinformation either by ignorance or by design (i.e. to have good numbers on infections and to calm stock market) on Coronavirus press releases, even on the CDC, even with CDC leadership and scientific advisors present (advisors who then say the opposite Trump said). I found that Wikipedia article, and I think it's fascinating how he can get away with so much falsehood, even deny saying things that he was recorded saying. Also, in the advent of Deep Fakes technology, that probably legitimizes to lie even more as he can later claim that any videos saying a falsehood are product of a deep fake...
