Washington (CNN) — 

Former President Donald Trump is littering his public remarks with fictional stories.

This isn’t run-of-the-mill political spin, the kind of statistic-twisting and accomplishment-exaggerating that political candidates of all stripes engage in. Rather, the Republican presidential nominee is telling colorful lies that are completely untethered to reality.

Here is LIE #9 from Donald Trump:

A ‘Man of the Year’ award in Michigan

Since 2016, Trump has told a lie that he was named “Man of the Year” in Michigan before he entered politics. Media outlets including CNN have repeatedly noted that Trump never got such an award and that the award doesn’t even appear to exist. But Trump claimed at a Michigan event on Tuesday that he has now been vindicated.

“The press said, ‘Oh, it never happened.’ Well, then it did happen. They found out where it was,” Trump said. “But it was like 15 years ago, a beautiful area, but nobody remembered it; nobody remembered it all. All of a sudden, like through a miracle, they found out it did exist.”

That’s a lie on top of a lie. The media has not discovered proof that Trump got a Michigan Man of the Year award.

His campaign didn’t respond Wednesday to a request to explain what he was talking about.

Trump has been spewing this LIE for eight years. He obviously knows by now that this is completely FALSE. But he doesn’t care one bit. That is because Donald Trump is a pathological liar. The only thing Donald Trump cares about is money and power, and he is happy to deceive millions of gullible Americans with truckloads of lies and bullshit, in order to manipulate Americans to vote for him.

If Trump claimed to have won “Con Man of the Year” or “Convicted Felon of the Year” or “Rapist of the Year” there might be some chance that he was telling the truth, but the idea that he won a “Man of the Year” award is absurd on its face.

Trump is a pathological liar and a sociopath, so he is the last person in the world who should be leading the United States of America.
