Quote:A leading Fox News host has issued a bizarre defence of Donald Trump, in which he described the president as a "liar" and a “full-blown BS artist”. Tucker Carlson said the president makes misleading statements because “that’s who he is” and compared Mr Trump to a “salesman”. “He's a talker, a boaster, a booster, a compulsive self-promoter. At times, he's a full-blown BS artist,” Mr Carlson said. The Fox News presenter also rejected the White House’s claim that Mr Trump’s 2017 inauguration was “the largest ever measured on the national mall”. “We're not going to lie to you: that was untrue,” he added. A Washington Post report published in October found Mr Trump had made more than 13,000 false or misleading claims since taking office in January 2017..Fox News host Tucker Carlson admits media is right about Trump’s lying: ‘He’s a full-blown BS artist’ | The Independent
