S.V. Dáte, a White House reporter for HuffPost, asked President Trump at a briefing Thursday if he regrets "all of the lying" he has done "to the American people" over the last three and a half years.
Why it matters: The Washington Post fact-checker finds that Trump has made over 20,000 false or misleading claims throughout his presidency. Trump, who has rarely been confronted directly with claims that he has lied, paused for a moment before moving on to another reporter without answering the question.
REPORTER: "Mr. President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you've done to the American people?"
REPORTER: "All the lying. All the dishonesties."

Should have asked, “Mr. President, what’s the best lie you’ve told the American people?”
Man can’t miss an opportunity to brag.

The dam broke down after the Axios interview. Reporters are now calling him out immediately. This should have happened three years ago though. He got away with way too many lies.

I wish the next reporter followed up when Trump ignored the question and just asked it again
