'He also does it because he likes the fact that you guys are talking about it,' Scaramucci told CNN on Friday.
Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who was ousted from the administration in just ten days, said that President Donald Trump lies so much “because it’s fun.”
But after a tumultuous start to his job, where he threatened to “fire everybody” and vowed to purge the administration of leakers, Scaramucci was fired after just a week and a half. He actually set a record for the shortest amount of time served in the position since its creation over five decades ago.

According to the Washington Post fact checking database, Trump has made over 9,451 lies in just over 800 days. He is now averaging about 22 false or misleading claims a day, which is a significant rise from the 5.9 misleading claims he was averaging after his first year in office.
