Just to take one explicit lie as an example, Trump did not call the European Union “a foe” to the extent that the public is led to believe.

In an interview with CBS News last Saturday, anchor Jeff Glor asked Trump, “Who’s your biggest competitor, your biggest foe, globally right now?”

Here is Trump’s full answer: “I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn’t think of the European Union but they’re a foe. Russia’s a foe in certain respects. China’s a foe economically, certainly they’re a foe, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad. It doesn’t mean anything. It means that they’re competitors. They want to do well and we want to do well.”
