Current rankings on Politifact for Trump and Spicer, only 17% pants on fire lies!

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/

True (4%)

Mostly True (12%)

Half True (14%)

Mostly False (19%)

False (33%)

Pants on Fire (17%)

I'd argue the pants on fire lies are higher than that. The man lies when he breathes. The man lies when he says nothing.
