Artist Installed A Wall Of Lies Which Displays Every Lie That Donald Trump Has Told Whilst He Was President And It Was Already Vandalised

One of the few good things that has come out of the current political climate is the creation of some fantastic art. This new installation is no exception.

A lack of media diversity and limited fact checking has meant that a certain President has been able to go around yelling some pretty terrible lies. And, worst of all, a lot of these lies have been accepted as true by their audience.

This artist decided to create a visual representation of the lies; in the form of a colour-coded wall full of all the fact checked lies. Sadly, it was vandalised, but, nevertheless, it is still a very important piece of art.

Trump's "Wall Of Lies" popped off when it was posted on Twitter. Read on for more detail...

The wall displays over 20,000 lies that Donald Trump has told since he became president four years ago.

The lies are colour coded by category and were fact-checked by the Washington Post.

Originally, Radio Free Brooklyn planned on an on-air reading of all of the President's lies, but, due to Covid-19, this plan was changed.

Phil Buehler, the artist behind the piece has said:

“It was just too good an idea not to happen somehow. Since I’ve been making large-scale panoramic photographs of political events, a gigantic mural of all the lies seemed the perfect match to Tom’s original idea."

“Seen from a distance, it looks like chaos – perhaps an apt metaphor for this presidency, but when you step closer, you can read the individual lies, which are in chronological order color-coded by categories like coronavirus, Russia, immigration, the environment and jobs. Then when you step back, you can recognize patterns in Trump’s lying.”

This is how the wall was assembled.

Sadly, the wall was later vandalised.

But, the community rallied around...

And the wall was remade; bigger and better.

“When we saw that the wall had been vandalized, my first reaction was rage. But that was soon replaced with determination to not let bullies win, and we decided that we’d build another one, and make it even bigger.”

This is some scary math
