President Donald Trump brushed aside a White House reporter’s question on “all the lying you’ve done to the American people.”
The question was asked by Huffington Post reporter S.V. Dáte, who later tweeted wanted to ask Trump that question for “five years.”
For five years I've been wanting to ask him that.

“Mr. President, after 3½ years do you regret at all all the lying you have done to the American people,” Dáte asked at Trump’s daily White House press briefing on Thursday.
Trump responded, “All the what?”
“All the lying, all the dishonesties.”
“And who is that?”
“You have done.”
“Uh…”
“Tens of thousands.”
“Go ahead please,” Trump said, calling on the next reporter.
The NY Daily News noted that “Trump has lied more than 20,000 times during his presidency, according to a Washington Post tracker.”
