Are Trump's Lies Becoming Even More Blatant?

This morning he tweeted that the GDP was higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in over 100 years! The only problem with that is that it isn't even close to true. In the past 70 years, there have been 62 quarters where that is true. In other words, over 22 percent of the time, the GDP has been higher than the unemployment rate over a quarter. And while a high GDP and low unemployment is good, they measure completely different things and are never compared by economists.

Does Trump even care that his continuing lies are so easily debunked?

Yes, his lies get more blatant. It is a natural progression for pathological liars. Debunking his no real effect on his behavior.

He's also surrounded by people who make stuff up, to please the boss. Take the inauguration day photos, for example. It's a trivial issue, yet he created a forgery around it:
