It doesn't matter if every part of it is factually true or not - it doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Yeah, this. It substantially worsens the heat/light ratio of ensuing discussion and adds little.

Trump is not an obscure topic. "Trump lies all the time" is not a novel statement people won't have encountered and considered before, if someone already believes "Trump lies all the time" then that sentence tells them nothing new and if they don't believe it the post is hardly going to change their mind.
