Wikipedia has a perhaps relevant entry on "The Big Lie" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie). Appropriately, the article itself contains "lies" (in the more expansive definition of "lies" "statements other than truth"). The inventor of the theory was supposed to be the Nazi minister of Propaganda Goebbels, but it appears earlier in Hitler's _Mein Kampf_ as well. However, it seems a bit naive believe that so many millennia of lying went by without someone noticing that the bigger lies had better success. In any event, Wikipedia dutifully does not fail to follow the current party line in attributing the practice to Mr. Trump.
