True. Santos said he just "embellished" his resume. No, he wasn't embellishing. He was completely fabricating everything out of thin air. 
Trump is a massive embellisher of facts that are known. He lies about a lot of things, but we do know his life story is based on factual evidence. For example, Trump will say he is worth 10 billion, when it's more like 2 or 3 billion. That is embellishing. 
Santos is just a complete fraud.

I’ve lived an honest life, if you don’t count all the lies >

It’s not a lie… if you believe it enough. >

I think this dude may beat out Trump for America's top pathological liar. >

Trump definitely has the lead on the number of lies, but Santos is a strong contender. I doubt he'll be around long enough to touch Trump's record, though. >

The thing is most of Trump's lies, are twisted half-truths, and it could be explained away through ignorance and incompetence. 
Santos will just tell you it's beautiful sunny day while being interviewed outside in the rain.
