What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

a couple of points:

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

Why did we evolve to have so many nerve endings in our anuses?

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

What are some examples of unofficial acts by presidents?

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.
