Mainecat Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 President Trump has made 12,019 false or misleading claims over 928 days Source: Washington Post President Trump has made 12,019 false or misleading claims over 928 days By Glenn Kessler, Salvador Rizzo and Meg Kelly August 12 at 3:00 AM President Trump’s proclivity for spouting exaggerated numbers, unwarranted boasts and outright falsehoods has continued at a remarkable pace. As of Aug. 5, his 928th day in office, he had made 12,019 false or misleading claims, according to the Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement the president has uttered. Trump crossed the 10,000 mark on April 26, and he has been averaging about 20 fishy claims a day since then. From the start of his presidency, he has averaged about 13 such claims a day. About one-fifth of these claims are about immigration, his signature issue — a percentage that has grown since the government shut down over funding for his promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. In fact, his most repeated claim — 190 times — is that his border wall is being built. Congress balked at funding the concrete barrier he envisioned, so he has tried to pitch bollard fencing and repairs of existing barriers as “a wall.” False or misleading claims about trade, the economy and the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign each account for about 10 percent of the total. Claims on those subjects are also among his most repeated. -snip- Read more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/12/president-trump-has-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Ok so lets take the premise that Trump lies or misleads a lot. The only honest way to quantify and judge such a premise is to compare it to other presidents. Until that happens, and it never will, this is the height of foolishness, particularly since all you guys do is cut and paste. No lie bigger than Russian collusion, but here you still are. Mental fucking midgets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
