For fact checkers at the Washington Post, the president surpassed a historic milestone over the weekend.
The Washington Post, which has been tracking the truthfulness of the president’s public assertions in tweets, speeches, interviews and press conferences, reports that Trump surpassed 10,000 false and misleading statements since his inauguration.
“The tsunami of untruths just keeps looming larger and larger,” Kessler wrote in his “Fact Checker” column. “Congress balked at funding the concrete wall he envisioned,” the Post noted, “so he has tried to pitch bollard fencing and repairs of existing barriers as ‘a wall.’” Fact-checking Trump, though, is not an exact science. The Toronto Star, which has also been keeping track of Trump’s false claims, had Trump at less than half the Post’s figure through April 24.
