President Trump made a host of dubious claims during two recent public appearances, jumping from taxes to trade, from Iraqi oil to Canadian immigration laws, from promoting voter-fraud conspiracy theories to suggesting a California mayor should be charged with obstruction of justice.
We counted 24 false or misleading statements in Trumps infrastructure speech in Ohio on March 29 and his roundtable on taxes in West Virginia on Thursday. This is not an exhaustive list, however, and some of Trumps claims include multiple inaccuracies.
The president seems to enjoy going off-script Trump literally threw out his prepared remarks with a flourish in West Virginia and perhaps as a result, we have a lot to unpack.
As usual with our roundups of multiple claims, we will not be giving Trump a Pinocchio rating.
