In the 466 days since he took the oath of office, President Trump has made 3,001 false or misleading claims, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.

That’s an average of nearly 6.5 claims a day.

When we first started this project for the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. Slowly, the average number of claims has been creeping up.

Indeed, since we last updated this tally two months ago, the president has averaged about 9 claims a day.

Our interactive graphic, created with the help of Leslie Shapiro and Kaeti Hinck of The Washington Post’s graphics department, displays a running list of every false or misleading statement made by Trump. We also catalogued the president’s many flip-flops, since those earn Upside-Down Pinocchios if a politician shifts position on an issue without acknowledging that he or she did so.

3. I can't get to the Post to read the entire article

does that include lies he tells multiple times? I mean, if he says "NO COLLUSION" 100 times does that count as one lie or 100?

4. That counts as 100!

There's an interactive timeline to check by topic or keywords and it shows how many times that "claim" is repeated.

5. republicans have submissively Assumed the Position for every one of them

That tells a whole lot about the moral rot at the heart of the KGOP.

7. Unfair! Fake news!

What about all the lies the Democrat President has told? You libruls never talk about that, do you? You're so partisan!

8. Can you imagine any other president - of either party - still getting away with this??

Jimmy Carter promised to "always tell the truth" as president and the press were all over every single statement he ever made, looking for the slightest mistruth!
