President Trump has made 4,713 false or misleading claims in 592 days

In the 592 days since he took the oath of office, President Trump has made 4,713 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 about eight claims a day.
When we first started this project for the president's first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. But the average number of claims per day keeps climbing as the president nears the 600-day mark of his presidency.
In fact, in the past three months, the president averaged 15.4 claims a day, so almost one-third of the total claims made as president have come in this period. At that pace, he will top 5,000 claims in September.
On July 5, the president had reached a new daily high of 79 false and misleading claims, but he came close on Aug. 30 with 73 claims. On a monthly basis, June and August rank in first and second place during Trump's presidency, with 534 and 469 claims, respectively. July is in third place, with 448 claims.
Our award-winning 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.

Pot calling the kettle black..
And still miles to go to catch up to CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Thou protests too much phenomenon.
Liberals claim anything they disagree with, no matter how stupid or wrong they are, is a lie told by Trump.
They believe in global warming, so if he doesn’t, then they say he lied.
Keep counting WAPO and while your office is at it, watch paint dry. You all have nothing better to do.
They really live in an alternate universe. They will bury you in BS. Isn’t it amazing, none of what most Americans believe in is accurate, according to these leftists.
So what? Is the country in dire straights? WAPO the Chicken Little press when a Republican or anyone other than a Democrat is in the WH. If this is true, it only shows that Trump is passing DC politics 101.
Sounds good to me.
The Truth is lies to the Left.
“President Trump has made 4,713 false or misleading claims in 592 days”
Piker...Obama made that many lies every day.
Liberals believe themselves when they speak about such things and what I mean is that they make the absurd claim that Trump said “4713” false things thus they require you to agree to the number and not challenge them. Meanwhile in realityville the mere fact that they disagree with him on something means he is lying....not that he is actually lying. Then there is part two. Because they have meticulously counted they are therefore honest in this representation and you are an ignorant idiot who follows a liar if you disagree. They pull this same arrogant crap when they post things like some false “study” that shows far more educated and intelligent people support their worldview or candidate than do the right.....that far more idiots watch fox news than CNN and on and on and on.
Trump is a master troll. :)
Journalism is a dead craft.
Surely the commie rag kept up with Obama’s lies. Nope, didn’t see that anywhere.
Seems obvious to me that this number is not precisely correct. Maybe it should be higher, but almost certainly it should be much lower. But in any case, I'll bet my life that 4,713 is not precisely correct.
Which means the WaPo is still lying about the President.
Ah, all those misleading claims of Trump that turned out to be true... yes, the Compost is engaged in sophistry, calling false and misleading which are Trump speculations that end up true.
Maybe they should give us a list of that instead.
If he said, “Good morning” they’d call it a false statement.
I am pretty much shocked by how every day liberals who were friends you could talk to now have become complete idiots drinking the media kool aid to near violent level, echoing all the hate the lib media spews.
I really do not care for people like that so easily swayed
