President Trump is by no means perfect.

That said, he is an incredibly better choice than Hilliary Clinton would have been! As I seem to recall, they were our options in 2016...

Also, it has to be said that regardless of whatever misspoken or inaccurate statements he's made, he's been incredibly honest in making and keeping his campaign promises. That's something I'd come to think I'd never see in a President, and in that way he outshines the last several.

Not to mention that his policies are almost all excellent!

You just know this is a false and misleading claim.

I was catching up on Tucker Carlson's show over the weekend and caught a segment he did on robert reich bizarre call for the Trump administration to be "annulled" (as if there were such a thing).

Tucker said, "The left doesn't merely disagree with the outcome of the 2016 election - they believe it's a lie; a trick. They are angry because they feeeeeel betrayed and cheated out of what belongs to them. In their disgust they have used up and worn out every possible epithet. All they have left is violence".

I hope that you are ready for it when it comes. I know that I am...

This is just another example of how pathetic an organization the WP is. With all that is going on in the US and the world,its focus is on this bogus, partisan claim that Trump is a liar. It is also the typical Leftist approach — say something long enough and a Republican will cave — but they don’t know Trump. He fights and that is what they really hate about him.

...just under an average of 8 per day.

That is ridiculously low for a politician. What are they complaining about? That’s actually very close to being considered an “honest politician”.

I think they counted “good morning” as misleading.
“What do you mean? There’s nothing good about this morning! You are lying!”
LMAO! They are a parody of themselves!

But you can keep your doctor, Obama promised a thousand times.

Terrific. Did you count how many CNN made? MSNBC? Yourself? Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders Warren, Waters? No? Then what good are you!

I did. At least I attempted to examine what they call a “false or misleading claim.” While I will admit Trump leans toward inexact language at times, it’s clear the Post gave no benefit of the doubt to the president when compiling this list. Unverifiable claims are called lies even though they cannot be determined one way or the other, for example.

I’m sure that with sufficient time to research, and a methodology that favors Trump, most of this list could be shown as truthful. For example, the Post includes Trump’s statement on Aug 31 2018 “They [Democrats] want to abolish ICE. They don't mind crime” because only “Some Democrats have been calling to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but it’s not a widely held position and some Democrats say the agency should be reformed, not abolished.” I wonder if the Post ever looked into whether all some town Pennsylvania resident clinged to guns and religion or not.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... and the DOE's numbers on "school shootings" also over-counted (even hyper-counted) to arrive at numbers that might shock and awe the sheep... they did it so egregiously that even liberal NPR had to call them out on it.

Numbers are tools for control to them, accuracy means nothing.

And EVERY liberal all over social media will be repeating this today “Trump told 4000 lies so far”

Trump has made zero false or misleading statements to those that are non-delusional. The WP has made several million in the same time period.
