I know, right? Remember how the NYC reporters celebrated when the number of dead American soldiers reached 2,000?

President Trump has made 1,628 false or misleading claims over 298 days

For some reason, our year-long project analyzing, categorizing and tracking every false or misleading claim by President Trump had seemed like quite a burden in the past month. Well, the numbers are in and now we know why: In the past 35 days, Trump has averaged an astonishing nine claims a day.
The total now stands at 1,628 claims in 298 days, or an average of 5.5 claims a day. That puts the president on track to reach 1,999 claims by the end of his first year in office, though he obviously would easily exceed 2,000 if he maintained the pace of the past month. (Our full interactive graphic can be found here.)
As regular readers know, the president has a tendency to repeat himself — often. There are now at least 50 claims that he has repeated three or more times.
Trump’s most repeated claim, uttered 60 times, was some variation of the statement that the Affordable Care Act is dying and “essentially dead.” The Congressional Budget Office has said that the Obamacare exchanges, despite well-documented issues, are not imploding and are expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future. Indeed, healthy enrollment for the coming year has surprised health-care experts.
Trump also repeatedly takes credit for events or business decisions that happened before he took the oath of office — or had even been elected. Fifty-five times, he has touted that he secured business investments and job announcements that had been previously announced and could easily be found with a Google search.

Does the Compost ever give up?
Every single time it turns out that President Trump was correct and the democrats and their media bullies were wrong.
Misleading is in there to be misleading. Misleading to whom? Idiots on the left?
Supposedly, 4Chan Pol has “leaks” indicating that the top rats are terrified right now and the little extra helping of hate lately might explain that.
That's nothin' the Washington Compost does that many in a couple of days, on top of these Fake News lies about President Trump.

To the posts 476,221 false statements in the same time frame.
I look at the NY Times every day and am appalled. Every SINGLE article, it seems, and headline, blares hatred at Trump. I wonder that someone I know who reads the Times as others read the Bible hasn’t caught on yet that it is a disgraceful propaganda sheet. She also watches CNN with holy devotion.
And the WaPo does mislead more in a day.
Someone just last evening predicted that Amazon will go down because of the WaPo.
Well that tears it for me! I’m not gonna vote for him ever again....unless he runs.
Someone just last evening predicted that Amazon will go down because of the WaPo.
I beg that to happen.
Even if it were true, it would be a minuscule amount compared to the washington compost.
And Hill and Bill made that many misleading statements in the first month of the White Water investigation... Hypocrite press.
“Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse. —Mark Twain
So what are today’s 9 lies?-)
They buy their ink by the barrel.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor...
“Or when the homeless disappeared from the news during a Democrat administration only to reappear during a Republican one!”
I remember that. Every year through the reagan and bush years, especially during the thanksgiving-christmas seasons we would get deluged with all sorts of news stories, special reports, etc, on the homeless problem. Then came the 1992 election. Clinton won and that very following thanksgiving-christmas seasons of 1992, the media made not a peep about the homeless for the first time in many, many years.
The Washington Post and the Star.
Both tabloids, but at last the Star gets some things right.
