What petty nonsense by “FactCheck.” Trump was giving a political speech with his typical rhetorical flourishes, not a scientific lecture on meteorology. The point Trump made was correct. Sea level really hasn’t risen very much.

Yes the Toronto Star has some list of all Trump’s “lies”. I think it borrows it from Huffington Post or something? Any how like I tell my six year old. I said I would play a game with you at 6:00. The fact I did not do it does not mean I lied. It means I forgot. Something children have a hard time understanding. A mistruth is not a lie. But the list the Star employs are largely just misstatements or subjects of hyperbole or subjective opinion. Very petty. These fact checkers are checking subjectives. So when Trump says “this is the greatest economy in 100 years” you can’t fact check that. In all fairness you can criticize the comment as being a weak argument because what does “greatest economy” mean? It could mean 100 things.
