Trump's Big CON: 263 Days, 1,318 False or Misleading Claims

"The Fact Checker has completed two-thirds of our year-long project analyzing, categorizing and tracking every false or misleading claim by Trump, as well as his flip-flops. As of our latest update Oct. 10, 2017, or his 264th day in office, the president has made 1,318 claims over 263 days. He has averaged five claims a day, even picking up pace since the six-month mark. (Our full interactive graphic can be found here.)

When you track Trump’s claims so closely, it can often feel like deja vu. Trump has a tendency to repeat himself, and that includes his false or misleading claims. (For an overview of his most frequently repeated claims, see our update from August when Trump surpassed the 1,000-claim mark.)

With almost exactly 100 days left to go in our year-long project, Trump is inching ever closer to breaking 2,000 claims." [Links in original.]

Read the Washington Post, President Trump has made 1,318 false or misleading claims over 263 days.
