This information from the Washington Post is astounding. This is Trump’s factual tally for his first 100 days in office:
488: The number of false or misleading claims made by the president. That’s an average of 4.9 claims a day.
10: Number of days without a single false claim. (On six of those days, the president golfed at a Trump property.)
4: Number of days with 20 or more false claims. (Feb. 16, Feb. 28, March 20 and April 21.) He made 19 false claims on April 29, his 100th day, though we did not include his interview with “Face the Nation,” since that aired April 30.
Many of Trump’s false claims are repeats:
This makes Trump somewhat unique among politicians. Many will drop a false claim after it has been deemed false. But Trump just repeats the same claim over and over.
One of those assertions (spoken 17 times) is that Obamacare is on the edge of disaster. The CBO says that while Obamacare has issues, it is not imploding and is expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future.
I tell you something — it makes blogging almost obsolete. In the old days, I could write a lengthy post or two about ONE lie in the Bush era. Now I’m lucky if I get a tweet out about it.
