President Trump lied more than 3,000 times in 466 days


180430125042-02-trump-04-30-2018-super-169.jpg


(CNN) The Washington Post's Fact-Checker blog has been keeping a strict count of President Donald Trump's many misstatements, untruths and outright lies. And, over the weekend at a rally in Michigan, Trump hit a(nother) milestone: He topped 3,000 untrue or misleading statements in 466 days in office.

That means that, on average, Trump says 6.5 things that aren't true a day. Every. Single. Day.

(Trump is actually picking up the pace when it comes to not telling the truth; he has averaged nine untruths or misleading statements a day over the past two months, according to the Post's count.)

We've never had a president with such a casual relationship to the truth. We have no count of how many lies Barack Obama or George W. Bush told per day because, well, they weren't as committed to saying and then repeating falsehoods as Trump quite clearly is.

In an attempt to put some context on just how often Trump lies, I looked up a few other things we do (or are supposed to do) a certain numbers of times per day.

The closest corollary I found is urination. Yes, peeing. Scientists and health experts say you should go between six and seven times a day. Think of it this way: Every time you go to the bathroom, Donald Trump is saying something that is either a stretch of the truth or a complete break with the truth. Every time.

Here's another way to think about it: You are supposed to drink eight glasses (of eight-ounce) water per day. Most of us don't make it all the way to eight. So, lets say you drink six glasses. Every time you finish off that last drop of water in your glass, the President of the United States has said something that isn't true.

The Power of the Small Lie
The president has repeatedly “revealed” the same catchphrase as new, demonstrating — how he uses minor untruths to confuse the public and destabilize facts


Early in his Thursday-night rally in Elkhart, Indiana, President Trump had a special treat for Hoosiers: He was going to make them the first to hear the tagline for his reelection campaign.

“By the way, this is the first, for Indiana,” he confided. “Our new slogan for 2020. You know what it is? ‘Keep America Great.’ Because we’re doing so well that in another two years when we start the heavy campaign, ‘Make America Great Again’ wouldn’t work out too well.”


The Tenacity of Trump


The crowd cheered, and the press dutifullyreported that the president had revealed the new slogan.

But wait a second—that’s not quite right. Didn’t Trump announce his new slogan exactly two months prior, on March 10, in Moon, Pennsylvania? Trump said he was revealing “Keep America Great” then, too, earning the same dutiful headlines. In its writeup, the Washington Examiner focused on how Trump had emphasized the exclamation mark at the end of the phrase.

But wait, that also sounds familiar. Days before his 2017 inauguration, Trump sat for an interview with Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post, in which he triumphantly described how he’d come up with the “Make America Great Again” line. (In reality, as Tumulty pointed out, he hadn’t—Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign first used the phrase, but the Gipper never trademarked it.) Then this happened, according to Tumulty:

Halfway through his interview with The Washington Post, Trump shared a bit of news: He already has decided on his slogan for a reelection bid in 2020.

“Are you ready?” he said. “‘Keep America Great,’ exclamation point.”

This is vintage Trump. He knows it’s not true that he’s really announci
ng something new, but he also figures that the people at the rally won’t know anybetter. They weren’t in Moon, and most of the press—no matter how much he maligns them—won’t realize it’s a retread either, leaving the claim largely unchallenged. You can’t make an untruth a truth simply by repeating it enough times, but you might get people to forget it’s not true.

The slogan was not the only example Thursday night of Trump’s tendency to repeat a lie until his audience is numb to it. For example, Trump keeps insisting that his border wall is under construction, although it is not. “We have to build a wall and we have already started the wall,” he said at the Indiana rally. This is not true. There is ongoing work on existing border fences, and the spending bill passed by Congress in March (and signed by a frustrated Trump) allocates $1.6 billion for that effort. But it explicitly prevents the construction of any of the new border-wall prototypes the president has ordered.

Now, one could argue that the fence is the wall—but the fence existed before the election, and Trump’s raison de courir was that a real wall, broad and deep and high, was needed. Claiming that this new wall is under construction is simply false, but the president keeps saying it, even tweeting pictures of a project that began in 2009 and claiming they show his wall.

To bolster the claim on Thursday, Trump delivered a strange bit about the border fence outside San Diego, which contained a dizzying series of claims. Congress appropriated $251 million for secondary fencing there, where a fence already exists. Echoing a tweet in April, Trump said the people of San Diego were eager for a wall, which may or may not be true, although its city council and Republican mayor have been less positive. Then he said that he should have refused to build the wall there, so that San Diegans would pressure California Governor Jerry Brown, a frequent Trump sparring partner, to back border-security measures. Finally, he claimed that—actually—he had asked his aides what it would cost to halt construction, so that San Diegans would pressure Brown.

“They got back to me and said it would cost approximately $7 million to stop. That is not big numbers when you hear about the numbers we talk about, $7 million to stop and restart at a later date,” Trump said. “I said, ‘I can’t do that to the American people, keep building the wall.’”

The whole thing is peculiar: Even if he decided against the plan in the end, the president is saying he considered punishing his own supporters to make a political point, and considered burning millions of taxpayer money to do it. As far as I can tell, these alleged internal discussions haven’t been reported anywhere previously, and it’s unclear whether they really happened. Customs and Border Patrol referred to the White House for comment, and a spokeswoman did not immediately reply.

Trump’s adventures in bogus claims extended overseas, too.He devoted a long section of his speech to a discussion of how he had supposedly saved millions of dollars on the construction of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. This time around, he didn’t really place a solid figure on what he claims the embassy will run, but he’s told this story several times before, with varying amounts. In March, he said it would cost $250,000. In April, he said it would be more like $400,000. In both cases, he was misleading. The six-figure price tag is for a temporary embassy in Jerusalem, while the U.S. is still working to build a new, permanent embassy, which will be more expensive. (The GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson has offered to chip in for the cost.)

Elsewhere in the speech, Trump claimed that the Obama administration “gave” Iran $150 billion as part of the nuclear deal, which is misleading both in terms of the size and what the monies were—Iranian funds that had been frozen. He also said, “We have a trade deficit with almost every country in the world. We are changing that around rapidly.” But the trade deficit actually grew during his first year in office.

Once listeners were snowed under with these claims, Trump laid the groundwork for other outlandish statements of the vaguer variety. “What we did was unprecedented in the history of our country and the history of the world, what we did with this election,” Trump said. Insofar as Donald Trump had never previously been elected president of the United States, this is true, though it’s hard to extract anything more meaningful. “We have delivered, one of the only times ever, more than we promised,” he said. “I have delivered more than I promised, if you think about it.” As I have written, Trump has pushed hard on his central promises, from the wall to Obamacare repeal to the travel ban, but many of them remain incomplete, and this claim isn’t remotely true.

Critics sometimes suggest that Trump is employing Adolf Hitler’s infamous “big lie” tactic. In fact, what Trump is using is the opposite: It’s the small lie. Through sheer repetition, Trump convinces the public and the press that what he’s saying is true, and his slogan really is new and being revealed for the first time. Piece by piece, objective reality corrodes, and facts give way to alternative facts.

Trump made 54 false claims last week. His last six weeks are all among his 10 most dishonest as president


By DANIEL DALE
WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF
Thu., July 26, 2018

WASHINGTON—Donald Trump’s dishonesty binge continues.

The U.S. president made 54 false claims last week, the seventh-most of his presidency. All six of his last six weeks have been among his 10 most dishonest.

As so often, Trump made many of his false claims while speaking to friendly interviewers. He uttered 15 to Fox’s Tucker Carlson, eight to Fox’s Sean Hannity, four to CNBC’s Joe Kernen. And he delivered 13 more on Twitter.


false_claims_jul22.jpg

Donald Trump's false claims uttered by week.

Trump is now up to 2,083 false claims for the first 549 days of his presidency, an average of 3.8 per day.


If Trump is a serial liar, why call this a list of “false claims,” not lies? Click here for our detailed explanation. The short answer is that we can’t be sure that each and every one was intentional. In some cases, he may have been confused or ignorant. What we know, objectively, is that he was not telling the truth.
