President Trump has made 1,950 false or misleading claims over 347 days

With just 18 days before President Trump completes his first year as president, he is now on track to exceed 2,000 false or misleading claims, according to our database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.
As of Monday, the total stood at 1,950 claims in 347 days, or an average of 5.6 claims a day. (Our full interactive graphic can be found here.)
As regular readers know, the president has a tendency to repeat himself — often. There are now more than 60 claims that he has repeated three or more times. The president’s impromptu 30-minute interview with the New York Times over the holidays, in which he made at least 24 false or misleading claims, included many statements that we have previously fact-checked.
We currently have a tie for Trump’s most repeated claims, both made 61 times. Both of these claims date from the start of Trump’s presidency and to a large extent have faded as talking points.
One of these claims 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 used to say this a lot, but he’s quieted down since his efforts to repeal the law flopped.

Deplorables/Normies take Trump seriously, not literally. The Left, Dems, Progs, Media, & Never-Trumpers take him literally, not seriously.
Since WaPo is occupied with fake news instead of anything that matters, they’re actually ‘counting’ themselves down into irrelevant oblivion with cr@p like this article.
Well then, why doesn’t WAPO use their worthless front page and list all one-thousand nine-hundred and fifty of them?
...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.
Is anyone outside of the WaPo and the CBO saying that Obamacare is a healthy operation? I submit the WaPo is lying and that, in fact, Obamacare IS “essentially dead.”
And - of the 1950, 1949 of them were deemed lies by the WaaaaPo because he was debunking their fake news lies....the other one was when he told one of his visiting foreign dignitaries that he was doing pretty good on the golf course.....
...and that’s but a fraction of what is put out by the Wash Po in the same period...
Gropping for straws with bull crap logic.
These two grifters (Clintons) from Arkansas came to DC almost 30 yrs ago with dollar signs in their eyes, and have not stopped with their selling out of the country to the highest bidder/donor.
The fact the whoring hacks in the media, like the shills they are, actually pushed for these two low life con artists to get back into the Whitehouse, all the while attacking an honorable businessman as if he was going to hurt the country, is why the media should be considered not only a joke, but dangerous.
The media complex is the mouthpiece for the leftist globalist machine.
The Bezos newspaper commenting on false and misleading is like Goebbles commenting on truth and accuracy.

He said, “I am hungry ” but did not get up immediately and have a meal. An obviously false and misleading statement.
No American with an IQ higher than a dead rat
believes the corrupt MSM, which has been
PROVEN wrong 19,500 times last year.
wow...talk about nuanced crap...gotta read their “fact” check on this
Lets just say this is true (it is not) I would argue that in Trumps 1st year he made 11,950 less false or misleading statments than obama made in his first 3 months.
False “or MISLEADING”?
On such a basis of “not speaking the truth”, I could easily triple that count for Obama’s 1st 347 days in office.
and yet Trump is our best president since Reagan and infinitely better than obummer was
Or, a video caused the spontaneous riot that killed 4 in Benghazi?!
That lie frosts my behind
