The Washington Post is out with an updated count of President Trump's false and misleading statements since Inauguration Day. And it shows that Trump has surpassed the 10,000 mark. It's a milestone, but not a cause for celebration. Whatever the opposite of popping champagne is, do that, I guess?
"The president continues to say false or misleading statements at an unbelievable pace," The Post's fact-checker-in-chief, Glenn Kessler, said on CNN's "New Day" Monday morning.
"He hit 5,000 in September. Now here it is, seven months later, and he's now hit 10,000," Kessler said. "That's an average of about 23 false or misleading claims a day in the last seven months."
Kessler's new story, co-written with Salvador Rizzo and Meg Kelly, says "the tsunami of untruths just keeps looming larger and larger."
Many of the misstatements are about immigration issues — with distortions and utter falsehoods about migrants, border walls, and Democrats.
Other common bogus claims relate to Robert Mueller's probe, trade talks with other countries, and Trump's accomplishments in office. The Post's database includes everything from exaggerations to outright lies.
As of Saturday night, after the president held a rally in Wisconsin, the Post's official count was 10,111 false or misleading statements in 828 days. The Post has observed that Trump has become looser and looser with the facts over time.

Yeah, like that time he wrote a zillion stories on Russian Collusion. That was a doozy.
You are “concerned.”
Half of Obama’s lies......or less.......
Plus probably the majority of what CNN considers lies are actually the truth........
And how many has the WaPo posted?.......................Or Obozo?..............You can keep your doctor and your health plan...................
Then he’s fallen waaaaay behind the WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Dear CNN,
Ignore what a politician says. It is for the consumption of all who here it - including our enemies.
Pay attention to what they do.
That’s just them bragging that they crush him in that category.
“If you meet every day with optimism – if you confront every obstacle with determination – if you refuse to give up, if you never quit, if you face every challenge with confidence and pride – then there is no goal you cannot achieve, and no dream beyond your reach! #YBLS2018” Donald Trump

If true, that means that the Trumpster - in years of public speeches - has managed to almost equal one week of lies from the WaPo, and one hour of of lies from the Communist News Network.
Journalism - when you’re too dumb even to be a NEA member or a member of congress,
exactly ... 100’s of times each day, times 1000 days (roughly),
equals at least 100,000 lies for Big Media in the last 3 years
Washington Post says Trump has topped 10,000 false or misleading statements

... of course they define 9,999 of those as the times he denied colluding with the Russians.
More like 9x10 to the 50th power, by the Compost.

He’s got a long way to go before he can catch up to the Washington Post.
They probably count opinions, theories, exaggerations, unrealized aspirations, honest errors, imprecisions, and misstatements about trivial matters to be “lies.”
We could all go on, and on, and on, and on - but the reality is that it is the left and their sycophants who lie. They have zero honor.
They made it up. Always accuse the other side of doing what you're doing.
MEDIA LOGIC
Misleading Statements = Confused and Lost
If a democrats says it, it’s spin. If DJT says it is a lie or misleading. That is how the MSM is spinning it.
