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.

Why keep giving these POSs media?
Don’t publish their lies! We all know they’re lies. It does not help a damn thing!
It’a not going to convince a leftist to ‘think’. STOP IT, PLEASE!
NO FREE MEDIA LIE TIME!
Hey Brian Stelter, CNN, Washington Post.. Trump lies all the time? Name one!
Trump will take a long time to catch up to CNN and WaPo. Good job Donald.
THIS!!!!! 1000% THIS!!!!
There are a dedicated group of the “concerned” who re-post this fiction. There really isn’t a need to give it any more publicity than it has.
It’s fiction writing, and spreading it only increases its reach.
We should be boycotting these places, not giving them free press.
More like the Post just doubled down on lies about Trump.
That last one was 10,000 lies about Trump in one breath.
Add a few zeros for the number of lies the Post has published.
From the paper and network that reported for over 2 years on a fake, totally debunked story.
Pray tell, who is the keeper of the list and where is the list stored?
10,000 is too many to reveal all at once so I suggest that those folks who support this list share the worse and the least worse false or misleading statements for review and discussion.
Are there folks with the courage to do this?
The Washington post may be concerned that Trump is catching up with them :)
I’ve heard that kind of statement repeatedly, but have never seen one quoted that was not twisted into a pretzel to make it appear a lie.
Did the main stream media attempt to count the lies of Billy Boy Clinton?
I remember when Senator Bob Kerrey, Democrat of Nebraska, made the statement that Bill Clinton was the best liar he had ever encountered.
WaPo. All lies all the time.
POTUS does not lie much from what I have seen.
Coming from people who fear the truth ... It shown how much work Trump has done to undermine their fraud (and their worse crimes against Truth and America)
It won’t be anyone from Fox eventually found hanging from lampposts ...
They call things many things Trump says that are true lies.
They also interpret some of his statements in a hyper-literal fashion. For example the media calls “This is the best economy ever” a lie. Obviously he was just trying to get the point across that the economy’s doing pretty well. But the psycho media “fact checked” the statement and of course determined that the economy was better in 1966 or whatever it was. There’s no set criteria for what constitutes the best economy anyway.
Then there’s statements that no sane person cares about such as whether the crowd at his inaugural was the largest ever.
They probably count opinions, theories, exaggerations, unrealized aspirations, honest errors, imprecisions, and misstatements about trivial matters to be lies.
Washington ComPost is incapable of telling the truth!
So you post a Washington post piece as reviewed by CNN?
Its like you expected a different outcome?
Joseph Goebbles would have given you a more honest review of Trumps veracity.
Until the world smartens up and starts lumping them with supermarket tabloids, we have no hope.
WAPO is stuck on stupid.
Beware!!!
No theyre not stupid. They are stuck on Marxist propaganda. They Know the truth. Theyre trying to convince you otherwise
