He’s not a lawyer or a diplomat. He just speaks roughly without precision, but the ordinary person understands perfectly what he is trying to say. I doubt there are any deliberate falsehoods on their list if looked at that way.

The problem with the WaPo is they count one specific thing he says as ONE lie. And then when he repeats the same thing 10 times, they consider it 10 lies.
Take ‘This is the greatest economy ever’. You can dispute that statement and point to other times in the past when the GDP was much higher than today’s and then call Trump’s statement a “lie”. For me, the worst you can call it is an exaggeration. If he repeats it 10 times, then the waPo, on that basis, calls it 10 lies.
With this way of looking at things, which modern politician has not lied 10,000 times ( if they bothered to trail that person and count )?
