President Donald Trump is quick to use the term "fake news," but in reality a lot of what he himself says is as fake, misleading, and inaccurate as it comes. He even tried to claim he came up with the term (http://mashable.com/2017/10/26/donald-trump-fake-news-lou-dobbs/) "fake news." Add that to growing list of falsehoods.
The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/11/14/president-trump-has-made-1628-false-or-misleading-claims-over-298-days/?tid=sm_fb&utm_term=.22288efc376e)has been tracking Trump's lies since he was sworn into office earlier this year. That's 298 days of falsehoods — some small, others way bigger. The paper's total is at 1,628 lies, which breaks down to an average of 5.5 lies a day.*
Assuming that he continues to lie at the same pace, by the end of the year he should hit about 2,000 false statements. By the end of his first four-year term as president he can be forecast to lie about 8,000 times. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2017/11/14/trump-lies-falsehoods-washington-post-tracker/)
