Trump Has Told Over 20,000 Lies While In Office. So Far.

“It took President Trump 827 days to top 10,000 false and misleading claims in The Fact Checker’s database, an average of 12 claims a day.

But on July 9, just 440 days later, the president crossed the 20,000 mark — an average of 23 claims a day over a 14-month period, which included the events leading up to Trump’s impeachment trial, the worldwide pandemic that crashed the economy and the eruption of protests over the death of George Floyd in police custody.”

— “President Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims,” Glenn Kessler, Salvador Rizzo, and Meg Kelly, Washington Post
