According to one analyst, Donald Trump has averaged four falsehoods or misleading statements a day(!) in that time. There hasn't been a single day of Trump's presidency in which he has said nothing false or misleading.
From the essay:
I don't care what anyone else does or did. Trump is POTUS now. He's the one on whom we must rely; thus he's the one who needs to be 100% factually and contextually accurate and truthful, every effin' day! If not "erry-day," at least on nine of ever ten days People like you and I manage to go about our lives doing exactly that. Why can't Trump? Why is that man so mendacious?
From the essay:
“There’s never been a presidential candidate like Donald Trump — someone so cavalier about the facts and so unwilling to ever admit error, even in the face of overwhelming evidence,” WaPo lead fact-checker Glenn Kessler wrote during the heart of the 2016 campaign.
Substitute “presidential candidate” for “president” and Kessler's statement holds just as true for Trump's first month in office. All politicians stretch the truth to suit their political and policy purposes. None do so as often and as unapologetically as Trump has during his first 30-plus days in office.
