Washington Post fact-checker says Trump has 'now hit 10,000' lies as president
Kessler noted that Trump's rate of saying false or misleading statements have picked up recently, alleging the president had made 171 such statements in the previous three days.
Kessler alleges Trump made 45 false claims Thursday during an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity and another 61 false claims during a campaign rally in Wisconsin Saturday that Trump attended instead of the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.
Kessler also noted that Trump has some false claims he repeats more than others, notably that the wall is being built along the U.S.-Mexico border and that he passed the biggest tax cut in the history of America.
Post implemented the "Bottomless Pinocchio," an acknowledgment that four Pinocchios was sometimes not enough, saying the new rating was inspired by Trump's repeating false claims.
.....
Wow!
Trump’s lies reach levels never seen before in American history. An entirely new standard had to be created to rate trumps lies. In a way this is pretty amazing. First, just because of the sheer number of falsehoods he tells and second that he can get people still believing all his lies. We know he’s a liar for years now and still Republicans completely follow him. That has to be the sign of a cult? Where else could it be?
