Washington Post Analysis Finds Trump Averaged 15 False Claims a Day in 2018

[left-of-center2012]

When 2018 began, the president had made 1,989 false and misleading claims (since inauguration), according to The Fact Checker’s database, which tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.
By the end of the year, Trump had accumulated more than 7,600 untruths during his presidency — averaging more than 15 erroneous claims a day during 2018, almost triple the rate from the year before.

Over a couple of hours on Jan. 2, 2018, Trump ... took credit for the “best and safest year on record” for commercial aviation, even though there had been no commercial plane crashes in the United States since 2009 and, in any case, the president has little to do with ensuring the safety of commercial aviation.

Fewer than 3 in 10 Americans believe many of his most-common false statements, according to a Fact Checker poll conducted this month. Only among a pool of strong Trump approvers — about 1 in 6 adults in the survey — did large majorities accept several, though not all, of his falsehoods as true.
