Ding, ding, ding - in just under a year Donald Trump has managed to tell over 2,000 false or misleading claims to the American people.
You know how the Trumpster loves to hear he's broken records ;)
The Washington Post has been tracking his progress from Day One in the White House:
With just 10 days before he finishes his first year as president, Trump has made 2,001 false or misleading claims in 355 days, according to our database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president. That’s an average of more than 5.6 claims a day.
When we started this project, originally aimed at the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. At that pace, it appeared unlikely the president would break 2,000 in a year. But the longer the president has been in the job, the more frequently he touts an assortment of exaggerated, dubious or false claims. (Our full interactive graphic can be found here.)
As regular readers know, the president has a tendency to repeat himself — often. There are now nearly 70 claims that he has repeated three or more times.

Much more at the WaPo.
