It turns out that’s when the president decided to turn on the spigots of false and misleading claims. Put another way: In his first year as president, Trump made 2,140 false or misleading claims. On July 5, the president reached a new daily high of 79 false and misleading claims. Just on trade, the president has made 432 false or misleading claims. Not surprisingly, immigration is the top single source of Trump’s misleading claims, now totaling 538.
