ADADThe final tally of Trump’s presidency: 30,573 false or misleading claims — with nearly half coming in his final year. Then, in response to reader requests, the Trump database was maintained for four years, despite the increasing burden of keeping it up. Trump averaged about six claims a day in his first year as president, 16 claims day in his second year, 22 claims day in his third year — and 39 claims a day in his final year. Nearly half of the false claims were communicated at his campaign rallies or via his now-suspended Twitter account. But even so, he made nearly 4,000 false or misleading claims that month, an average of 150 a day on the days he was not ill.
