*WASHINGTON – President Trump has made more than 5,000 false or misleadingclaims, according to the Washington Post report quoting The Fact Checker’sdatabase that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statementuttered by the president.*

The report highlights a recent instance when President Trump had a busy dayon Sep 7 and he spoke to reporters on Air Force One, held a pair offundraisers and was interviewed by three local reporters.

In that single day, he publicly made 125 false or misleading statements —in a period of time that totaled only about 120 minutes. It was a newsingle-day high.

The day before, the president made 74 false or misleading claims, many at acampaign rally in Montana. An anonymous op-ed article by a senioradministration official had just been published in the New York Times, andnews circulated about journalist Bob Woodward’s insider account of Trump’spresidency.

Trump’s tsunami of untruths helped push the count in The Fact Checker’sdatabase past 5,000 on the 601st day of his presidency. That’s an averageof 8.3 Trumpian claims a day, but in the past nine days, the president hasaveraged 32 claims a day.

According to the Post, the project was first started for president’s first100 days, and it was found that he averaged 4.9 claims a day. He passed the2,000 mark on Jan. 10 — eight months ago.

Fittingly, the 5,000th claim was a tweet about the investigation led byspecial counsel Robert S. Mueller III: “Russian ‘collusion’ was just anexcuse by the Democrats for having lost the Election!”
