4 weeks, 80 false statements

https://www.thestar.com/amp/news/world/2017/02/03/daniel-dales-donald-trump-fact-check-updates.html

A small sampling from the link:

77.
. Feb. 16, 2017 — White House press conference

The claim: “Remember, I used to give you a news conference every time I made a speech, which was like every day. OK?”

In fact: This is not even close to true. Trump indeed gave near-daily speeches during the campaign, but he did not do a single news conference over the last three months of the campaign.
.....
65. Feb. 16, 2017-White House press conference

The claim: “Walmart announced it will create 10,000 jobs in the United States just this year because of our various plans and initiatives.”

In fact: The Walmart expansion plan that is creating the jobs was announced in October, before Trump was elected. The company did not reveal the precise 10,000 figure until after Trump took office, but it is directly connected to the previous announcement.

57. . Feb. 9, 2017 — Private meeting with senators about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch

The claim: “The president claimed that he and (Republican former senator Kelly) Ayotte both would have been victorious in the Granite State if not for the ‘thousands’ of people who were ‘brought in on buses’ from neighbouring Massachusetts to ‘illegally’ vote in New Hampshire.”

In fact: Such fraud did not happen.

Lying is criminal at this level.

Add in all his other nastiness and he is really dangerous.
