Washington Post: An address to Congress is such an important speech that presidents generally are careful not to stretch the truth. The 16 words in George W. Bushs 2003 State of the Union address that falsely claimed Iraqs Saddam Hussein sought uranium from Africa led to significant turmoil in the administration, including the criminal conviction of a top aide.
President Trumps maiden address to Congress was notable because it was filled with numerous inaccuracies. In fact, many of the presidents false claims are old favorites that he trots out on a regular, almost daily basis.
Politifact: Beyond his soaring rhetoric were some exaggerations or misleading statements about the health of the Affordable Care Act, the cost of illegal immigration and the state of the economy. He also got a number of statistical claims correct, though he sometimes seemed to claim more credit than may be justified.
