Related: About this forumTrump: I dont like Pinocchios
President Donald Trump joked about being subjected to fact checks from the media during his a Made in America product showcase at the White House on Monday afternoon.
Weve signed more bills, and Im talking about through the legislature, than any president ever. For a while Harry Truman had us and now I think we have everybody. I better say think, otherwise theyll give me a Pinocchio. I dont like Pinocchios.
Trump was referring to the Washington Posts fact-checking column, which uses a scale of one to five Pinocchios to rate the truth of a statement. The publication gave Trump four Pinocchios earlier this year for claiming that no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days.
