    Donald Trump has been president for all or part of 33 days. He has averaged four falsehoods or misleading statements a day(!) in that time. There hasn't been a single day of Trump's presidency in which he has said nothing false or misleading.

    That data, which comes from a terrific new project from The Post's Fact Checker that seeks to document Trump's statements in the first 100 days of his presidency, is stunning. This chart, in particular, stood out to me:

    On Trump's first day in office, he made seven (or more!) misleading claims. That was one of four days in which he has made seven-plus false or misleading claims; that's roughly 12 percent of all the days he has spent in the White House. In fact, there are more days (18) when Trump has made four or more misleading/false claims than days (15) when he has made one or two.

    IF God fact checked all of us, how would we do? If God based it upon the amount of grace that you give Trump, how would you do?

    so are we absolving the POTUS of any truth telling, or are you saying that because of his high exalted rank, that he can lie with impunity?

    Did we absolve other Presidents when they didn't speak truth?

    Understand, I didn't vote for Trump. I don't agree with his actions. But also note that as racist as the right was toward Obama, the left is as bigoted toward Trump. I find both extremes useless to society.

    Fake News Fake News Fake News

    I almost puked that was so bad. You can look up half of what was in there and see Trump told the truth.

    Where were all these fact checkers when OBAMA was in office?

    Please document that charge. And please don't come up with "Obama and his supporters said so."

    All you had to do was be on facebook and see the deplorable pictures being shared by right wing people who hated Obama. The caricatures were awful.

    All you have to do is go back through the hundreds, yea, thousands of Obama posts here by various individuals on this BB to see the racist hatred of Obama.

    Menno is correct. Just look at the cariacturies posted by the right wing.

    All you have to do is read the writings of the pedophile defending Breitbart News writer to see the racist hatred.

    You guys on the left see race everywhere and I'm sick of it. Anyone want to know how I can tell someone I meet is a liberal without politics even coming up or being spoken of?

    You have no idea what you are talking about. We might all dislike milo for what he stands for but you need to listing to the original tapes of what he says. Spoiler, it's not that bad as he talks about his abuse.

    Christian Conservatives would get very upset at President Obama policies/agendas, but would then get tagged as being racists!

    There's some sense in this thread. Maybe trump is just too honest to be president.

    Rumor has it that he and his wife (sometimes known as Michael) have separated and headed for divorce.

    That is his skin tone, isn't it? And it IS apparent that he has been a Muslim for ages. What's the big deal ? The beard?
