Mini-Post: Liar-In-Chief

There is no doubt about it! I asked ChatGPT...

Has any other president been fact‑checked more than Trump?
In short: No. Trump has faced an unprecedented level of fact‑checking:
  • The Washington Post recorded 30,573 false or misleading claims during his presidency—averaging about 21 per day
  • PolitiFact alone has issued over 1,000 fact-checks on Trump—their most-checked politician ever. For comparison, Obama had 603, Hillary Clinton 301, and Biden just 286
  • Numerous outlets—including FactCheck.org, The Post, Toronto Star, and New York Times—have described Trump as the most fact‑challenged president in modern U.S. history 
So, to answer your question: No other president comes close. Trump has been fact‑checked more, lied more frequently, and had more of his claims thoroughly debunked than any of his predecessors.
But still the MAGA worships at his feet.

President Donald Trump on Friday made a wild new claim about wind power as he renewed his attacks on renewable energy. 

Trump complained that many of the components used in wind turbines are made in China, then suggested that China itself doesn’t actually use wind turbines. 

“I have never seen a wind farm in China,” Trump declared. “Why is that? Somebody check that out.”

Since Trump said “somebody check that out” when railing against wind power, many people did exactly that ― and gave the president a fact-check:
Trump is the Liar-In-Chief and lies even when he doesn't have to. How can you trust a president who tells groups what they want to here and then he goes to another rally and tells them the exact opposite.
