President Trump is making false claims at such a rate that fact checkers are having a hard time keeping up. Former Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. has undergone treatment for cancer. The LDS Church-owned Deseret News editorializes against Prop 2.
Happy Friday. President Trump has really stepped up his game — in making false or misleading claims. In the first nine months of his unorthodox presidency, the former reality TV celebrity and real-estate tycoon made 1,318 such statements, or about five a day, according the Washington Post Fact Checker. But in just seven weeks leading up to the midterm election, he has racked up1,419 false or misleading claims, or just short of 10 per day.
