According to The Washington Post’s Fact Checker as reported by the HuffPost dated 17.12.2019 :

« Trump as of Dec. 10 had told 15,413 untruths during his presidency – an average of 14.6 lies per day for each of his 1,055 days in office.

He made 1,999 false claims in 2017 and 5,689 in 2018 – a total of 7,688. He’s ramped up the untruths in 2019, hitting 7,725 falsehoods with three weeks still to go in the year.

PolitiFact has bestowed on him its “Lie of the year” award for the third time. »

However, as Trump’s total number of lies of 15,413 (according to The Washington Post) was as at 10 December 2019, obviously, it does not include any lies or “fake news” contained in his six-page letter to Nancy Pelosi dated 17 December 2019.

That, plus whatever else he contrives, should probably bring the grand total up to about 15,500 as at the end of 2019.

He shouldn’t be too far off the 25,000 mark by election time in November 2020.

Unfortunately, it’s not a joke. Nor is it just a terrible disgrace, it’s far worse than that. It’s creating a sentiment of uncertainty and insecurity, not only in the United States, but throughout the whole world.

The current President of the United States is unpredictable, unreliable and untrustworthy. As a banker would put it : “his word and his signature are of no value”. Kim Jong-un knows that. The signatories of the Paris Climate Agreement know that. Vladimir Putin knows that. Iran knows that. The Kurds know that ...

We in Australia had better wake up to it too – before it is too late !

"Trump as of Dec. 10 had told 15,413 untruths during his presidency"

That's a lie

'"Trump as of Dec. 10 had told 15,413 untruths during his presidency"'

and then we have Pelosi, Ford, Biden, Clinton, Smollet, Cortez, Mueller and the lying liberal media. He has a long way to go to catch the democrats/swamp.
