You do realize he operating off the budget from the Obama admin, right?

Also, this was covered yesterday. The stat is absolutely meaningless. Obama "reduced the debt by billionions" also many, many times by that metric. It's worthless.

You're missing the point. Politifact isnt supposed to be rating context.

To take a 100% trust statement but then rate it "mostly false" doesn't help their credibility.

Oh? You know you should probably check before you throw something like that out, because some a-hole who likes numbers is going to check.

Just to make you look like a moron, cause that's fun.

Many, many billions. I'll make that 10. Double digits is many right?

Times during Barrack Hussein Obama's reign it that happened.

2009 - 0
2010 - 0
2011 - 0
2012 - 0

Through his first term, 0 times "many, many billions" Couple small ones, 1 less than a billion, one 2 billion on the other. On to his 2nd term.

2013 -1
Here we go, April was 44 billion. Only took 4 years and change. It was the only one.
2014 - 2, 27 and 46
2015 - 0
2016 - 1, 21

A few small ones less than a billion scattered through that, but your many times, many billions falls way short. 4 out of 96, that's a pretty shitty average. But what do you expect from a guy who presided over a 9 trillion and change addition?

That makes it false? Fact checkers check facts, not worthiness of a statement.

Bottom line:

-Trump says the debt dropped $12 million in his 1st month

-It actually dropped that much in his first month

-Politifact acknowledges it is a factually accurate statement

-Politifact rates the factually accurate statement as "mostly false"

a want and Gkillerface defend Politifact, hilarity ensues
