Trump’s more than 2000 lies
This one has a filter and everything where you can sort and search the lies by topic, source, etc.



Dude, I just read through about 15 of these, and they are so petty it's ridiculous.

For instance the favorable ratings, when Trump had a higher approval rate at the paralleled time of Obama, it goes off of the favorability rating (unfavorable minus favorable), rather than just the approval numbers. All this shows is that republicans aren't sky screamers.

The wording of the "lies" are plays on words or him getting a percentage wrong by a couple tenths here and there. Again, petty.

Prime Example:

quote:

"We have ended the war on clean coal."


in fact: The phrase "clean coal" is inaccurate in itself. Even if one believes that "clean coal" exists, tough the term is a creation of industry spin, it is not meant to be applied to the entire U.S. coal industry, which is how Trump uses it. The phrase, the New York Times reported, "is often understood to mean coal plants that capture the carbon dioxide emitted from smokestacks and bury it underground as a way of limiting global warming."


Semantics about the term "Clean Coal" which they then go on to define at the end of the "Fact check"
