“According to The Washington Post — which has been keeping track, I guess — yesterday Trump told his 2,000th lie since taking office. So happy Lie2K, everybody. Two thousand lies in 11 months. He’s averaging 5.6 false claims a day, which is impressive, considering the fact he’s only working about 2.6 hours a day.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
