As the United States confronts a pandemic with little precedent, we are being guided by a president with a very well-documented problem with basic facts. President Trump has now made more than 18,000 false or misleading claims during his three-plus years in the White House, and his coronavirus commentary has followed suit. In a tweetstorm this weekend, for instance, Trump lodged at least eight easily disproved claims.

Because of this, one of his worst polling numbers has long been honesty and trustworthiness, and a recent poll is one of his worst on that measure. Just 31 percent in a new USA Today/Suffolk University survey said Trump is honest and trustworthy, while 64 percent disagreed. That’s a 2-to-1 ratio against the president’s character.

But that still leaves 3 in 10 Americans who believe the president is honest and trustworthy, despite all the fact-checking and patently false claims.
