"SNIP........
WASHINGTONU.S. President Donald Trump has never gone a full week without a false claim, but some weeks are worse than others.
The past week was his worst yet. From last Thursday, the six-month anniversary of his presidency, to this Wednesday, he made 33 false claims. Thats about five every day. Starting Saturday, when this barrage really began, its about seven per day.
Trump made the false claims in every possible venue: an interview with the Wall Street Journal (11 false claims) to a campaign rally in Ohio (five false claims) to a speech to the National Boy Scout Jamboree (four false claims).
Over six months in office, Trump has proven uniquely willing to lie, exaggerate and mislead. By all expert accounts, he is more frequently inaccurate than any of his predecessors.
