President Trump has reportedly made more than 10,000 false or misleading claims

President Trump just hit a major milestone of his presidency.

The Washington Post is reporting that he has made more than 10,000 false or misleading claims since he took office...or 828 days.

He crossed the mark on April 26th, according to the Post...with his rallies before the midterm elections, the partial government shutdown and the release of the Mueller report listed as contributing factors.

The Post started the Fact Checker database during his first 100 days in office...during that time, he averaged about 5 misleading or false claims a day.

And during the first 601 days, he made it to 5,000, an average of 8 claims a day.

But 226 days later on April 26th, he made it to 10,000 which in the seven month period between the 5,000 marks and April 26th, he averaged 23 claims a day.

The Post also reports that Trump has earned 21...what they call…”bottomless Pinocchios” which means statements that have earned three or four Pinocchios and have been repeated at least 20 times.
