I need your help. For posterity, I want to administer a running list of Trump's outright lies and false statements since his inauguration. But, it's getting overwhelming, I'm getting old, and I'm losing track. So...
What would help is, along with the accusation of the lie, a link to his tweet or report of what he has said. His surrogates qualify, as well. If he backtracks or corrects the record, I won't expunge it from the list but will notate. This will be a good opportunity for Trump supporters to dispute the facts, which should be a useful resource for everyone.
Important qualification to make the list, the Trump/surrogate claim must be falsifiable. In other words, there must be demonstrable evidence that the claim is obviously false.
Here is the list:
1. Inauguration Size
2. Voter fraud estimate
3. Kuwait enacts Trump-sequel ban on Muslims
4. As justification of Muslim ban EO, Conway twice references a Bowling Green Massacre that never happened
5. Claims that terrorist attacks not being reported (we all know why)
6. Murder rate highest in 45 years
7. Claims his Cabinet appointees have experienced longest delay for confirmation in "the history of our country"
8. Any negative polls (of Trump) are fabricated
9. I don't know Putin when he made it clear in 2013 that he does have a relationship with Putin
10. Obama gave Iran $150 billion for nothing
11. New York Times is failing
12. Nordstrom dropping Ivanka was a "direct attack on [Trump's] policies" when Nordstrom statement clearly articulates it was about performance
13. Claim that only 109 refugees were affected by the Muslim ban.
14. Saying Blumenthal misrepresented Gorsuch's comments when Gorsuch spokesman confirms what he said night before.
15. Trump makes claim that he appointed first woman as second in command for CIA
16. Chaos at airports caused by immigration ban was actually a glitch in Delta computers (that occurred a day later)
17. Cuban-Americans, I got 84% of,their vote (when in fact it was 54%)
18. The lie that General Flynn did not discuss with Russia the prospect of easing sanctions.
19. False claim that Bernie Sanders was cut off CNN for describing their network as fake news. (What Bernie did was criticize Trump For using term "fake news")
