The 3 False Claims Trump Repeats Most

Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler analyzed President Trump’s voluminous record of false claims to determine which specific issues crop up most frequently. The top three have a strong fiscal or economic component and are part of an elite group Kessler describes as “Bottomless Pinocchios” — a “dubious distinction” that “will be awarded to politicians who repeat a false claim so many times that they are, in effect, engaging in campaigns of disinformation,” Kessler wrote Monday.

The three top false claims repeated by Trump are:

1. The tax cuts pushed through Congress last year are the biggest in history.

2. A trade deficit means the U.S. is “losing” money.

3. The U.S. economy is currently the strongest it’s ever been.
