Example of Fake News

Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims since he became president, 588 days ago. Due to summer vacation schedules, The Washington Post had fallen a month behind in updating its Fact Checker’s database that analyses, categorises and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the American president.

It turns out that this was when the president decided to turn on the spigots of false and misleading claims. As of day 558, he has made 4,229 Trumpian claims – an increase of 978 in just two months. That is an overall average of nearly 7.6 claims a day.
