- "Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting." (Trump tweet)
- "The failing @nytimes writes total fiction concerning me. They have gotten it wrong for two years, and now are making up stories & sources!" (Trump tweet)
- Said that the media is not reporting all the terrorist attacks. "ISIS is on a campaign of genocide, committing atrocities across the world. Radical Islamic terrorists are determined to strike our homeland, as they did on 9/11, as they did from Boston to Orlando to San Bernardino and all across Europe.
You've seen what happened in Paris and Nice. All over Europe it's happening. It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. They have their reasons and you understand that." (Trump's CENCOM speech)- "The failing @nytimes was forced to apologize to its subscribers for the poor reporting it did on my election win. Now they are worse!" (Trump tweet) The Times did not apologize. (PolitiFact)
- Trump and others claimed that the bad people are pouring into the country because of a block on his immigration ban. In fact, the rules for entry into the United States are exactly the same as they were the day before the executive order. Those entering the country were vetted and approved.
- During the Super Bowl Sunday interview with Bill O'Reilly, Trump reiterated his belief that three to five million illegal votes were cast on election day. Still no evidence brought forward.
- Trump stated in a meeting with sheriffs that "the murder rate in our country is the highest it's been in 47 years". He also said the press doesn't report it. Actually, the murder rate is very near it's lowest level.
HOMICIDE RATE PER 100,000 POPULATION
- During the O'Reilly Factor interview, Trump stated that Obama liked him. How does he know? Because he can feel it. Proof.
- "It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country. Obstruction by Democrats!" (Trump tweet) Not even close to the longest ever delay.
- "While on FAKE NEWS @CNN, Bernie Sanders was cut off for using the term fake news to describe the network. They said technical difficulties!" (Trump tweet) Here is the real story from PolitiFact.
Perhaps not officially a false statement but certainly inappropriate for a president:
- "My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!" (POTUS retweet)
- Amazingly, any poll that he disagrees with is fake news. Yet, he constantly refers to polls he agrees with. Can't have it both ways, Donny.
I'm sure I missed some gaffs or other outright lies. Trump says so much BS that it is hard to keep up. What will this week bring us?
