Total number of false statements (as per Washington Post Fact Checker) made by Donald Trump on or before November 3rd, 2020
Over 22,500 -115
Under 22,500 -115
“It’s a high number, as it took 828 days for President Trump to get to 10,111 false statements,” said BookMaker Political oddsmaker, Rick Malone. “However there has been a dramatic increase in the number of false statements in the recent months.”
According to the Washington Post Trump has gone from an average of 8 false statements a day in his first 100 days to 23 falsehoods a day in the last 7 months.
“As the number of speeches and interviews has increased so has the overall number of false statements,” Malone said. “22,500 may be too high of a number, but as we head into the upcoming election, between political rallies and debates there should be ample opportunity for the President to shatter surpass this total. If anyone can do it, it’s President Trump.”
Huh, @bookmaker_eu now giving odds on number of false or misleading statements made by @realDonaldTrump by Election Day. Even odds for 22,500 gives me a headache. https://t.co/FOgbeBTQCo
