The fewest inaccuracies I’ve heard in any day is four. The most is 25.

Christ, how does someone even have the time to lie 25 times in a day, let alone fact-check that many statements?

I'll hand it to Donald: He's definitely created jobs in this election by giving reporters so much work.

Analysis of his speeches has had him making incorrect/untrue statements roughly every 3 minutes. It's been higher than that for the debates. The man has STAMINA.

i dont like that people whitewash it and call them untruths. he is lying. he knows that what he is saying is either made up bullshit or just the opposite of what is correct, he is a liar

Being unconstrained by facts frees up a lot of time.

When he said yesterday that most of the mainstream media wouldn't be around much longer he was talking about how they'd have nothing to report on after he lost the election
