The numbers are astonishing.

In the first eight months of his presidency, President Trump made 1,137 false or misleading claims, an average of five a day. In October, as he barnstormed the country holding rallies in advance of the midterm elections, the president made 1,205 claims — an average of 39 a day.

Combined with the rest of his presidency, that adds up to a total of 7,546 claims through Dec. 20, the 700th day of his term in office, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.

Trump is just trying to keep up with CNN.
 
Once, about fifty years ago, I was watching a talking head... I got a sick feeling, similar to when reading the Los Angeles Times. I knew from looking around my High School that there were a lot of underdeveloped minds that thought they were worth a lot. The talking heads and journalists seemed like that. I decided to never watch or read that shit. I've missed nothing...
