Spot check the Post's database of 30,573 lies. It's a joke.

*This very sentence, if uttered by Trump, would be entered in their database: a joke is an amusing action or story with a punchline; our database is an objective list of lies.

Can you share some examples?

Here's an easy one I just picked from their list:

Trump: "We just got seventy five million votes. And that's a record in the history of in the history of sitting presidents."

WaPo: "When the counting was finished, Trump had received 74 million votes, not 75 million as he often claims" and then a bunch of irrelevant crap about how Biden got more, and how a record number of people voted in 2020.

Discounting 75 vs 74 million, Trump did get more votes than any sitting President in history. That is a fact, not a lie.

Spot-checking works best if we remotely agreed on a random number, but here's one a just looked in on.

Trump claim: “Every week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90% of which floods across from our southern border.”

WaPo's own "factcheck", ironically, confirms what he said was true.

Most of the entries in the database are things like "we have the greatest economy in history" and other such vague puffery. And if Trump repeats it 100 times, it counts as 100 lies.

Can you share a few examples out of the 30,000 entries that you consider actual lies? (not mere puffery, not trivial errors, not simple difference of opinion)

Something substantive and fairly verifiable as false, along the lines of Biden's claim that he earned three degrees, or that he got arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela, or that he marched in the civil rights movement, or that his son died in Iraq, or that he finished the top half of his law school class.
