The New York Times @nytimes, Feb. 25, 2026: “Fact-Checking Trump’s State of the Union Speech” https://nytimes.com/live/2026/02/25/us/fact-check-state-of-the-union-trump
A look at Trump’s lies and false and misleading claims.
45th President of the United States, from 2017 to 2021: 30,573 lies, an average of about 21 per day.
47th President of the United States: Applying the first-term daily average to the 337 days from January 20 to December 22, 2025, yields an approximate total of around 7,050 false or misleading claims during this period.
Various outlets have tracked and debunked claims in specific periods or events during second presidency of Donald Trump. These partial tallies suggest a pattern similar to his first term, with frequent inaccuracies, lies and manipulations on topics like the economy, business, tariffs, social security, health care, health insurance, medicaid, medicare, ACA, ObamaCare, TrumpCare, drug prices, immigration, elections, crime, corruption, Epstein Files or EpsteinGate, RussiaGate, Putin, Russia, Ukraine, China, Iran, his health and mental state, and foreign policy. If the average daily rate from his first term held steady, an rough estimate for the ~402 days into the second term would be around 8,400 false or misleading claims. Fact-checkers continue to monitor statements in real time, and a more complete count may emerge later in the term.
