60 false claims in 2 hours: Trump’s CPAC speech was by far his most-dishonest single event as president
Donald Trump made 60 false claims in his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, shattering his old record for false claims in a single speech.
At 2 hours and 2 minutes, Trump’s speech to CPAC was also by far the longest of his presidency. If you’re counting false claims per minute, Star editor Ed Tubb notes, Trump made almost an identical amount to CPAC, 0.49 per minute, as he did in the Pennsylvania rally speech in August at which he set his old record of 36, 0.46 per minute.
Trump is now up to 4,557 false claims for the first 773 days of his presidency, an average of 5.9 per day.
