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.

But he hugged the flag! MAGA!

I can't imagine what possessed him into thinking that hugging the American flag was a good idea for a photo-op for him. He really does look foolish hugging the flag and smirking like he did in the photo.

Hugo Chavez, former president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, also hugs flags! He was infamously corrupt but whatever, if you hug your flag then that means you really sincerely love your country, deep down in your heart & are the mostest patriotic of all no matter how unpatriotic & damaging your actions. /s

He was hamming it up for the crowd that almost loves the flag as much as it loves him.

Of course the insinuation that he loved the flag was bogus. He doesn't love anyone more than himself.

He knows his base. Cornball antics won't sway them a bit. The more over the top, the better . Subtlety is not their thing.

this reminds me of his state of the union speach where I was like, "Man I like alot of what he's saying, and agree with it....now to wait to see how much he's lying, excagerating, taking out of context, or quote mining.

That's just the thing, if you don't care about facts, Trump genuinely is appealing.

We live in a world where a sizable percentage of the population takes conspiracy theories and the most half-baked ideas seriously. And this isn't even a left or right issue, necessarily- alot of Americans, some of them the most educated, are not vaccinating their kids, for instance.

yeah, like one video I saw of someone acusing liberals of loving sex trafficing because trump claimed to be stopping it....something that wouldn't fall under his jurisdiction and is the kind of thing of, I will wait and see the evidence." because the woman in white didn't stand in ovation at that.

it's like his talks on the border, if he was telling the truth about the sex and drug problems there then YEAH I might agree with him, but most of it is fake, made up, out of context *pointing to how many deaths ignoring most of those deaths come from drugs across legal points of entry or made IN the us." to be made to sound worse then they are.

at this point if trump told me the sky is blue I would have to wait for the ny york times fact check on that.

I don’t care that my job was outsourced to the Philippines because of him.

I don’t care that my retirement pay was held hostage during his government shutdown.

What I do care about is him hugging the flag and signing bibles. USA! USA! USA!
