Trump with this flat-out lie about his campaign's internal polling: "We are winning in every single state that we've polled."

In Iowa this week, Trump told a story about how homebuilders, farmers and ranchers were crying as they stood behind him when he signed his executive order on the Waters of the United States rule.

He signed the order on camera. Nobody cried at any point. https://t.co/Ku7uCiVJpi pic.twitter.com/MLCMV0DSdI

Trump falsely claimed again yesterday that "our remains are coming back" and "we're getting the remains back" from North Korea. The military announced in May that the effort has been suspended for this fiscal year because North Korea stopped communicating after the failed summit. pic.twitter.com/ugRrOaMl8L

Trump’s secret agreement with Mexico may be a blank sheet of paper

There is no additional deal according to Mexico. I believe Mexican officials instead of the liar in the White House.

POTUS holds up what appears to be a blank piece of paper claiming it contains the Mexican deal. Refuses to answer when I ask him to show us. ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ pic.twitter.com/m8sgJer9Uq

Mexico's foreign minister said explicitly Monday that nothing else has been agreed to.

This is actually a pretty big deal. This isn't just the usual vague bluster. Trump is now making the concrete threat to hit Mexico with tariffs if Mexico does not soon formally act on the secret provisions they supposedly agreed to. https://t.co/Yw0NZMXRyB

Trump has told almost 11,000 lies (or false statements as the Washington Post calls them)

They are lies. He does this deliberately and knows that many people will either accept them or not call them lies.

Trump lies about NATO

It appears that Trump made up a quote from the head of NATO saying there wouldn’t be NATO without Trump. Trump takes advantage of the situation. NATO would not want to antagonize him since the US is its biggest contributor. Thus, Trump knows he can lie and get away with it. Sad!

Stoltenberg has regularly credited Trump for his part in pressing NATO members to spend more on defense, but he’s never said anything to suggest NATO wouldn’t exist without Trump. Statement from NATO official: pic.twitter.com/nHTIkcYg6A

Trump said the head of NATO credited him with possibly saving NATO.

I know this will come as a shock, but this doesn't appear to have happened.https://t.co/X2k2QVZCXp

Daniel Dale’s count of Trump’s false claims (which I call lies)

I think Trump lies deliberately every time. He has access to the facts. He chooses to ignore them. The volume of lies has increased as Trump realizes there are no repercussions. People like me can’t hate him more and his cult believe him. More lies don’t change anything. More media outlets are finally calling Trump’s false statements lies. They should have started doing this in 2015 (or even earlier).

Daniel Dale has done a great job for the Toronto Star and will soon join CNN.
