In the 31 days leading up to the midterm elections on Nov. 6, Trump went on a lying spree like we have never seen before even from him. It was a pathological barrage of serial lies in which he obliterated all of his old records.
Trump told 664 lies in October. That was double his previous record for a calendar month, 320 in August.
Trump averaged 26.3 lies per day in the month leading up to the midterm on Nov. 6. In 2017, he averaged 2.9 per day.
Trump told more lies in the two months leading up to the midterms (1,176), than he did in all of 2017 (1,011).
The three most dishonest single days of Trump’s presidency were the three days leading up to the midterms: 74 on election eve, Nov. 5; 58 on Nov. 3; 54 on Nov. 4.
Trump is now up to 3,749 false claims for the first 661 days of his presidency, an average of 4.4 per day.
Trump’s pre-midterm barrage, Oct. 5 to Nov. 5
NOV 5, 2018
Trump lie: “And we gave our great warriors their largest pay raise in more than a decade.”
in fact: The military pay increase in the 2019 defense bill, 2.6 per cent, is the largest in nine years, since the 3.4 per cent increase under Obama in 2010. Claiming that it was the largest in more than a decade is a blatant lie.
Trump lie: “And there's more coming. We passed Veterans Choice, giving our veterans the right to see a private doctor rather than waiting on line for weeks and months to see a doctor. Forty-four years, they tried to pass that. And I came up with that idea, and I thought it was brilliant. I went back to my people and I said, you know what we'll do? There's no way there are so many people in line, takes months and months. I said, you know what we're going to do? We're going to have those people get off line, go outside, see a doctor. And we'll pay for the doctor. I said, ‘I'm so smart. I am the most brilliant human being that has ever lived.’ 😂😄😂
in fact: The Veterans Choice health program was passed and created in 2014 under Obama. The law Trump signed in 2018, the VA MISSION Act, simply modified the program.

Clinton and Obama never insulted our veterans, our PoWs, and they never insulted Gold Star family members. Obama visited our troops in Iraq as a Senator in 2007. He then visited our Troops in Afghanistan as Commander in chief just 3 months after Taking office. He went on to visit our troops 4 times as president. Trump has been in office 2 years, and hasn't visited our troops once. Trump flew to Saudi Arabia, and did the sword dance during his 1st trip abroad as president, and yet he didn't take the time to visit our troops right next door in Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, or Jordan. Last but not least, Obama never insulted our military and generals, by claiming to know more about fighting wars, and fighting ISIS than they do.
