We've been comparing Biden (67 false or misleading claims) to Trump's first 100 days (511 claims.) But past is no prologue. In the last 100 days before the 2020 election, we counted 8,859 claims made by Trump. It was a wild ride.
Here's the Biden database -- which we do not plan to extend beyond 100 days. I have learned my lesson. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/biden-fact-checker-100-days/
“Learned my lesson” means that who knows what the next four years will bring. We have fact-checked Biden rigorously and will continue to do so. Trump at 500 claims/100 days was manageable; 8,000+ was not.
If you have not read the fact checks we have done in the first 100 days, this is good review. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/04/16/has_the_washington_post_fact-checker_held_biden_accountable_145595.amp.html
And if you think we missed something in our database of the first 100 days, send me a note and I will consider it. What we produced is more comprehensive than anything else out there.
Maintaining the Trump database over four years required about 400 additional 8-hour days over four years beyond our regular jobs for three people. Biden is off to a relatively slow start but who knows what will happen. We will keep doing fact checks, just not a database.
