Nobody thought it was scientifically possible, but Donald Trump has managed to tell 10,000 lies, falsehoods and fibs since he took office in January 2017.

According to the Washington Post's presumably exhausted fact-checkers, Trump cruised past the 10k mark on 26 April, meaning he's lied an average of eight times a day over the last 827 days. After another very strange rally in Wisconsin, at which Trump did an unconvincing impression of King Salman of Saudi Arabia, another 61 unproven or false claims left the current count at 10,111.

You might recall that it was only last May that Trump passed 3,000 lies since his inauguration, and the Post notes that it only took him 601 days of his presidency to push past 5,000 lies. However, Trump really knuckled down and summoned up hitherto untapped reservoirs of misinformation to add another 5,000 lies in just 226 days. That's an average of 23 lies a day. That's publicly recorded lies. Presumably to stay match-fit Trump has to do some lying on his own time, just to keep his eye in. Then there are his on-the-hoof White House tours.

The first 100 days of Trump's presidency gave us an average of five lies a day, which would have totalled about 7,000 over the course of a four-year term. However, the midterms and the lead-up to and fall-out from the Mueller investigation gave Trump impetus to ramp up his lying both in speeches and interviews and on Twitter.

So what's he lying about? Usually that his fêted Mexican border wall is being built - it isn't, despite the 160 times he's claimed it is - and about a fifth of his lies in total are about immigration. You can dig deeper into Trump's lies with the Fact Checker's database here.
