Saturday marks Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, a benchmark used by previous presidents to tout their accomplishments.

In addition to measuring wins and losses, the first 100 days can also serve as indicator for how the White House will conduct itself with lawmakers, the press and the American public.

One of the most heavily discussed aspects of President Trump's governing style has been his relationship with the truth.

COLBERT: 'Donald Trump Has Done a Lot for Me in the First 100 Days'

As a candidate, fact-checking news site Politifact awarded Trump with the 2015 "lie of the year" for his campaign misstatements. By the end of 2015, Politifact had rated 76 percent of Trump's claims as mostly false, false or "pants on fire" — a term the news site uses for the most egregious of lies.

Today, that stigma continues to follow Trump. A Quinnipiac University poll released in late March found that 61 percent of Americans view Trump as dishonest.

Of course, lies come from both sides of the political aisle. In 2013, Politifact awarded the "lie of the year" to President Barrack Obama for promising Americans that "if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it."

Still, Trump's so-called "truth hyperboles" seem to occur more often. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Texas A&M political science professor said Trump "tells more untruths than any president in American history."

During Obama's first 30 days in office, Politifact rated one statement by the new president "false." In comparison, Trump's first 30 days received eight false ratings and one "pants on fire" rating.
