Trump does not even come close to the record for the longest delay before having a full cabinet in place. Barack Obama didn’t have his final cabinet member confirmed until April 28, 2009, 99 days into his presidency. During Bill Clinton’s presidency, Janet Reno wasn’t confirmed as attorney general until March 11. In 1989, George H.W. Bush had four cabinet nominees who weren’t confirmed until March. Trump wasn’t even a full 19 days into his presidency when he posted this tweet.

“Thank you to Prime Minister [Turnbull] of Australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation that FAKE NEWS media lied about.”

Truth:

The media did not lie about their phone call, which was not civil. A senior Trump official acknowledged to the Washington Post that it had been “hostile and charged,” and prominent news outlets in both countries reported that Trump had berated Malcolm Turnbull. Turnbull denied that Trump had “hung up” on him, but he did not deny that the call had ended abruptly after 25 minutes, as the Post reported.

Claim:

“My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.”

Truth:

Trump is wrong that Obama “banned” Iraqi refugees. After two Iraqi refugees were arrested on terrorism charges, Obama increased scrutiny of new refugee applicants, slowing down the process significantly, but did not ban Iraqis entirely or ban all new refugees. Iraqi refugees were admitted to the U.S. in every month of 2011, government figures show, and 9,388 were admitted in total in 2011.

Truth:

Trump was not in Scotland the day before the Brexit vote. He was there the day after. When he was asked about Brexit the day before the vote, he told Fox Business, “I don’t think anybody should listen to me because I haven’t really focused on it very much.” He did not venture a prediction that day

Truth:

Even if millions of illegals would have voted, it would be impossible for Trump to know that not a single one voted for him, since the ballot is secret. This claim is simply absurd.
