WASHINGTON—Two weeks ago, U.S. President Donald Trump was much more honest than usual. He made a mere 10 false claims, about half of his usual weekly average.

As always, it didn’t last. Trump made 30 false claims last week, including 21 during an especially freewheeling 46-minute Missouri speech about his proposed tax legislation.

In total, Trump has now made 907 false claims over his first 318 days in office — an average of 2.9 false claims per day.

Trump has proven uniquely willing to lie, exaggerate and mislead. By all expert accounts, he is more frequently inaccurate than any of his predecessors.

We are keeping track. Below is a list of every false claim Trump has made since his inauguration on Jan. 20.

Why call them false claims, not lies? We can’t be sure that each and every one was intentional; in some cases, he may have been confused or ignorant. What we know, objectively, is that he was not telling the truth.
