30,573 occurrence-level falsehoods in the first term; the second term has only a 100-claim sample, not a count

Asked:

“track and contrast all verifiable lies told by trump”

No source can establish “all lies”: records are incomplete and “lie” requires proving intent, so this report tracks verified false or misleading claims. It contrasts the one completed systematic count — The Washington Post Fact Checker’s 30,573 false or misleading claim occurrences over Trump’s first term (Jan 20, 2017 – Jan 20, 2021, about 21 per day) — with CNN’s catalog of 100 separate false claims from the first 100 days of the second term, reproduced in full below. CNN says its list is explicitly not comprehensive and does not count repeats; no comprehensive second-term database existed as of Sep 10, 2026. The claim catalog is single-sourced to one CNN compilation page, which links its underlying evidence.

Two efforts that cannot share an axis

Occurrence-level tracking vs a selected unique-claim catalog — different units, different coverage. Hover a lane or a dot for detail.

The Post’s database counts a repeated falsehood again in each new venue, but only once per venue, and includes any statement meriting at least two Pinocchios — an occurrence count, not unique claims. washingtonpost.com

CNN’s 100-item list covers Jan 20 – late Apr 2025, states there were “well over 100” separate false claims, and does not count the many repetitions — so 100 is a floor, not a total. cnn.com

The Post’s own first-100-days count in 2017 was 492 claims — under occurrence rules that count repeats again — nearly five times CNN’s 2025 sample of unique claims. washingtonpost.com

New York Times and NPR figures of 30,573 or “30,000” restate the Post’s database; they corroborate but are not independent counts. nytimes.com

Every count found, with its method

13 published figures across independent hosts. Restatements and approximate or page-level archive counts are labeled; only the Post database and the CNN catalog are primary systematic efforts.

Method: two result sets researched from live web material on 2026-09-10. (1) A full reproduction of CNN’s compilation of 100 separate false claims from Donald Trump’s first 100 days of his second term (2025-01-20 to ~2025-04-29), single-sourced to one CNN page that links underlying fact checks; each row carries claim, date and context where stated, correction, and source URL. (2) 13 rows comparing published falsehood counts and methodologies across hosts; a claim counts as one occurrence per venue in the Post database and as one unique claim in the CNN catalog, so the totals are not comparable. Coverage is incomplete for the second term and excludes private statements, unrecorded remarks, opinions, predictions, and claims whose falsity cannot be established; intent is not attributed. Five broad themes were assigned editorially from CNN’s 79 fine-grained topics for filtering; evidence excerpts were cut for space.
