President Trump again falsely claims he's signed more bills than any president

WASHINGTON_After another morning at his Florida golf club, President Donald Trump visited firefighters and paramedics at a West Palm Beach firehouse and praised his own performance as president, including a false boast.

Trump touted his administration's work to roll back government regulations and cut taxes and claimed credit for the stock market hitting record highs. He also said he's signed more bills into law than any other president, which isn't true.

"We have signed more legislation than anybody," Trump said, standing in front of a rescue vehicle inside the fire station.

"We have more legislation passed, including _ the record was Harry Truman a long time ago, and we broke that record, so we got a lot done," Trump said.

An analysis by GovTrack, a web site that tracks bills in Congress, shows that Trump has signed the fewest bills into law at this point than any president in more than 60 years, back to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
