President Trump made 8,158 false or misleading claims in his first two years in office, per the Washington Post's Fact Checker.

Why it matters: More than 6,000 of those were in his second year. The Post notes, "The president averaged nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in his first year. ... But he hit nearly 16.5 a day in his second year, almost triple the pace."
