Over the 14 weeks from the Monday his coronavirus task force started meeting, January 27, through Sunday, May 3, President Trump made 654 false claims — 215 of them specifically about the pandemic
He has been dishonest about testing. He has been dishonest about his travel restrictions. He has been dishonest about the supplies his predecessor left him, about what his opponents have said about the pandemic, even about what he has said himself.Trump made as many false claims at some of his official pandemic task force briefings as he does in some of his rally speeches.
This includes one of his most infamous and most egregious false claims of the crisis -- his March 6 declaration that"anybody that wants a test can get a test" -- and 12 renditions of perhaps his most absurd pandemic false claim, the insistence that the Obama administration left him bad or old tests for this new virus for which there could not have been a test until Trump's presidency.Trump also made 24 false claims about ventilators and the Strategic National Stockpile.
