https://www.cnn.com/politics/fact-check-trump-false-claims-debunked/index.html President Donald Trump filled his first 100 days back in office with the same relentless lying and inaccuracy that was a hallmark of his first presidency and his 2016 and 2024 presidential campaigns.
Some of Trumps 2025 false claims were about consequential policy matters, others about trivial personal fixations. Some were sophisticated distortions about obscure subjects, others obvious fictions about issues average Americans experience in their daily lives. Many were ad-libbed or posted on social media, but many were scripted into prepared remarks.
Aside from the staggering frequency and the trademark brazenness, what stood out was how repetitive Trumps lying was. Though he regularly sprinkled in some fresh deception, he deployed a core batch of favored falsehoods again and again undeterred by the fact that many of these claims had been publicly debunked for months or even years.
Here is a list of 100 separate false claims from Trump since his inauguration on January 20, fact-checked concisely with hyperlinks to more information. This is not a comprehensive list of the presidents false claims during this period (there were well over 100 in all) or a count of how many total times he was inaccurate (he uttered many of these 100 claims over and over again).
