@FairyTaleMindy Not at all. The increases during his tenure have been bigger than in the two previous years. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump could accurately say increases during his tenure have been bigger than the previous increases, and Stoltenberg has given him significant credit for the recent increases. But it's not true that spending was going straight down before he came in, as he's said over and over. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump keeps saying NATO spending was going down before he took office. Here is official NATO data on military spending by non-US members. Though it did fall for years post-Cold War, it increased in 2015 and 2016 (post-Crimea invasion/post-2014 recommitment to the 2% guideline). https://t.co/3KPxp9oaG8 — PolitiTweet.org

It's actually gone in phases. Trump initially went a while claiming a 93% Republican approval rating he didn't have, then turned it into a 94% Republican approval rating he didn't have, then turned it into a 95% Republican approval rating he doesn't have. https://t.co/L9w5SiSNya — PolitiTweet.org

@ddale8 But it's consistently the same number. Makes remembering it easier... (if not possible at all without a cheat sheet)

What always gets me is the "Thank you!" he adds to the imaginary number. https://t.co/LxxfaI2RUf — PolitiTweet.org

Yes. Trump has averaged 64 false claims per week since July 8, when I started counting at CNN. https://t.co/XK1jFIEDvP — PolitiTweet.org
randy @weinstein2080
@ddale8 @tarasubramaniam Is that below his average
Daniel Dale @ddale8
I took a week off of fact checking the president, then did two weeks of checking with @tarasubramaniam. It was non-fun. Ninety-six false claims in total. Here they are, including a bunch of egregious new ones: https://t.co/1pP8z29pUH — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is fixated on the trade deficit as a supposed measure of economic health, and he keeps claiming he’s turning it around. It set a record in 2018 and might well set another one in 2019 despite recent declines from the 2018 peak. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he is turning around the (supposed) scourge of trade deficits. In fact, they’ve been increasing. — PolitiTweet.org

I haven't heard back from team Trump about the polling that Trump said showed support for impeachment in the 20s or at 75-25 in his favor. Last call if anyone has something to support this claim. https://t.co/UTFhcKml2C — PolitiTweet.org

Between Ice-T and Mr. Dickie, this qualifies as "some people," and, thus, the president's claim about some people and Thanksgiving does not qualify for my list of false claims. This is the beauty of the "some people"/"many people" construction he is fond of. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Here is a candidate for Trump's source for "some people" wanting to rename Thanksgiving: a Washington Post letter to the editor from one Robert W. Dickie of Bethesda, Maryland. Thanks to those who flagged it. https://t.co/97PupIYVhB — PolitiTweet.org

@grooveplex ? No, I'm not saying we should entertain the underlying idea. I'm saying I couldn't include the claim *that some people believe this* on a list of false claims. (In the case of flat-earthers, it's clearly not false that some people believe it.) — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
@bigmark Yes, but still! Here is a person who wants to change the name of Thanksgiving. — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Yes, this is the challenge with a lot of Trump's claims: when he says something came from "some people," "many people," or an unnamed person who called him sir while crying, it can't really be declared false even if it's highly dubious. https://t.co/SGaekDoQk1 — PolitiTweet.org

@ddale8 327+ million ppl in that place. There must be "some" people that fit the description. Two will do.

In summary: 1) Trying to fact check Donald Trump requires a lot of very weird conversations. 2) I still haven't found the some people who want to change the name of Thanksgiving. Please feel free to get in touch if it's you. — PolitiTweet.org

The organizers said they'd never heard of any Native effort to change the name of Thanksgiving. Andrea Carmen, International Indian Treaty Council leader: "We as Indigenous Peoples give thanks for our lives, our survival, and the gifts we receive from Mother Earth every day." — PolitiTweet.org

My Googling did, however, bring up reports of an annual Native American event often referred to in media as "Unthanksgiving." So I contacted the organizers...who told me that they'd decided years ago that *Unthanksgiving" was a bad name, and changed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a thread on what it's like to try to fact check all of this president's claims: Trump said "some people" want to change the name of Thanksgiving. Who? He didn't say. I Googled around. No sign of any effort of even minor prominence to change the name of Thanksgiving. — PolitiTweet.org
