He has told that many lies, but I don't have the time to type up 750 of them. His latest were telling the soldiers they'd be getting 10% raises next year because of him. He actually proposed 2.1% and Congress jacked it up to 2.6 or something like that. Just take the number of days he's been in office and multiply it by 7 and you will be close to the number of lies the Washington Post has documented.
As of now you haven't even typed up one of them. In fact, the pay raises are ten percent cumulatively. Even if this were completely untrue, instead of partly, one is a long way from 7000. You haven't typed up 750 not because you don't have time but because they don't exist.
A lie is a deliberate misrepresentation. I notice also that while you claim the WaPo has documented 7000 lies, you are careful to omit any link for verification.
Here is the link you couldn't be bothered with.

Someone should fact check the WaPo for their fast and loose "facts." For instance, in the case of the young boy who supposedly died in Border Patrol custody, there is absolutely no mention of the fact that the Border Patrol took the kid to the hospital, where he was treated and released, and that the father did not administer the prescribed medication after the child's discharge from the hospital.
Their claim that Trump's "zero tolerance" was a new thing. It is not new. Enforcement of a policy enacted by Democrats is the new part.
The WaPo lists several other Trump statements that they claim are untrue with no evidence or only cherry-picked talking points. They claim there is no evidence that illegal immigrants cause more crime, which is a bald faced lie on the part of the Post. An appalling amount of crime in border towns is committed by illegals who sneak across the border, commit crimes and haul ass back to Mexico.
This is simply skimming the surface. The WaPo takes a statement it claims is a lie, and a claim that it was repeated x many times, and call that x number of lies, giving the impression that there are different statements. When you claim that a true statement is a lie, and that the 20 times that true statement is repeated equals 20 lies instead of none, it's easy to inflate your bullshit claims.
All politician lie. Trump's transgressions are nowhere near as frequent or serious as some of his predecessors.
