The most entertaining thing to fact-check this week was Trump's claim that the people of Czechoslovakia used to tape US dollar bills to their windshields. Experts on Czechoslovakia were very confused.
Two serious Trump lies that got no attention: he said he is "surrounding our country" with missile interceptors, and that previous presidents refused to do this because other countries got mad and the presidents buckled. Experts say neither is true.
Other Trump lies: he was 15 mins early for the Queen (he was exactly on time), Gorsuch #1 at Harvard (Harvard tells me no), evangelicals tripled their previous turnout for him (no), NATO spending was declining before him (up for 2 years), he won women's vote (only white women)...
...you need photo ID to buy groceries (what), nobody left his Tampa crowd while he spoke (lots left), pollsters are manipulating polls to suppress his vote (no), Manhattan terrorist brought 22 people through "chain migration" (even anti-immigration advocates say no way)...
