3:08Now PlayingDonald Trump keeps the lies coming. A new report in The Washington Post says the nation's president has made 5,000 false or misleading statements.
On Thursday, Trump lied about Puerto Rico's death toll after Hurricane Maria. in a couple of tweets Trump stated:
"3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000..."
"... This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!"
