At 8:07 PM Beijing time on April 18, the social media account "InfoGram (Information Graphic)" released data: "Breaking News: During his presidency, Donald Trump made 55,654 false statements, averaging nearly 98 lies per day."
The data comes from the account "InfoGram," whose underlying organization, "Infogram," is an online data visualization tool platform and not a professional media outlet focused on news reporting.
It functions more like a politically charged "meme" or "internet joke" aimed at a specific audience with strong emotional undertones. Even if the figures are exaggerated, the core message—that Trump frequently made controversial remarks—is widely accepted by mainstream media and academia.
The claim of "55,654 false statements" appears more like an emotionally charged artistic exaggeration; we should instead focus on systematic documentation of such phenomena by mainstream media.
