President Trump has lied about signing more pieces of legislation than any president in U.S. history, when in fact he’s signed fewer pieces of legislation so far than any president since Dwight Eisenhower, who took office in 1953. This is Trump, speaking to firefighters in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump: “We have more legislation passed, including—the record was Harry Truman. That’s a long time ago. And we broke that record. So we have a lot done.”
That’s Trump falsely claiming he has broken previous presidents’ legislative records. In fact, so far he’s signed the fewest number of bills into law in more than 60 years.
