<i>&gt; Anyway, they don&#x27;t provide stats grouped by people, so that assertion is based on what?</i><p>The certainly do. You can see that Trump is telling the truth 2% of the time and is mostly true only 6%. Most of his claims are not true. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.politifact.com&#x2F;personalities&#x2F;donald-trump&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.politifact.com&#x2F;personalities&#x2F;donald-trump&#x2F;</a><p>For comparison, Hillary Clinton rates true (23%) or mostly true (27%) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.politifact.com&#x2F;personalities&#x2F;hillary-clinton&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.politifact.com&#x2F;personalities&#x2F;hillary-clinton&#x2F;</a><p><i>&gt; There is no clear-cut right or wrong.</i><p>Trump&#x27;s claim was analyzed. Independent experts were consulted. It&#x27;s obvious why the ruling went against him.<p>I don&#x27;t think distinguishing between hyperbole and lies is  Politifact&#x27;s problem. It&#x27;s simply calling a lie a lie.<p>I appreciate that Trump tells lies for political advantage, and that most politicians do the same. However, Trump is in a different league from Clinton, just as the NYT is in a different league from Fox News.
