What were Donald Trump's most repeated false statements while president and how many times did he repeat them?

1. A running ledger of repeat falsehoods: what reporters counted

Fact-check outlets and news organizations have repeatedly flagged a set of Trump claims that recur across many appearances — notably that “we have no inflation” or grocery prices are “down,” that Joe Biden sent “$350 billion” (including “a lot of weapons”) to Ukraine, that Trump “ended seven wars,” and that the 2020 election was stolen — and documented many individual instances; CNN and others counted at least 18 inaccurate assertions in one interview alone ^{[2] [3] [1] [4]}. Wikipedia’s compilation of “false or misleading statements” chronicles repeated use of such talking points across time, treating repetition as a tactic ^[5].

2. Grocery prices and “no inflation”: repeated claim vs. CPI data

Trump repeatedly asserted grocery prices were “down” or that “we have no inflation”; fact-checkers (CNN, FactCheck.org, others) showed Consumer Price Index measures indicating grocery prices rose month-to-month and year-over-year in 2025 (CPI up ~2.7% year-over-year for food-at-home in September 2025 and ~1.4% since January 2025), and multiple outlets documented the contradiction ^{[6] [2] [3] [1]}. Reporters noted the White House sometimes tried to reframe the claim (e.g., citing a short-term dip in monthly inflation), but fact-checks report Trump ignored those corrections and kept repeating the broader, inaccurate claim ^[7].

3. The $350 billion to Ukraine claim: repeated and numerically off

Multiple outlets recorded Trump repeating a claim that “Joe Biden gave $350 billion to Ukraine, including a lot of weapons.” Fact-checkers pointed out that the U.S. had disbursed roughly $94 billion by mid‑2025 (with additional appropriations pending), making the “$350 billion” figure materially incorrect and a recurring falsehood in Trump’s remarks ^{[3] [2] [8]}.

4. “Ended seven wars” and other grand achievement claims

Trump’s frequent assertion that he “ended seven wars” was flagged by The Guardian and fact‑checking organizations as misleading; analysts say some ceasefires or de‑escalations involved U.S. roles, but the sweeping “ended seven wars” formulation overstates the facts and was repeatedly used in speeches and at the UN ^{[4] [1]}.

5. Election falsehoods and the “big lie” framing

Wikipedia and multiple fact-checkers document that Trump repeatedly promoted the claim the 2020 election was stolen — a central, recurring falsehood that underpinned later challenges and controversies. Critics and analysts have characterized this pattern as an effort to sow doubt about electoral integrity; the reporting cites the repetition as strategic ^{[5] [9]}.

6. How many times? The limits of available reporting

Reporting and fact‑check compilations enumerate many instances and frequently note repetition, but the sources provided do not supply a single, authoritative tally that counts every repetition of each false claim across all speeches, interviews and social posts. Outlets like CNN, FactCheck.org and local news sites documented dozens of specific inaccuracies and repeat occurrences (for example, at least 18 false claims in one interview), yet none of the supplied documents gives a comprehensive per‑claim repeat count across the presidency ^{[2] [1] [3]}.

7. Why repetition matters — and how fact‑checkers respond

Journalists and fact‑checkers treat repetition as consequential: Wikipedia and news analyses argue that frequent reiteration functions as a “flood the zone” strategy to normalize claims and overwhelm debunking ^[5]. Fact‑check outlets respond by cataloguing claims, contextualizing data (CPI numbers, inspector‑general figures for Ukraine aid), and publishing counters that some platforms and even an AI on Truth Social have sometimes echoed to contradict those claims ^{[10] [3] [6]}.

8. Bottom line for readers

Available reporting consistently documents a set of recurring false or misleading Trump claims — about inflation/groceries, Ukraine aid amounts, wars “ended,” and the 2020 election — and shows fact‑checkers have repeatedly corrected those statements ^{[2] [3] [4] [5]}. However, the sources provided do not offer a definitive, itemized count of how many times each specific false claim was repeated across his presidency; to get precise repeat counts would require aggregating and coding every public remark, which the cited reports do not do ^{[2] [5]}.
