    what are you even supposed to do?

    Easy. Break it up into separate articles.

    False or misleading statements by Donald Trump on January 1, 2025

    False or misleading statements by Donald Trump on January 2, 2025

    False or misleading statements by Donald Trump On January 3, 2025

    …

      Nah, by category could be funnier. “Statements contradicted by science”, “Statements contradicted by basic economics”, “Statements later directly contradicted by Trump”

        The only problem with this approach is duplication. Many statements would appear in multiple lists

          Then how about a single chronological article of every bogus statement he ever made. Then have other articles that cluster them topically and provide context?

            This it a great suggestion.

            One “Trump fact” could be referenced in multiple articles.

              I’m just saying, we can make this so much more funny than a single banner at the top of a single article. We can make multiple, legitimately-needed Wikipedia articles about Donald Trump’s horseshit, I want to see some wikipedia editor try and say “no not like that!”

        Don’t forget “Statements earlier directly contradicted by Trump.”

        You also need, Statements contradicted by objective reality.

      This is usually what they do for long list-type articles. For examples, see such fascinating articles such as:

      • List of acts of the Parliament of England, 1413–1421
      • List of United States Supreme Court cases, volume 92
      • List of members of the European Parliament (2025–2029)
