We have been tracking President Donald Trump's false or misleading claims for more than seven months.

Somewhere about August 4 or 5, he broke 1000 claims, and the tally now stands at 1057.

That's an impressive number by any standard. In fact, we are a little late with this update because we have simply been overwhelmed keeping track of the deluge of claims made by the President in the later part of July. Things slowed down during his "working vacation" so we have finally been able to catch up.

At the President's current pace, he averages nearly five claims a day. Many are repeats of claims that have previously been debunked. We also include statements that are unacknowledged flip-flops from previously held positions, such as touting new highs in a stock market that he previously derided as being a "big, fat bubble".

More than 30 of the President's misleading statements have been repeated three or more times.

Trump's most repeated claim, uttered 50 times, was some variation of the statement that the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) is dying and "essentially dead".

The Congressional Budget Office has said that the Obamacare exchanges, despite well-documented issues, are not imploding and are expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future. Moreover, Congress has been unable to pass a law that would repeal Obamacare, making the continuation of the law Trump's problem.

Trump repeatedly takes credit for events or business decisions that happened before he took the oath of office - or had even been elected.

Forty-two times, he has touted that he secured business investments and job announcements that had been previously announced and could easily be found with a Google search.

And 19 times he has boasted that he achieved a reduction in the cost of Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, even though the price cut had been in the works before he was elected.

Some of the President's repeated claims have nothing to do with policy but instead rehash discredited campaign rhetoric, such as the false charge that Hillary Clinton gave 20 per cent of the US uranium supply to Russia or that the deputy FBI director got $US700,000 from Clinton.

Both claims were deemed false in 2016. Yet Trump brought them up 11 times.

Some of Trump's favourite claims are simply odd. Eleven times, he has said that the United States has already spent $US6 trillion on "Middle East wars", money that could have been used instead on building roads in the United States. He often suggests this is a recently calculated figure, but it combines the cost of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (which is in South Asia) and then includes future obligations for veterans' costs and interest on the debt until 2053.

At the six-month mark, the President was averaging 4.6 claims a day, but he has now increased his pace.

At his current rate, the President won't break 2000 claims in his first year in office. But with five months to go, all bets are off.
