Hunter Biden drops a bombshell '86 Trump lies' list, says 'it's almost impossible to keep up'
WASHINGTON, DC: Hunter Biden dropped a sprawling list on Saturday, August 1, accusing President Donald Trump of 86 "false, misleading, or contradictory" statements over the past 24 months, saying he used AI to compile the claims and then cross-checked them against official data, news reporting, and independent fact-checks.
"It's almost impossible to keep up," the former first son wrote, calling the list partial and admitting it "cannot be" complete given the volume of statements he's tracking.
The list is a rapid-fire indictment of nearly every aspect of Trump’s second term, from inflation and grocery prices to the cost of tariffs and drug prices, cuts to Medicaid, the wars in Ukraine and Iran, Greenland, funding for NATO, the 2020 election, the Epstein files, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool controversy.
Fact-checkable claims sit alongside contested framing
Some items on Hunter's list point to things that are independently documented, like the Congressional Budget Office's projections on Medicaid spending cuts, or the Justice Department's move to drop a Reflecting Pool vandalism case after acknowledging flawed installation work.
We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up.

So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and…
Others lean more on interpretation, including disputes over how many "wars" Trump has ended, whether past statements were sarcastic, and characterizations of NATO funding claims.
The 56-year-old's post treats all 86 entries the same way, without distinguishing between hard data and disputed framing.
The list spans nearly every facet of Trump’s presidency, from domestic controversies to foreign policy to economic promises.
Others focus on foreign policy reversals such as the repeated claims by Trump that Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated” before he then went to war over the ongoing threat posed by that program and the changing, sometimes same-day, contradictions from Trump over whether negotiations with Iran were ongoing or over.
A background of hostility between the two
The post comes amid a long and publicly hostile history between the two men.
During his first term and the 2024 campaign, Trump spent much of his time attacking Hunter over his overseas business dealings and the contents of his laptop.
But as President Joe Biden left office, he issued a blanket pardon for Hunter. Since then, Hunter has adopted a more public and combative stance on Trump, and this list continues that trend of direct personal criticism, rather than a detached one.
Hunter closed by daring readers to check his work rather than take it on faith. "Don't take my word for it. Ask your favorite AI. Check the sources. Then post your own list in the replies," he wrote.
