Washington Post gave up tracking Trump lies last term in 2021 because it became impossible by human hands with 21+ per day and over 30,000 in their database

but with "AI" now it's possible not only to do non-stop but in REALTIME

you could even just restrict the source of the check to the paper's own reporting the past fifty years

* https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claim...

I'd like to see that backfilled, all the way back to the "long form birth certificate" (remember that horror show)

I'm not sure AI helps for that particular task. If you just assume that 100% of everything he says is a lie you'll be 99% correct. Anyone who believes anything he says at this point is living in a constructed reality where facts never matter. Fact checking seems more useful for less pathological cases where it might make a difference.
