‘When I can, I tell the truth’: President Trump pushes back against his peddling of falsehoods

President Donald Trump defended his proclivity to spread misleading statements and falsehoods, saying that he tells the truth when he can. “Well, I try. I do try...and I always want to tell the truth,” President Trump said. “When I can, I tell the truth. And sometimes it turns out to be where something happens that’s different or there’s a change, but I always like to be truthful." President Trump also took issue with the media’s estimates of the sizes of caravans of Central American migrants slowly making their way toward the United States. “You have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than it’s reported, actually,” he said. “I’m pretty good at estimating crowd size. And I’ll tell you, they look a lot bigger than people would think.”
