The Washington Post database of Donald Trump's "false or misleading claims" is scrutinized for being overly subjective and pedantic. Specific examples are cited, such as the Post labeling a claim about winning Texas as a lie and nitpicking the difference between 50 and 51 years regarding unemployment records. The process is described as "ant-fucking" due to the focus on minor rounding differences in job growth statistics.
