The White House published a list titled “Top 250 Victories For People of Faith,” crediting President Trump with what it calls the most pro-faith, pro-life, and pro-religious-liberty record of any president in American history, a claim covering the entire span since the founding of the nation.
The release frames the count as timed to America's 250th birthday, with the number 250 doing quiet double duty as both a birthday tribute and a suspiciously tidy round figure for a list of achievements. It offers no independent measure by which the ranking against all prior presidents was determined.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A list that comes out to exactly 250 on the country's 250th birthday tells you the number got picked before the counting started. That's how a kid pads a book report, decide the length first and stretch till it fits. And claiming the best record since the founding is a bold thing to say when nobody at the office measured the other 44 fellows against anything at all.
