Donald Trump says he's brought in $14 trillion in new investment in the U.S. in four months .

Economists say that figure is not remotely true.

Trump has been boasting for months that his return to office has brought in trillions of dollars of investments.

The White House website lists pages of figures, including $1.2 trillion from Qatar , $500 billion from Apple and $11 billion from Gilead .

Wolfers said Trump also has the advantage that most people do not fully comprehend large numbers, making it easy to confuse them with grandiose statements. “The problem is the word million, billion and trillion all sound similar,” he said. “So my realistic answer is that he’s a known liar... I can also show you that he’s a lazy liar. So if your investment announcement is full of lazy lies, what part of it should we infer is true?”.
