Did you actual read the differences, which are bigger than than simply a number. In one case, the number is backed up by evidence which is provided by the campaign. Politifact can then verify that the number isn't just made up or based on nothing. It's mostly true if you understand the context. As for Trump, they didn't provide anything to back up the statements. They had to dig to find where he got the information, and nothing they found backs up what he said. Now, you can argue the sources and the meaning, and that's the problem with statistics. But there is a difference between the two, more than just 8 percentage points.
