The Washington Post reported that former President Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading statements during his time in office.

In this video, Politifact debunks Trumps claims of “There is no evidence Joe Biden won”… “In 2020, the ballots that were counted were fake ballots”… “Eighty-two percent of the country understands that the 2020 election was rigged” , “The Harris-Biden Administration fraudulently manipulated Job Statistics”… “Kamala Harris wants to forcibly compel doctors and nurses to give chemical castration drugs to young children”… “Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard, so I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis”…… “Democrats used COVID to cheat in the 2020 election”.

Trump accused Ted Cruz of “stealing” the 2016 Iowa Republican Primary and accused Ted Cruz’s father of being involved in JFK’s assassination. In response, Ted Cruz calls Trump a “Pathological Liar who doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies” and claims Trump “is a narcissist at a level this country’s never seen”.

Dr. John Gartner states; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump. He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies“.

Factchecking Trump’s debate claims: from abortion to Project 2025

Donald Trump repeatedly made false and misleading claims about immigrants “eating the pets”, his connection to Project 2025 and the Central Park Five, among other topics, during his debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Here are the facts on some of the false claims offered during Tuesday’s debate.

• Donald Trump claimed that crime is way up in the US.
  The facts: Trump is wrong: crime is actually down. Data from the FBI found that violent crime decreased during the Trump administration, spiking in 2020 during the pandemic and continuing to trend downward afterwards. Preliminary data from the FBI found that violent crime was down 6% in 2023, and 15% in the first quarter of 2024.Violent crime decreased throughout most of Trump’s presidency, according to FBI data that uses information provided by law enforcement agencies. However, it spiked in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has trended downward since 2020 across the US, nearing pre-pandemic levels in 2022. Preliminary FBI data for 2023 shows that violent crime overall was down another 6% that year. Though the data is preliminary, it includes numbers from 80% of the law enforcement agencies in the country.
• Trump repeated one of his usual falsehoods: that abortions are taking place in the ninth month of pregnancy.
  The facts: Fewer than 1% of abortions are performed past 21 weeks of pregnancy; when these abortions do take place, they often occur in medical emergencies or cases of fetal anomalies. Trump also suggested, at multiple points, that abortions take place after birth. That would be infanticide, and it is illegal in all 50 states.
• Trump denied knowledge of Project 2025, a 900-page plan for the aggressive rightwing overhaul of nearly every aspect of the federal government.
  Project 2025 suggests ridding the federal ranks of many appointed roles and stacking agencies instead with more political appointees aligned with, and more beholden to, Trump’s policy prescriptions.The facts: Though Trump has tried repeatedly to distance himself from the platform, which seeks to strip away reproductive, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, his policies align heavily with Project 2025. As the Guardian’s Rachel Leingang reported: “Trump well knows the Heritage Foundation and has spoken at their events, and [Kevin] Roberts, Heritage’s leader, has previously said he and Trump have talked several times. Project 2025’s authors and supporters contain a ton of former Trump administration officials.”
• Donald Trump has spouted off a number of false claims about immigration. Among other allegations, he said immigrants are “taking over the towns … They’re going in violently.”
  The facts: That’s false. Although some US cities have seen an influx of immigrants, most have arrived legally, with work permits or with authorization to stay while their cases are worked out in the courts.There has been no widespread violence in these cities and, overall, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than the US-born according to multiple, extensive studies, including from the conservative Cato Institute.
• Trump repeated an unsubstantiated claim that immigrants are eating pets in an Ohio town, forcing the moderator to tell him that there is no proof of that.
  “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats … they’re eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame,” the former president said. The story of migrants allegedly eating pets has circulated in rightwing media in recent days and been repeated by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance. Bansal Oreus helps other Haitian immigrants with government documents at the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Springfield, Ohio, U.S., August 15, 2024.
• Republicans spread baseless slurs about ‘cat-eating migrants’ in Ohio city
  The facts: These are false and unsubstantiated claims. “You bring up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community,” moderator David Muir told Trump. The Springfield News-Sun reported on Monday that police have “received no reports related to pets being stolen and eaten”.
• Donald Trump repeated misinformation about the result of lawsuits contesting the 2020 election results.
  The former president said that “no judges looked at” lawsuits he and allies filed about irregularities in the election. “They said we didn’t have standing. A technicality. Can you imagine a system where a person in an election doesn’t have standing? The president of the United States doesn’t have standing. That’s how we lost,” Trump said.The facts: That’s misleading. Some lawsuits were dismissed due to a lack of standing – meaning that those who brought the lawsuits didn’t have a stake in the results. Others were decided on merit. Judges found in some cases that evidence provided was speculative, or failed to show fraud.
• Trump doubles down on claims about the exonerated Central Park Five
  Donald Trump doubled down on his claims that the exonerated Central Park Five – Black teenagers who were arrested in connection with the rape and assault of a white female jogger in 1989 and convicted based on police-coerced confessions. Back then, Trump called for the execution of the five children. When Kamala Harris brought up Trump’s stance, he dug in: “They pled guilty … They badly hurt a person, they killed a person, ultimately.”The facts: The five boys were tried as adults and actually pleaded not guilty. And the victim, Trisha Meili, although almost killed, was found unconscious in the park, survived and testified in court. All of them were exonerated after a convicted murderer confessed to the crime in 2002. In 2014, they were awarded a $41m settlement. In 1989, before any of the boys had faced trial, Trump paid a reported $85,000 to take out advertising space in four of the city’s newspapers, including the New York Times, calling for their execution. The headline read: “Bring Back the Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!” and above his signature Trump wrote: “I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence.”

This article was amended on 11 September 2024 to make clear that, contrary to Donald Trump’s claims, the Central Park Five pleaded not guilty at trial, and the victim in the case survived.

 

Trump lied non-stop during the 2024 Presidential Debate and behaved like a mean spirited asshole bully

List of Trump’s outrageous lies and false statements;

Trump’s Lie about January 6th: “Nancy Pelosi, if you watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter who is a documentary filmmaker they say, but she’s saying, ‘Oh no, it’s my responsibility. I was responsible for this,’ because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard, and she turned them down.”

Fact Check: Nancy Pelosi never claimed to be responsible for January 6th. She can be seen on film during the January 6th attack on the Capitol asking local officials to deploy National Guard troops to the Capitol when it became clear Trump wasn’t going to deploy the D.C. National Guard.

Pelosi’s daughter is a documentary filmmaker who was making a film about her mother in 2021, and was filming in the Capitol on January 6th. She followed her mother and other members of Congress into a secure facility after the Capitol was evacuated. The footage can be seen in the Pelosi documentary, Pelosi in the House, on HBO.

The Speaker of the House has no authority over the National Guard. The Speaker of the House is not in the military chain of command, and does not have any authority to “turn down” National Guard troops that are ordered to defend the Capitol by the President.

Trump’s Lie about Abortion: “They’re radical because they will take the life of the child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth. After birth, if you look at the Governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, ‘we’ll put the baby aside, I will determine what we will do with the baby,’ meaning will kill the baby.”

Fact Check: Democratic Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia never said that. Here is what Northam said:

“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Northam’s words were taken out of context. He was referring to palliative care of infants who have no chance of survival after birth: making them as comfortable as possible for the final hours of their life at the wishes of the parents, not intentionally killing them. Killing an infant after it is born is considered murder in all 50 states. No law has been proposed in any state to make infanticide legal.

Trump’s Lie about his N.Y. Criminal Case: “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”

Fact Check: Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York for falsifying business records related to reimbursement payments to his then lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about her sexual relationship with Donald Trump before the 2016 election.

A jury of Trump’s peers found that he did, in fact, have sex with a porn star, and illegally tampered with financial records to keep his hush money payment about their affair a secret.

Here is the complete list of every lie Trump told during his debate with President Biden on Thursday (provided by the Biden-Harris campaign):

1. “We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well, and everybody was amazed by it.”

2. “The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounce-back jobs, they’re bounced back from the COVID.”

5. “I gave you the largest tax cut in history.”

6. “I was getting out of Afghanistan, but we’re getting out with dignity, with strength, with power.”

7. “The tax cuts spurred the greatest economy that we’ve ever seen.”

8. “Now, when we cut the taxes…we took in more revenue with much less tax.”

9. “We had largely fixed [COVID].”

10. “Throughout the entire world, we’re no longer respected as a country. They don’t respect our leadership. They don’t respect the United States anymore. We’re like a third world nation.”

11. “He allowed millions of people to come in here from prisons, jails, and mental institutions to come into our country and destroy our country.”

12. “He’s destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in.”

13. “The Supreme Court just approved the abortion pill.”

14. “Every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted [abortion] brought back to the states.”

15. “They’re radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth. After birth, if you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, we’ll put the baby aside, I will determine what we do with the baby, meaning will kill the baby.”

16. “Under Roe v. Wade, you have late term abortion. You can do whatever you want depending on the state. You can do whatever you want.”

17. “He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons, people that are from mental institutions, insane asylum, terrorists.”

18. “He didn’t need legislation because I didn’t have legislation. I said close the border.”

19. “[Migrants are] living in luxury hotels in New York City and other places.”

20. “He doesn’t care about our veterans. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t like the military at all, and he doesn’t care about our veterans.”

21. “I had the highest approval rating for veterans taking care of the VA. He has the worst. He’s gotten rid of all the things that I approved.”

22. “First of all, that was a made-up quote, ‘suckers and losers.’ They made it up.”

23. “Our veterans and our soldiers can’t stand this guy. They can’t stand him. They think he’s the worst Commander in Chief, if that’s what you call him, that we’ve ever had.”

24. “He did nothing to stop [Russia’s invasion of Ukraine]. In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in.”

25. “Iran was broke with me. I wouldn’t let anybody do business with them. They ran out of money. They were broke.”

26. “You had no terror at all during my administration.”

27. “Nancy Pelosi, if you just watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter, who’s a documentary filmmaker they say, but she’s saying, ‘Oh, no, it’s my responsibility. I was responsible for this’ because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard. And she turned them down.”

28. “The unselect committee, which is basically two horrible Republicans that are all gone now, out of office, and Democrats, all Democrats, they destroyed and deleted all the information they found because they found out we were right. We were right. And they deleted and destroyed all of the information.”

29. “Telling the Ukrainian people that we’re going to want a billion dollars or you change the prosecutor, otherwise you’re not getting a billion dollars. If I ever said that, that’s quid pro quo.”

30. “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”

31. “He basically went after his political opponent because he thought it was going to damage me.”

32. “He made up the Charlottesville story.”

33. “He caused the inflation and it’s killing Black families and Hispanic families.”

34. “They can’t buy groceries anymore, they can’t, you look at the cost of food where it’s doubled and tripled and quadrupled. They can’t live, they’re not living anymore.”

35. “[European countries] don’t want anything that we have.”

36. “Almost every police group in the nation from every state is supporting Donald J. Trump. Almost every police group.”

37. “And what he’s done to the black population is horrible, including the fact that for ten years he called them super-predators.”

38. “And yet during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever.”

39. “The Paris accord was going to cost us $1 trillion and China nothing and Russia, nothing, and India nothing. It was a rip off of the United States and I ended it because I didn’t want to waste that money because they treated us horribly…. Nobody else was paying into it and it was, it was a disaster.”

40. “I’m the one that got the insulin down for the seniors. I took care of the seniors.”

41. On migrants: “They’re taking over our schools our hospitals, and they’re going to be taking over our schools or hospitals, and they’re going to be taking over Social Security.”

42. “But Social Security – he’s destroying it because millions of people are pouring into our country and they are putting them onto Social Security. They’re putting them onto Medicare, Medicaid. They’re putting them in our hospitals.”

43. “He wants open borders. He wants our country to either be destroyed, or he wants to pick up those people as voters.”

44. “He wants the Trump tax cuts to expire.”

45. “He wants to raise your taxes by four times. He wants to raise everybody’s taxes by four times.”

46. “We now have the largest [trade] deficit in the history of our country under this guy. We have the largest deficit with China.”

47. “He gets paid by China. He’s a Manchurian candidate. He gets money from China. So I think he’s afraid to deal with them.”

48. “We had two cases, we paid $6 billion for five people.”

49. “They talk about a relatively small number of people that went to the Capitol, and in many cases were ushered in by the police.”

50. “I would have much rather accepted these [election results in 2020], but the fraud and everything else was ridiculous.”

 

Trump Lies about Non-existent Protestors

For years, Trump has lied about how many supporters attended his presidential inauguration and numerous campaign rallies.

Now he’s pushing a blatant lie about how many supporters have attempted to show up at his first criminal trial – and he’s making additional false claims about security measures around the Manhattan courthouse, which he is baselessly blaming for keeping these supposed supporters away.

After The New York Times published a story that said Trump was unhappy with the meager crowd he saw when he arrived at the courthouse for opening statements on Monday, On April 24, 2024 , Trump got caught in one of his biggest lie yet by falsely claims police turned away ‘thousands’ from Manhattan courthouse and that supporters ‘can’t get near’ and wrote on social media that “Lower Manhattan surrounding the Courthouse was completely CLOSED DOWN.” And he told reporters inside the courthouse on Tuesday: “For blocks you can’t get near this courthouse.”

This is more proof of what a Narcissistic Psychopathic Nutcase Trump is who is either one of the biggest liars in American History or/and he’s so delusional that he believes his own bullshit. And it’s more proof that Trump is totally unfit to hold ANY position in Public Office, let alone President of the United States.
