A 3-Minute Fact-Check of Donald Trump's Debate Lies

The Trump list, it is way way longer. So deep breath. He said some Democratic states allow people to execute babies after birth and egregious lie that is illegal in every state. He said everybody, even Democrats, wanted Roe V Wade overturn. Roe was supported by 2/3 of Americans, even more Democrats. He said every legal scholar wanted role overturn abortion, return to the states. Legal scholars have told me directly this is not true. He said the US currently has the biggest budget deficit ever know that happened under Trump in 2020. He said the US currently has a record trade deficit with China. It also happened under Trump in 2018. He said Biden personally gets a lot of money from China. 0 evidence of this. He said there were no terror attacks during his presidency. In fact, there were multiple attacks. He said Iran didn't find Hamas, Hezbollah, other terror groups under his presidency. Iran in fact did. He said Biden wants to quadruple people's taxes. That is pure fiction. He said the US has provided way more aid to Ukraine than Europe had. It's actually the opposite. He said the US has provided about 200 billion in Ukraine aid. It's closer to 110 billion. He said 18 or 19 million people have crossed the border under Biden. That is 1,000,000 too high. He said many of these migrants are from prisons or mental institutions. His own campaign cannot corroborate this. He said Biden has only created jobs for illegal immigrants. Total nonsense. He said Nancy Pelosi turned down his offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6. There's no evidence she even got such an offer. It was the president, not Pelosi, who had the power to deploy the DC Guard. He said Pelosi now acknowledges she turned down the troops. Know her office tells me this claim is still a lie. He said he deployed the National Guard to Minneapolis in 2020. Actually, that was the Democratic governor he spoke of, quote, ridiculous fraud in the 2020 election. Zero evidence of any widespread fraud. He said NATO was going out of business before he took office. Completely clearly absurd. He said the US was paying 100% of NATO before he came along. the US made-up about 71% of NATO defense spending, not 100. He said he, not Biden, is the one who lowered insulin prices in Medicare. He did it for some seniors, but Biden did it for far more. He said Biden indicted him. Again, no evidence Biden has had a personal role in any of these four prosecutions. He said Europe takes no US cars. Just not true. He spoke of food prices quadrupling under Biden. That's a wild exaggeration though. They are up. He said Biden made-up the idea. He called dead service member suckers and losers. No, The Atlantic magazine reported that and then former Trump chief of staff John Kelly corroborated it. He said Biden called black people quote super predators for 10 years. Biden never once deployed that phrase, let alone for 10 years, though he did at least one speak of quote predators without specifying is about black people. He said his Trump tax cut was the largest in U.S. history. Not true though. In fairness, Biden. Biden also said this. Trump said China and others stopped buying from Iran under him. China never stopped. He revived his pet lie. I don't know how many times I've done it, that he signed the veterans choice program into law. Barack Obama did that in 2014. Trump signed an expanded version in 2018. And finally Trump said Biden got rid of that veterans program. Biden has not done that.
