AP FACT CHECK: Trump's skewed claims on immigration, economy
I think the worst one is this one:
"We got back our great fallen heroes, the remains sent back today, already 200 have been sent back." — remarks Wednesday.
No remains have been returned. How could he say something like this to the American people? I don't get it. As a Veteran, I think this is worse than deplorable.
He lies about former friends he has made into enemies:
Crime in Germany is way up. "Crime in Germany is up 10% plus (officials do not want to report these crimes) since migrants were accepted." — tweet Tuesday.
THE FACTS: Crime in Germany is not "way up." It's actually dropped to the lowest in a quarter century.
I watched him say this on TV:
we now have thousands of judges — border judges — thousands and thousands." — remarks Tuesday to the National Federation of Independent Business.
THE FACTS: The Justice Department's immigration courts division has about 335 judges currently on staff nationwide, with the budget for 150 additional judges.
On Korea:
TRUMP: "The big thing is, it will be a total denuclearization, which has already started taking place." — remarks Thursday at Cabinet meeting.
THE FACTS: That's not what his Pentagon chief, Jim Mattis, says. When asked by a reporter on Wednesday whether he had seen any sign that North Korea had begun steps toward denuclearization, Mattis replied, "I'm not aware of any.
---------------------------
It's a very long article listing many lies. Many of us posting on the USMB saw him say these lies during his last couple of rallies.
It just blows my mind that at this late date, his rabid base still insists they have never heard him lie. The question is no longer, what kind of man he is, but what kind of people are they to let this go?
