Fact check: 18 false claims Trump made on '60 Minutes'

[TimFitz]

2020 was stolen.

What did eggs cost jan 2024?

It was? Where’s the evidence?

At Rudy’s landscaper, or maybe in Sidney Powell’s Hope chest?

 

[blackhawk]

Funny how people only care about politicians lying when it’s those they don’t support but never those they do and this applies to the left and the right.

 

[elektra]

Trump lies, and you try and defend his lying by demanding specific quotes.

Your hero is a liar. The world knows it.

own it.

I can easily respond in kind

Liar liar pants on fire lips as long as a telephone wire

[whitehall]

Funny how nobody on the left ever fact checked a clearly mentally impaired former president. Was it too easy or were y'all TDS lefties too embarrassed

You like being lied to, as I have already pointed out with examples.

If you want specific examples of Trump lies, they’re on your news feed (X is not a news feed) every single day.

Trump is a pathological liar, like so many occupants of the WH. What's new? He defrauded the fools that bought into his Trump University. He is owned by the Zionists. What's new?

 

[TimFitz]

Polls show over 70% of democrats TRUST the msm. Democrats believe the TV.

Democrats are the cult they claim maga to be.

you’re assuming that television is their primary news source.

it’s also clear that they don’t trust media that lies to them,like Fox, OANN or NoiseMax.

And Progs have everything else. Tonight, as entertainment a 100-year-old woman in a wheelchair will beat the shit out of several UCF male fighters and Prog Socialist Women Feminists will believe it. This is what you produce. We are the first nation where superiority equality is based on TV entertainment and total lies. Yet many of you die easily in crime.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Just that you made it up..

But, it does appear to run right back to your assumption that television rules the world (yours at least)

‘Trump littered his new “60 Minutes” interview with a wide-ranging assortment of false claims, the vast majority of them previously debunked. We counted at least 18 inaccurate assertions.

Trump told his usual lie that the free and fair 2020 election was stolen from him. He lied again that grocery prices “are down” even after CBS’ Norah O’Donnell informed him they are up. He declared once more that there is now “no inflation,” though there certainly is, and then that inflation is 2% or “even less than 2%,” though the most recent available Consumer Price Index figure is now up to 3%.

The president also deployed multiple other fictional numbers during his exchanges with O’Donnell, which were recorded Friday and released by CBS on Sunday.

He falsely claimed “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now,” though the $17 trillion figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated figure.

We don’t know if inflation would be lower. That is speculation. What we do know for a fact is that the cost of most tariffs is shared. PCE doesn’t lie. You and other Democrats, don’t seem to recognize how the strength of the US consumer base positively affects our ability to impose tariffs and have exporters eat more of the costs.

Many exporters in China, for example, can’t afford to lose our customer base due to higher tariffs. They lower their prices to some extent. The importers and/or the retailiers eat some of the tariff for the same reason. The consumer may see a small increase in prices, but there is no doubt that foriegn manufactures are in a sense subsidizing US government revenue. As the power of the tariffing country’s consumer increases, so does the amount of the subsidy. The US is in a very powerful position to tariff and not see huge price increases due to the strength of our consumer.



Biden claimed 17 million “new” jobs. What is your point again?



Biden said, “We’ve created nearly 17 million new jobs, more than any other single administration in a single term.”

Biden said, “We’ve created nearly 17 million new jobs, more than any other single administration in a single term.” But no president’s administration is responsible for all jobs gained or lost. Furthermore, on a percentage basis, job growth was higher during President Jimmy Carter’s four-year presidency and during President Lyndon Johnson’s one full term.​

Fact check didn't raise a flag.

He didn't create 17 million "new" jobs. We were coming out of COVID. Many previously lost jobs were regained.

A few threads already on this subject. Here's a repeat from another thread;
I suggest looking this link over, especially it's charts;

www.usinflationcalculator.com
...
The third chart down shows a jump from 1.8 in 2019 to 3.9 in 2020 - thank you COVID.
Then it shows a jump to 6.3 for 2021 and 10.4 for 2022
The a drop to 2.7 for 2023, with 2.5 for 2024
So far in 2025 it shows 3.1

Two things to consider;
1) These are percentages of change, +/-, and accumulate atop each other. Hence the total change for 2020 through 2022 is 20.6% INCREASE. Add on 2023 & 2024 for the "Biden term" and we have 25.8%.
2) In perspective to the above, 3.1% for 2025 is a drop in the rate/percentage of increase compared to 2020-2024, but no where near a "real decline".*

* The next table down on this link shows monthly through the year from 1968 to present. Chart won't copy-paste per my skills but is worth a look. Here's the preface;

Table: Food Inflation by Month and Year

The below table shows the percent increase or decrease in food prices on an annual basis by month and calendar year. Since figures below are 12-month periods, look to the December column to find the overall change in food prices by calendar year. The last column, "Ave," shows the average rate of increase or decrease in food prices by year.
....
The yearly averages match closely to the above. There are very few months with a negative percentage, decrease, change in food prices.

Inflation is significantly down from July 2022. See the chart.

United States Inflation Rate

/----/ True, but the problem is that the 9% inflation rate is built into today's pricing moving forward. We'd need deflation to start bringing prices down. Of course, this doesn't apply to energy prices like gas.

President Donald Trump continued his diligent work making sure CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale has job security Wednesday evening, including such a large “batch of lies” in his speech that Dale had to update his already lengthy fact-check the next morning.

Trump’s primetime address to the nation was widely panned by critics on both the right and left as largely “pointless.” During his speech, the president made a number of claims during his speech that were exaggerated, inaccurate, misrepresented, or just plain lies.

Papageorgio you've never forgiven Biden for saying one thing that turned out to not be true. Why don't you mind all of Trump's lies?

Trump falsely claimed, “Inflation is stopped.”

Trump repeated his false claim that “when I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years

After noting that the price of eggs has plummeted since March, Trump added, “And everything else is falling rapidly.” That is not true even if he was talking specifically about grocery prices, which are up this year. Consumer Price Index data shows that a far greater number of grocery items have increased in price since he returned to office than have decreased.

Trump repeated his false claim that an executive order he issued on prescription drug prices will cut those prices by “as much as 400, 500, and even 600%.” These figures are mathematically impossible but he keeps saying it and no one calls him out on it.

Trump said, “Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon in much of the country, and some states it by the way just hit $1.99 a gallon.”

s of Wednesday, there were only four states whose average price for a gallon of regular gas was below $2.50

The AAA national average was $2.905 per gallon.

Trump repeated his false claim that there has been “$18 trillion” in investment in the US during his second presidency

Trump repeated his false claim that he has ended eight wars

Trump repeated his false claim that “25 million” migrants entered the country under Biden

Trump also repeated his unsubstantiated claim that, during the Biden administration, foreign countries emptied their prisons and mental institutions to somehow send the people in them to the US as migrants, claiming that “many” members of the supposed “army of 25 million people” were “from prisons and jails, mental institutions and insane asylums.” Trump has never provided corroboration for such claims about foreign countries in general or the specific places he has named in the past

Trump repeated his false claim that the big domestic policy bill he signed earlier this year includes “no tax on Social Security.”

Trump falsely claimed that, under Biden, there was “crime at record levels, with law enforcement and words such as that just absolutely forbidden.” Neither of these two claims is true.

Murder spiked nationally amid the turmoil of the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, under both Trump in 2020 and Biden in 2021. But FBI data showed that both violent crime and property crime declined nationally under Biden in 2023 and 2024.

Trump added a false claim about Democrats, saying: “It was bad health care at much too high a cost, and you see that now in the steep increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats. And they are demanding those increases and it’s their fault. It is not the Republicans’ fault. It’s the Democrats’ fault.”

Trump said, as he regularly does, that “We’re bringing back clean, beautiful coal.” Though it’s true he has made efforts to revive US coal production, it’s not true that coal is “clean”; its use as a power source creates polluting emissions that harm humans and the environment
