Since you asked:

TRUMP, on then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s actions on Jan. 6: “Because I offered her 10,000 soldiers or National Guard and she turned them down.”


THE FACTS: Pelosi did not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and then-Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell called for military assistance, including from the National Guard.

TRUMP, on Biden: “He wants to raise your taxes by four times.”

THE FACTS: That’s not accurate.

Trump has used that line at rallies, but it has no basis in fact. Biden actually wants to prevent tax increases on anyone making less than $400,000, which is the vast majority of taxpayers.

More importantly, Biden’s budget proposal does not increase taxes as much as Trump claims, though the increases are focused on corporations and the wealthy. Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for individuals are set to expire after 2025, because they were not fully funded when they became law.

TRUMP, referring to Jan. 6, 2021, the day a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop the certification of Biden’s victory: “On January 6th we had the lowest taxes ever. We had the lowest regulations ever on January 6th.”

THE FACTS: The current federal income tax was only instituted in 1913, and tax rates have fluctuated significantly in the decades since. Rates were lower in the 1920s, just prior to the Great Depression. Trump did cut taxes during his time in the White House, but the rates weren’t the lowest in history.

TRUMP, touting his environmental record, said that “during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever” and that he supports “immaculate” air and water.

THE FACTS: That’s far from the whole story. During his presidency, Trump rolled back some provisions of the Clean Water Act, eased regulations on coal, oil and gas companies and pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord. When wildfires struck California in 2020, Trump dismissed the scientific consensus that climate change had played a role. Trump also dismissed scientists’ warnings about climate change and routinely proposed deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency.

TRUMP: “The problem they have is 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.”

THE FACTS: Trump inaccurately referred to abortions after birth. Infanticide is criminalized in every state, and no state has passed a law that allows killing a baby after birth.

TRUMP on Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Russia: “He should have had him out a long time ago, but Putin’s probably asking for billions and billions of dollars because this guy pays it every time.”

THE FACTS: Trump is wrong to say that Biden pays any sort of fee “every time” to secure the release of hostages and wrongfully detained Americans. There’s also zero evidence that Putin is asking for any money in order to free Gershkovich. Just like in the Trump administration, the deals during the Biden administration that have brought home hostages and detainees involved prisoner swaps -- not money transfers.

How many more do you need, 'cause there are lots.

Trump did offer 10,000 national guardsmen. The rest is bullshit.

Concern Escalates As Trump Increasingly Appears out of Touch​

Why is he not keeping up with current events?

Are they not briefing him?

Is he incapable of remembering or understanding the briefings?

Or does he just not care, being concentrated on his agenda of revenge and destruction?

Concerns are mounting over President Donald Trump’s ability, willingness, or even interest in engaging with the most pressing issues facing the country, as he increasingly—and casually—admits to being unaware of critical matters. His repeated declarations of ignorance, often delivered without hesitation or concern, have deepened alarm among critics who warn of a dangerous void in informed leadership in the Oval Office.


Late Wednesday afternoon, a reporter asked President Trump, “Have you been briefed about the soldiers in Lithuania? Who are missing?”

The Commander-in-Chief, appearing both uninformed and unconcerned, simply replied, “No I haven’t.” And moved on to take a question from another reporter.

I noticed while trump was being interviewed about the Signal chat debacle he kept saying he didn't know anything about the answers to questions being asked. At one point making the uninformed claim the app was defective.

Here's the thing. He ran to stay out of jail. Now he wants to play golf, let the designers of P2025 tear down the country bit by bit, and stay uninformed about the details.

Joe Biden oversaw the strongest economic recovery of any nation post COVID-19 and one of the strongest economic recoveries in United States history, set a 70-year record for low unemployment, and the created over 16 million new jobs, the most of any single term president.

Keep you chin up though, tRump is setting a record in tanking the US economy as we speak!

People going back to work isn't creating jobs. Oh and he lied about over 800,000 jobs, record inflation, and energy prices almost doubled. Nice try.

 

[jknowgood]

Nope.

Core inflation ticks up, with PCE report showing prices rising faster than economists had forecast

A closely watched measure of inflation shows that prices excluding fuel and food ticked up in February. Here's what to know.

EDIT: interest rates drop when the economy gets weaker, BTW.

Yes inflation is lowering, gas prices and interest rates are lowering.

 

[jknowgood]

Are you kidding? We are sliding into recession even as we speak.

Do see it where I live.

 

[jknowgood]

Telling lies for hours doesn't prove anything, and Biden has been known to be long-winded. But Biden is not the president now, and Biden is not the one who is proposing crazy stuff that makes no sense, which is messing up our country domestically and internationally.

Lol, you go with that.

 

[jknowgood]

1%

Still winning, and the American people chose it.

 

[jknowgood]

I don't have to show you lie for lie just because yurpunk ass wntsto worship this idiot. Trump is a liar. Trump is recorded to have told over 30,000 lies during his first term, and he's lying about almost everything now.

Show us the evidence of a stolen 2020 election.

When they shut the polls down, not one vote went to Trump.

Actually Sweden didn't do so great. Biden had people refusing to get vaccinated and dying because of what trump said. Your last sentence shows how dumb you are. Trump started with zero deaths and infections, and by the time he was gone, in less than a year, he had 25 million infections and more than 500,000 deaths. Millions of people were dying from the infections they got during Trump's term as Biden took office. So your comment is disingenuous, and you really need to stop repeating it because it makes you dumber than you usually are.

Well thousands of those deaths were from Cuomo putting covid positive patients into nursing home. Also, is you committed suicide with covid they marked as they died from covid.

The mistake was the election of this morn. nd YOU are going to learn that the hard way.

Last November was the first time in all the presidential elections dating back to 1972 that I abstained. Now I will admit in a good number of those in between I cast of protest vote of by selecting a non-major party candidate. But that never got anywhere so this last time I skipped over the choice between Tweetledum and Tweetledee.

Harris beat trumps ass. That's why he started whining bout being triple-teamed and ran from a second debate with here. She destroyed him.

Yet Trump won the election.....taking every swing state.

 

[IM2]

Yet Trump won the election.....taking every swing state.

Trump won by 1.5 percent.

 

[westwall]

Trump won by 1.5 percent.

A LANDSLIDE! 312-226. Plus the popular vote, plus the Senate, plus the House.

Your dumb ***** got shellacked. Not because she is black, or a woman, but because she is a moron who couldn't put two coherent sentences together.

If you couldn't see that Harris was the far better candidate, you are part of the problem in this nation. We stay misinformed because we don't do the research necessary and because of that we are here.

The second you, or your sock post a truthful sentence, will be the day that Hell freezes over.
