Here are a few fact checks from the evil New York Times, which is hated by most Trumpers and will likely be deported.
He claims more people are working now than ever before. But the most recent jobs report shows that the unemployment rate is at its highest level since the end of his first term. Oops.
He claims he has cut drug prices by 400, 500 and 600%. A 100% cut would mean you are paying zero.
He said gas prices are $1.99 in many states. AAA states no states have gas prices that low. The national average is $2.90.
He's now giving a "warrior dividend" of $1,776 to every soldier from tariff revenue. He's also promised all of us tariff dividends of $2,000. He's also promised me $20,000 for my health care and a $5,000 DOGE check. I 'll keep looking in my mailbox because he wouldn't lie to me, would he?
He claims manufacturing is coming back "at levels we haven/t seen," but the truth is that factory construction has fallen this year.
If his goal was to reassure the American people, he failed. What he did instead was prove Abraham Lincoln's adage that "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
Trump is a confidence man who probably still is fooling some of the people all of the time, but he's no longer folling most of us.
