A Fact Check of Trump’s Lies at the Last Fox News Town Hall

“I wasn’t planning on doing a full fact check of the many lies Trump told during his last town hall on Fox News last week but once I got started I couldn’t stop. I openly admit I might have missed a few as he lies which such frequency it’s difficult to keep up or catch every false statement.

Trump not only exaggerated this record about his time as president he also completely invented scenarios from his twisted imagination. I figured this article will be a useful resource as he will likely repeat these same falsehoods and add to more lies before the general election in November.

Buckle up. This is a long list.”

Trump versus the truth: The most outrageous falsehoods of his presidency

““I have never seen a president in American history who has lied so continuously and so outrageously as Donald Trump, period,” presidential historian Michael Beschloss said.”

2023 Lies:

What used to be my GOP is now a party of liars.

George Santos: The latest — and lamest — product of the normalization of lying

“During his four years as president, according to the Washington PostDonald Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims, an average of 21 per day. Since Trump left office, his false statements — big and small — keep on coming. As he declared his intention to run for president in 2024, for example, Trump boasted, “I’ve gone decades, decades, without a war, the first president to do it for a long period.”

George Santos (R-N.Y.), the newly elected representative of New York’s 3rd Congressional district, is the latest — and lamest — product of this normalization of lying. Ironically, however, Santos, an election denier who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, has not fully implemented key components of the Trump World’s playbook.”

“Is Anna Paulina Luna the new George Santos?”

Another GOP freshman has been accused of lying on his resume. Blame Trump.

“Rep. Andy Ogles has become the third House Republican freshman to face questions about his biography.”

Trump lies a lot!

He lied:

Sad Facebook, SAD!

THE END OF TRUTH

“Several factors converged over two decades to destroy many Americans’ belief in professional journalists reporting the facts: in 1987 the FCC revoked the Fairness Doctrine, sparking the birth of conservative talk radio; 1991 saw the birth of the World Wide Web, a bottomless source of unfiltered, free information ready to be passed on to others; in 1996, the nakedly partisan Fox News, and its rival, MSNBC, were launched; conspiracist Alex Jones radio show was syndicated nationally in 2001; 2004 witnessed the birth of Facebook and the explosion of an unregulated social media that would become the primary source of information for many. Almost simultaneously, thousands of newspapers began to close across the country.”

This https://twitter.com/Franklin_Graham Facebook Post is NOT aging well!

“There’s a definite attitude—a dangerously wrong misperception—that lying is justified if it benefits you or your cause. America will not survive if our leaders continue to lie to the American people. This is all part of the “new morality” that the progressives and Hollywood would like us to roll over and accept. God’s Word tells us that He detests “lying lips.” When public officials take the oath of office, part of that should be to “tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth” during their time in office. We need to elect politicians who will tell the truth. We don’t need a new morality, we need true morality–God’s morality.”
