Fact check: Trump, 15 false claims over 76 minutes

Sabre said:
CNN reports... CNN has been anti-trump every since he was elected, CNN cut their coverage when the 20,000 + people there started chanting CNN sucks. Sorry Calamity (not), 20,000 disagree with your charge of mentally disturbed and this is just the start.

Those pathetic people - for a large part - are mentally disturbed supporters of the mentally disturbed president.
 
76 minutes is a good start for our President to get re elected. There's no chance Joey Biden will win. I know it's too early but come on,lets get real.
 
CNN ratings are in the toilet............ Their hate Trump BS 7/24 has taken a heavy toll on them.
They are so invested in trying to destroy the president they resort to nonsense like this.....

That's a lot of whoppers.

I'm still somewhat amazed (much less today than I was a year ago) that his supporters like being lied to so often. I'd consider it insulting my intelligence if the guy I backed lied to me over 10 times per hour.

What gives with this? Why do they accept it?

Sigh. That doesn't even seem like a lot anymore. :(

It's higher than his daily average, but on most days we aren't treated to 76 minutes of his spew, so on a minute by minute basis it may have been one of his better showings.

Poor Trump. He's just an innocent victim of the media.

The reality is Trump is a liar and he's corrupt. His campaign manager is in prison, his lawyer and "fixer" is in prison. Those are facts.

I generally don’t rely on site like this.

And I don’t get my news from television. I only turn it on to see what people are being told, and how receptive they are.

Watching any part of the Trump rally last night was appalling.

Of course, he lied and race baited openly. We all expected that.

But what was really frightening was watching Sham Hammity spit and spew the vilest sort of vitriolic nonsense afterwards. I don’t normally watch Fox at all, (although I do listen to their feed on Serius during the day, to see what they are telling people).

Fox is a full fledge Ministry of Propoganda at this point..

And while Nazi comparisons aren’t much welcome (or always applicable), Hannity sounded a lot like Goebells after one of Hitler’s speeches. Both in tone, and hyperbolic nonsensical substance.

I didn’t think I would every hear commentary like that in the United States of America, ever.

If you go back to the RNC convention in 2016, Trump began that campaign using the same rhetoric. I had never heard anyone running for public office crank up the hate like that. It made me sick. Yesterday, from the little I've seen, he's gotten even better at that. That is not what America stands for.

I am glad you grasp some of the humor in the situation.

However, there is nothing false or amusing about the spying rhetoric. That is cold serious and it does not come from President Trump.

The "spying" meme didn't come from Trump? Then who did it come from? Trump was the only one saying this, followed swiftly by known liar Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Ms "Alternative Facts" Conway. It's bull****, Jay. The investigation began with George Papadopoulous, with fuel added by the many contacts between known Russian operatives who were already under surveillance and senior members of the Trump campaign.

You're right, it isn't amusing. And Trump has already blatantly told us that he will do it again, accept help from foreign agents. And why not? He got away with it once, right? Who do you want your president answerable to? We the people, or Vladimir Putin?
 
Trump said:
bull**** it was legitimate investigation...Durham will expose. stop believing corrupt agency heads that have been replaced or fired ...Brennan Comey McCabe Strzok....all dirty LE

Stop telling me what to believe and actually look at the facts for once, because wherever you're getting your information, they are lying to you.

He ran with his interpretation of a conspiracy theory which was circulating at the time. I had thought it was his misinterpretation of something Tucker Carlson said, but Wikipedia says Breitbart.

you say Papadopoulous started this....didn't Australian Ambassador alert Obama? isn't that taking information from a foreign agent? just saying:lol:

He's a chronic exaggerator, which is different. It is common but not accurate to claim his exaggerations are lies. Also, some of his biggest stretches turned out to be true, eg the FBI really was spying on him.

The ****head claimed he saw "thousands of Muslims cheering the fall of the twin towers on 9/11". For years he claimed Obama was foreign-born, the racist ****ing prick.

These are real lies that do real harm. You either don't know the difference between a lie and an exaggeration or you're delusional.

Please take your right-wing blinders off pal and join us in the real world.

Heya Trix.

I'd like to argue...not enough said. I am curious to understand which of the claims made by CNN you would refute. :)

Just my educated guess, you will not get an answer to this question... maybe a "but Obama" but no answer...

CNN isn't the only one keeping track of his lies. What matters more to you, the fact that he lies, or who sources and verifies the lies? Oh that's right, Trump told you "don't believe what you read, don't believe what you see, and don't believe what you hear."

I don't see a link to Fox News reporting on the misrepresentations made at the rally. Why wouldn't they want to inform the viewers of the facts? :roll:

Why bother factchecking Trump? Everyone knows he's a chronic liar. His base doesn't care, and the rest of the conservatives just find our outrage endlessly entertaining.

How many times did he mention Hillary? Did anyone count?

He got the dumb asses to chant Lock Her Up and some seemed actually rabid...

So if he says steel mills are roaring back, right after an announcement that they are closing due to tariffs....is that an exaggeration or a lie?
 
Lovebug said:
I hear they didn't air the speech. They must have sent some pimple face to listen and take notes though. How else would they come up with these stats?
Trump speaks to his crowd. It is all good. It isn't like he was trying to convince the rabid AOC crowd of anything.

What amazed me was how many people waited in line for such a long time. That is dedication. Hot, humid, rain. That's some tough cookies.
Click to expand...

It wasn't a speech. It was a political campaign rally. Also, just because they did not air the rally does not mean they did not cover it with more than a "pimple face."
Trump rallies the crowd with BS. That should be upsetting to any intelligent Republican.
 
iguanaman said:
WTF cares how many people were "waiting in line"? The important fact is that Trump is down 9 points against Biden in Florida. He's not winning.

And then the Orlando Sentinel (reliably Republican) made their early endorsement of "NOT DONALD TRUMP" lol
