Trump Regales Elon Musk With Familiar Falsehoods

Fact-checking Donald Trump’s claims about immigration, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Biden and more.

“…

  • He claimed, with no evidence, that other countries take unauthorized immigrants “out of jails, prisons” and “bring them to the United States.” (Prison populations are increasing across the world.)
  • He claimed that crime in Venezuela had declined 72 percent because of an exodus of criminals into the United States. (The decrease is overstated, and there is no evidence that Venezuela had “gotten rid” of criminals.)
  • He asserted that Mr. Biden “shut down Keystone XL pipeline, which is our pipeline that would have employed 48,000 people.” (Mr. Biden did rescind a permit for the pipeline, which had a projected employment of 35 permanent jobs.)
  • He falsely described climate change as “where the ocean is going to rise one eight of eighth of an inch over the next 400 years.” (Under a worst-case scenario, sea levels could rise by as much as 10 meters by 2300, or nearly 33 feet, more than 3,100 times what Mr. Trump said.)
  • He exaggerated grocery price inflation as high as “50, 60, even 100 percent in some cases.” (The index that tracks grocery prices is up by about 20 percent since early 2021.)
  • He falsely claimed that inflation was the “worst inflation we’ve had in 100 years.” (Inflation reached 8 percent in 2022, the highest since 1981.)
  • He falsely claimed that bacon now cost “four or five times more than it did a few years ago.” (The average price of sliced bacon was $5.83 per pound in January 2021 and $6.83 per pound in June 2024.)

One of my best friends voted Trump in ‘16; then Biden in ‘20, he’s back to Trump in ‘24.

He supported GHW Bush in the 1980 GOP Primary…..even called Reaganomics Voodoo Economics as Bush did…..became and still is a huge proponent of trickle-down economics……HATED Obama. Don’t get him started on Obamacare or expanded child tax credits.

He’s professed to being a Christian his whole life (he and his family are generous to charities - particularly the Interfaith Council in Chapel Hill/Carrboro).

He lived in Manhattan in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s so he knows how big of a buffoon Trump is……but, Trump is a “businessman.” He’s a late ‘80’s Kenan-Flagler MBA.

Wild. There can’t be a huge overlap between Trump voters and Interfaith Council donors.
 
It’s interesting that he complains that no one puts their name to a statement when he doesn’t use his real name, which is really Huyen Cheung.
