When someone does respond, they are simply repeating a Democratic falsehood. And there are plenty of them. During the 2024 presidential debate, Kamala Harris reiterated their assertion that Trump threatened a "bloodbath" in America. That was untrue! The only remark Trump made regarding a bloodbath was about the potential for China to take over our auto industry.
Conversely, Democrats spent four years lying about the Steele dossier and Russian collusion, four years misrepresenting Joe Biden's health, lying about inflation, lying about January 6th, and eight years denying Hunter Biden's laptop's existence.
The Washington Post claims that President Trump made 30,573 "false or misleading claims" during his presidency. They pointed to his statement, "we built the greatest economy in the history of the world." as a major falsehood.
To fact-check Trump, the Post misrepresented the truth. They omitted facts such as purchasing power, the dollar's value, unemployment rates, interest rates, resource availability, and energy independence, and focused on his Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which suffered from the Covid-19 outbreak. They went back decades to the 1950s and 1960s, finding some GDP percentages that were better than Trump's, thus labeling his statement as "false." That is the essence of a lie.
In 2019, the economy was indeed "great." Inflation was at 1.2%, unemployment was at its lowest since 1969 at 3.6%, interest rates were at 3.5%, and all three stock market indices rose over 20%. The deficit was at $984 billion and the national debt at $7.2 trillion.
In his first State of the Union Address, Joe Biden looked directly at Americans and lied to them. "Let me remind you again: I reduced the federal deficit. All the talk about the deficit from my Republican friends, I love it. I’ve reduced the deficit in my first year in office." Joe Biden had not reduced the deficit. Covid-19 relief spending, which pushed the deficit to $3.1 trillion, had ended, but his deficit remained at $2.8 trillion, nearly three times Donald Trump's deficit.
Joe Biden lied again in his 2024 State of the Union Address. "The economy has grown more since I took office than at this point in any presidential term in the last 25 years. We have the strongest economy in the world. Let me say it again, in the world." No one fact-checked Joe Biden, but inflation had risen to 4.7 percent, with some food prices increasing by 40 percent and energy prices up 100 percent. Interest rates doubled to 6.8%, and the national debt skyrocketed from $7.2 trillion to $34 trillion. The interest on our national debt exceeded $1 trillion.
Democrats misrepresent their economy and claim it is too complex for the public to understand, but understand this: In a healthy economy, you can afford necessities, some luxuries, and have savings. Jobs are available, borrowing is manageable, energy is affordable, and taxes are reasonable.
Democrats predicted that the S&P 500 would fall by half if Donald Trump enacted his policies, but stocks instead surged. Trump tweeted "Think of what will happen to your now beautiful 401-k's!", regarding his policies on October 21, 2018. NBC News labeled this a Trump Lie, stating "nearly half of Americans may not have a retirement plan at all." That reasoning is absurd and irrelevant.
Democrats lied about Trump's tax cuts. Kamala Harris perpetuated the falsehood during the 2024 presidential debate when she claimed, "it’s all about tax breaks for the richest people." In reality, his tax cuts reduced taxes for 8 out of 10 (76%) U.S. taxpayers, and the 1.6 million taxpayers who reported earnings of $500,000 or more contributed an additional $16 billion in taxes.
Trump's tax cuts doubled the Standard Deduction to $6,200, lowered all low-income tax brackets from previous years, and expanded the child tax credit. Trump did reduce the corporate tax rate from 38% to 22%, but corporations returned over $1 trillion to the U.S. economy from foreign banks, with Apple Corporation alone contributing $32 billion.
Home Depot, employing 400,000 individuals, announced it would provide a one-time cash bonus of up to $1,000 to all U.S. hourly associates. Fifteen other corporations also distributed $1,000 bonuses to over 700,000 employees. No wonder Democrats continue to misrepresent Donald Trump's tax cuts.
NBC claimed that Trump lied about Covid-19. "Just stay calm. It will go away.", Trump said on March 10, 2020. They label this a lie because how could Trump have known so early in the pandemic that the virus would disappear? My question to them is this; how did they know it wouldn't?
As Donald Trump rushed to replenish pandemic supplies depleted by Barack Obama and to secure a vaccine, Democrats incited panic. Based on Dr. Fauci's changing testimonies, they were compelled to tell one lie after another. Their falsehoods devastated a thriving economy and made life unbearable for millions.
California and New York were the first to impose lockdowns and confine citizens to their homes. When Republicans warned that lockdowns would be more destructive than anything the coronavirus could inflict, Democrats labeled them as greedy capitalists who only cared about profits.
Democrats and their media allies concealed health data, leading many to believe they would die if they left their homes. They misrepresented nursing home deaths, which accounted for 80 percent of fatalities in some states. They also miscounted deaths by including pneumonia, flu, and probable covid deaths as "confirmed" Covid-19 deaths.
Everyone should have remained calm, exercised reasonable caution, applied common sense, and awaited the vaccines developed in 2020. All the lockdowns, masks, and social distancing did not lead to Covid-"going away" any faster. California remained locked down a year longer than Florida.
"Voter fraud is not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact." Trump stated on December 24, 2020. Democrats assert that voter fraud does not exist. However, no U.S. government agency has ever compiled data on voter fraud. An analysis by election experts indicates that fraud does occur, concluding that "fraud is slightly more common with mail-in voting than in-person voting at polling places."
I wouldn't expect Democrats to question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, but it experienced the largest increases on record in every aspect of a presidential election. It saw 17 million more people voting than in 2016, a 73% increase in nontraditional voting compared to 2016, and an unprecedented 92% turnout among registered voters.
Many states maintained traditional voting methods, while some expanded early voting, and others automatically mailed ballots to all registered voters. Mail-in ballots accounted for 46% of all votes cast, and I would like to believe that election judges diligently verified the signatures of every mail-in ballot before counting them, as Democrats claim, because Joe Biden won only 506 counties out of 3,006 counties.
CNN argues that Donald Trump's lies had deadly consequences. They falsely claim that there were five deaths associated with the January 6th demonstration. However, after months of misinformation, the only death attributed to the demonstration was Ashly Babbit, who was shot by a Capitol police officer.
The lies that did have deadly consequences were those surrounding the Black Lives Matter riots of May 2020, which Democrats desperately tried to hide from the public. The extreme violence and destruction resulted in 25 fatalities. BLM protestors set fire to 1,500 buildings, leaving 10,000 people homeless in Portland. In Minneapolis, damages exceeded $500 million, and 150 buildings were set ablaze.
On a national scale, property damage was estimated at $2 billion. Police vehicles and stations were firebombed, courthouses were vandalized, banks were looted, and ATMs were ripped from walls. Pharmacies were raided for drugs. Police officers were instructed to stand down even while being shot at, run over, slashed with knives, and beaten. Two police officers were killed in cold blood.
Kamala Harris worked to secure the release of those arrested, ensuring that no one was prosecuted. Nancy Pelosi's Judiciary Committee repeatedly and unanimously lied that the riots never occurred during a hearing against AG Bill Barr.
Remember this: During the Trump administration, there were no wars. Under Barack Obama, Americans lost their lives in Benghazi, Al-Qaeda and ISIS thrived, and Putin invaded Ukraine. Under Joe Biden, Americans lost their lives in Afghanistan, Hamas and Hezbollah flourished, and Putin invaded Ukraine again.
Bill Clinton lied about Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones. Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi, her server, and Russian collusion. Barack Obama lied about the NSA, the IRS, Solyndra, and the cost of Obamacare.
Joe Biden falsely claimed he created more jobs than any other president. In 2019, the unemployment rate was 3.5%, the lowest it had been since 1969. During the Covid-19 lockdowns, unemployment soared to 14 percent. When unemployment returned to 3.5%, it was not due to Joe; it was tens of millions of individuals returning to work after Covid lockdowns.
Kamala Harris effectively lied for four years, covering up President Joe Biden's declining health. It's no wonder Democrats view her as Wonder Woman. She lies, with a straight face and a giggle, about Republicans, the U.S. Constitution, Project 2025, guns, the border, fracking, ninth-month abortions, and she responds to every question about the economy with "I grew up a middle-class kid..."
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats have lied, falsified, and concealed information that has devastated the lives of millions and destroyed one of the greatest economies in our history. When logic or common sense warns against a lie, they label it a "conspiracy theory."
Their lies have fostered hatred, encouraged evil behavior and rhetoric, and promoted assassinations. Their falsehoods will strip away your freedom of choice, private ownership, and create life-threatening energy shortages.
When comparing Democrat lies to Trump lies, it becomes clear why the question "What Trump lie bothered you the most?" elicits a confused stare.
P.S. (Sept 24, 2024)
If you thought the Democrats were against foreign influence in our elections, aka Russian Collusion, you've been lied too again. The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has been here in the USA campaigning for Kamala Harris!
