Here are a handful of issues:
"But then we signed a little law. You hurt our monuments, you hurt our heroes, you go to jail for 10 years and everything stopped. You notice that? It stopped. It all stopped.”
This is a lie. Trump frequently suggests he passed a new law but he signed no such bill.
“We took care of the vets, 91 percent approval rating."
That was based on a 2013 survey. Under Trump it had dropped to 82%.
"We approved a record number of affordable generic drugs for three years in a row.”
This is based on the passing of GDUFA in 2012, but increases have not yet been realized.
"We also unlocked our energy resources and became the world's number one producer of oil and natural gas.”
False. This is taking credit for measures taken during the Obama administration.
“Remember, I used to say in the old days, don't go in Iraq, but if you go and keep the oil, we didn't keep the oil.”
There is no evidence of this for us to remember. Trump supported the invasion in interviews until 2004.
“We also got tax cuts, the largest tax cut and reform in the history of our country, by far", "We got you the biggest tax cuts in history, right.”
This is a lie. Reagan's was a greater tax cut
"One of the things we're very, very proud of is the selection of almost three hundred federal judges and three great Supreme Court justices.That's a very big number. That's a record-setting number.”. Repeated 84 times
False. Clinton set the record (367)
"They went through taxes. They went through everything.”
But they didn't
"Gallup: 56% of the U.S. is more satisfied with conditions now, even during a pandemic (we are rounding the turn!), than they were 4 years ago under Obama/Biden. Hasn’t been equaled in recent times!”
Not a lie...just funny because the same poll showed 56% believed he was not suitable for reelection.
"One of the things we're very, very proud of is the selection of almost three hundred federal judges and three great Supreme Court justices.That's a very big number. That's a record-setting number.” (Repeated 84 times)
False. Clinton has the record (367). Then Reagan (358). Then Bush (322). Trump appointed 226. Carter appointed 261 in his 1 term.
“Before I became president, the great state of Michigan was hemorrhaging your car companies and your car businesses....Plants were closing and moving to Mexico and many other places. You know that. You know that better than anybody. There had been new, no new plants had been built in Michigan in decades and decades before I got here.”
This is a lie. Automobile manufacturing plants were built in Michigan between 2012 and 2018.
“...along with more than 450 miles of powerful new wall"
40 miles had actually been built.
“Everybody was successful. Best numbers for unemployment, African-American, Hispanic American.”
This is false. Even before the pandemic unemployment was not at a record low under Trump.
“You have auto plants, so many, you have -- You didn't have one in 42 years, and now you have 17, and going up, and they're going so fast, I don't know.”
This is a lie (even if restricted to Michigan).
"You have incredible contractors in Georgia, military contractors, and they got -- any of our money. Spent $2.5 trillion.”
False.
“That says it all about Mattis. Obama fired him. I should have fired him sooner. Did best work after he was gone. World's most overrated general!”
False. Obama did not fire Mattis.
“We're going to the southern border. As you know, we've completed the wall.”
Uh....no.
“That's why [regulation cuts] we have such good, and have had such good, job numbers. The job numbers have been absolutely incredible.”
False. Trump is the first president since WW2 to leave office with fewer people employed than when he took office. COVID was an issue here, but the statement is a lie
“We built almost 500 miles of wall.”
40 miles were built.
"Trump was combining several years of military funding and the actual amount was significantly less.
to everything else for our warriors in a decade.”
False. Congress passed a military pay raise, but this was greater than Trump recommended.
“We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world…Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world."
Except the economy was better under Clinton.
“NATO countries are now paying hundreds of billions of dollars more than when I arrived just a few years ago. It was very unfair. We were paying the cost for the world. Now the world is helping us.”
This is false. Trump had inflated the amount the US paid.
“Perhaps most importantly of all, with nearly three trillion dollars, we fully rebuilt the American military, all made in the USA.”
False. Only 20% was actually spent on rebuilding the military.
"We slashed more job killing regulations than any administration had ever done before.” And "the regulation reductions, the greatest in history".
This should be applied to Carter.
“Biden will ....close down your factories, send your jobs overseas.”
False accusation. Biden has decreased factories being sent overseas.
"We've created the greatest economy in history.”
Eisenhower, Johnson, and Clinton had better economies.
"Used to take 20 years to get a highway approved, wow we're down to two. I want to get it down to one but we're down to two.”
No. It took 4.6 to 6.6 years.
“We created a record 11.4 million jobs in the last five months"
False. These were not created jobs but jobs recovered after the shutdown (businesses reopening).
"The world respects us again. Please don't lose that respect.”
False. The international view of the US continued to decline under Trump.
“You notice they [Democrats] never criticize China, right? They never cr -- It's Russia, Russia, Russia.”
False. Pelosi and Schumer were very critical of China.
“I like Bill Barr but he changed because he didn't want to be considered my personal attorney.”
Just strange. The AG is not supposed to be the Presidents personal attorney.
"Wisconsin had the best year that they've ever had last year.”
This was simply false.
"A great launch! @NASA was a closed up disaster when we took over. Now it is again the "hottest", most advanced, space center in the world, by far!”
This was actually Obama's program Trump inherited.
