Many say they don't like trump but they support his policies. The only policy I see trump enforcing is his removal of brown folks. I think what most trump voters actually support are his promises which you might as well call lies. End the war on day one, bring down prices on day one, cut gasoline to 1.50 a gallon, none of which has been done, those policies apparently mean nothing to trump supporters.
Check out trump's claims...
WOLF BLITZER: Dan, you heard President Trump speak extensively during this, what, nearly 50-minute news conference. What stood out to you?
DANIEL DALE: Well, Wolf, that was like a mini greatest hits list of claims from President Trump that have been debunked for months, some of them for years. We heard him push his usual lie that he won the 2020 election. Of course, he lost fair and square.
He said we have already solved inflation. Inflation is actually rising. It was up to 2.9 percent in August, up from 2.7 percent in July. It’s the highest since January. He said, as he has repeatedly, that he inherited the worst inflation in U.S. history. He didn’t. He inherited 3 percent inflation, just above what it is now.
It was about a 41-year high in June 2022 under President Biden, but it then plummeted toward the end of the Biden administration. He repeated his favorite imaginary figure on U.S. aid to Ukraine, saying that we’re into that war for $350 billion. That figure is not even close to correct.
A think tank that closely tracks the issue puts U.S. aid at less than half of the president’s figure. He said again that China is paying a whole bunch of tariffs to the U.S. It is U.S. importers who pay those tariffs, often pass on the cost to U.S. consumers. He also repeated some of his favorite old January 6 nonsense. He said it has emerged it’s now clear that Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker, rejected his offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on that day.
In fact, there’s still no evidence that actually happened. He said, again, the January 6 House Select Committee deleted all its evidence, deleted all the records. In fact, in addition to a public report, Wolf, it released a huge volume, it preserved a huge volume of evidence.
And then he turned to immigration. He said he thinks 25 million migrants entered under President Biden. Even his 21 million figure from months ago wasn’t even close to true, more than double the truth, even if you don’t count the people who were quickly expelled from the country.
He repeated his claim that prisons in the Congo and Venezuela were emptied to release prisoners as migrants into the U.S. Neither he nor his campaign could ever provide any corroboration for that claim. And then this was just a gaffe, but I think worth noting, if people were confused.
He again said that he had a role in resolving a conflict between the countries of Azerbaijan and Albania. Of course, he means Armenia, not Albania.
BLITZER: Yes, that was a gaffe indeed. That jumped out at me when he said that as well.
