FACT CHECK: Trump resurfaces debunked claims in speech

Despite promising "the truth, and nothing else" in his convention speech, Donald Trump presented the nation with a series of previously debunked claims and some new ones Thursday night - about the U.S. tax burden, the perils facing police, Hillary Clinton's record and more.

    You were the one who showed me the New Yorker interview with his ghost writer, right?

      Nope but I was about to post that here! It's a great article.

        It's a great article because it showcases just how much Trump can convince himself that anything is true. He actually believes he wrote Art of the Deal himself even though that is completely untrue.

    What's his rating on politifact again? Last I looked it was pretty bad.

    • ZerowantuthriJul 22, 2016 at 9:32 AMΔ

      Only 14% of his statements are deemed either "True" or "Mostly True" on Politifact.

      71% are "Mostly False", "False" or "Pants on Fire".

      So far the odds are that when Trump talks he is probably lying to you.

      For comparison Hillary Clinton has 51% "true" or "Mostly True" and 27% "Mostly False", "False" or "Pants on Fire" (only one "Pants on Fire" statement to Trump's 34).

        Shocked, absolutely shocked I say.

        Only 14% true?!

        Wow. Random seems like it would be more truthful than Trump.
