1. “I think our country right now is in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in from an economic standpoint…”

That’s an opinion, you can’t “fact check” an opinion……you can disagree with it.

2. “…from a safety standpoint, both gangs on the street…”

Still part of the same sentence of the opinion, which they fail to really refute anyway

3. “...and frankly, gangs outside of our country in the form of other countries that are, frankly, very powerful. They’re very powerful countries.”

Still part of the initial sentence, they cite Afghanistan, but fail to mention China, which I would argue Trump is really referring to.

4-5. “We have a lot of bad things coming up. You could end up in a Depression of the 1929 variety, which would be a devastating thing, took many years– took many decades to recover from it, and we’re very close to that.”

“Could” opinion again. Ok it didn’t takes decades to recover, but it took a decade.

6. “And we’re very close to a world war. In my opinion, we’re very close to a world war.”

Opinion, not a lie.

I could go on and on, that article and the so called “fact checking” is absolutely laughable as to be comedic

It’s full of this:

24. “We've agreed with NBC, fairly full agreement, subject to them, on Sept. 10th.”

This is ABC, not NBC.

Wow …lock him up.

25. “She can't do an interview. She's barely competent and she can't do an interview.”

Harris hasn’t done interviews since getting into the campaign, but she has done them in the past, so saying “she can’t do” one or that she is “barely competent” are just insults.

So he’s not wrong here, just insulting.

A wager, Hugh saw a great headline, but then never actually read the supposed lies and untruths being reported, if you had, I doubt you would posted it.

And again as for me simping for Trump, Again. I’m just not swallowing wholesale a lot of the crap that is being fed out……….unlike some, by the looks of it.

Some more belters from that lying sum’ma,bitch.

30. “The most unpopular vice president.”

This might have been true about a year ago or so, but not anymore.

31. “Don't forget, she was the first one defeated. As I remember it, because I watched it very closely, but she was the first one.”

Harris was not “defeated,” because she dropped out of the Democratic presidential race before Iowa.

36-39. They're going to hit you hard. ‘Either we can do it the nice way. I heard, I know exactly, because I know a lot of people on the other side, believe it or not. And, they said, ‘We'll do it the nice way, or we'll do it the hard way.’ And he said, ‘All right.”

This was not said; he did not hear; no Democrats in the know are talking to Trump; and this dialogue is made up.

It’s been widely reported that Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, went to see Biden and gave him that ultimatum.

52. “Now we have the worst border in the history of the world.”

World history is filled with cases where one country has crossed a border and invaded a neighboring country.

And? Is that a fact check?

62. “She couldn't pass her bar exam.”

This is false. Harris passed her bar exam on the second try. She failed on first attempt, which is not unusual for California’s bar exam given its difficulty.

63. “I was doing very well with Black voters, and I still am. I seem to be doing very well with black males. This is according to polls, as you know.

Trump was not doing “very well” with Black voters. Biden was not doing as well with Black voters as he did in 2020, according to most surveys, but that didn’t mean Black voters were moving heavily toward Trump. Many seemed more likely not to vote. There were signs that Trump was doing better with Black men

?..

64. “Extremely well with Hispanic.”

Like with Black voters, it’s difficult to tell in most national surveys exactly how well a candidate is doing with Latino voters because of high margins of error. “Extremely well” depends on how it’s defined, but this is an exaggeration.

Well they haven’t defined the metric of extremely, so not a fact check


Anyway.


Not a fact check by any definition.
