Moreover, noting that Americans were “horrified” by the assault on the Capitol this month, he ignored the encouragement he had given beforehand to the crowd and his praise of the attackers as other “very special” people while they were still looting the seat of power.

A look at some of his statements on Tuesday:

COVID-19 [woman

TRUMP: “Another management would have taken three, four, five, even up to 10 years to expand a vaccine. We did it in nine months.

THE FACTS: In fact, the administration has developed any vaccine, pharmaceutical corporations have. And one of america’s two corporations is a major corporation. But it’s not the first time That launched used vaccines lately received government progress money.

Trump’s claim that a vaccine would have taken years under another management stretches credulity. COVID-19 vaccines were remarkably fast, but other countries have also developed them. A vaccine opposed to coronavirus is not a unique achievement of the United States, Trump said. Administration.

U. S. drug manufacturer Pfizer developed its vaccine in partnership with BioNTech in Germany, avoiding federal progression money, while benefiting from Washington’s expected commitment to buying giant quantities if the vaccine is successful. A modern U. S. vaccine is also widely used.

But the British AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is given in several countries and vaccines in China and Russia are also of limited use. More than a dozen possible vaccines are found in the latter stages around the world.

Veterans

TRUMP: “We succeeded at VA Choice. “

THE FACTS: No, he didn’t approve the Choice program, but President Barack Obama. Trump expanded it. The program allows veterans to download outdoor health care under the Veterans Affairs formula under certain conditions. Trump has tried to credit Obama’s good fortune at times.

tax

TRUMP: “We have followed the package of tax cuts and reforms in American history. “

FACTS: Their tax cuts are close to the biggest in American history.

This is a $1. 5 trillion tax cut in 10 years. As a percentage of the economy in general, a tax cut of this length ranks 12th, according to President Ronald Reagan’s 1981 Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. President Ronald Reagan’s 1981 relief was the largest, followed by the 1945 tax cuts that financed World War II.

Post-Reagan tax cuts are also among the highs from an old point of view: President George W’s cuts. Bush in the early 2000s and its renewal through Obama a decade later.

Economy

TRUMP: “We have built the largest economy in the history of the world. “

THE FACTS: No, the figures show he’s not the biggest in American history and he’s the first president since Herbert Hoover in the Depression to leave the workplace with fewer jobs than in his early days.

Did the United States have the maximum number of jobs before the pandemic?Of course, the population had increased. The pre-recession unemployment rate of 3. 5% at its lowest point in part of a century, however, the percentage of other people running or looking for paints is still below the 2000 peak.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer tested Trump’s record for economic expansion: growth averaged 2. 48% a year before the pandemic, just above the 2. 41% gains that marked Obama’s term at the time. 4. 2% consistent with the year.

TRUMP: “We’ve revived task creation in the United States and reached a record unemployment rate for African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, almost everyone.

FACTS: Not a ignition. Job creation slowed in 2017, the first year of Trump’s tenure, to about $2 million, up from Obama’s $2. 5 million last year.

Low unemployment rates refer to a pre-Pandemic economy that no longer exists. The pandemic charged the U. S. economy with 10 million tasks and made Trump the first president since Herbert Hoover to oversee a loss of duties. in Trump’s inauguration and lost 140,000 tasks in December, and job losses have fallen disproportionately on black Americans, Hispanics, and women.

TRUMP: “We rebuilded the U. S. production base, opened thousands of new factories, and retrieved the word Made in the USA. “

FACTS: That’s an exaggeration. There are now 60,000 fewer production jobs in the United States than when Trump took office. Despite the progress made before the pandemic, the production base had been precisely “rebuilt”.

Before the coronavirus, nearly 500,000 production jobs were added under Trump, slightly more than the nearly 400,000 earned at the time of Obama’s tenure. However, even before the pandemic, the United States had 4. 3 million fewer factory jobs than in 2001, when China joined the world. Trade Organization and an avalanche of less expensive imports from that country entered the United States.

CAPITOL OF INSURRECTION

TRUMP: “All Americans were horrified by the attack on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. This can never be tolerated.

THE FACTS: This would possibly sum up most Americans’ reaction, but ignore their own contribution to stoking the anger of their followers before they level the violent tumult.

For months, Trump falsely claimed that the November election had been stolen, then invited his supporters to Washington and they to the Capitol with the exhortation to “fight like hell. “

With the uprising still ongoing and the speed of the obvious video attack and reports from the scene, Trump released a video telling them to “go home now” while repeating “it’s a fraudulent choice,” adding, “We love them. you’re very special. “

The House of Representatives accused Trump of inciting the insurgency. Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, a four-year-old Trump political best friend, said Tuesday that Trump supporters were “fed with lies” and “provoked by the president and others. “

China

TRUMP: “We have imposed old and monumental price lists in China . . . Our relations with the industry were evolving rapidly, billions and billions of dollars entered the United States, but the virus forced us in a different direction.

THE FACTS: It’s a false and familiar statement.

It is to recommend that the United States never imposed price lists on Chinese products before acting. Tariffs on Chinese products are higher in some cases than before. It is also to recommend that price lists be paid through China.

The cash from tariffs entering government coffers comes basically from U. S. companies and consumers, not China. Tariffs are essentially, if not completely, a tax paid on the domestic market.

ISLAMIC STATE

TRUMP: “We’ve erased the IS caliphate. “

THE FACTS: Your suggestion of a 100 percent defeat is misleading because the Organization of the Islamic State still poses a threat.

ISIS defeated in Iraq in 2017, then lost the last of its land in Syria in March 2019, marking the end of the self-proclaimed extremist caliphate. However, extremist sleeper cells have continued to launch attacks in Iraq and Syria in recent weeks and are believed to be guilty of targeted killings opposed to local officials and members of the Syrian Democratic Forces.

Continued attacks are a sign that the militant organization is profiting from governments in a different way focused on the pandemic and the consequent slide into economic chaos. The virus exacerbates long-standing considerations among security experts and non-experts about the return of the organization.
