Some of Trump's lies...

-He exaggerated the size of trade deficits with Japan, China and the European Union and falsely claimed the United States loses money from such deficits.

-He said he had “nothing to hide” from the Russia investigation but refused to testify under oath.

-He continued his practice of inflating the jobs created under his administration by starting the count from the election, not his inauguration.

-He launched a series of exaggerated or false attacks on Democrats, including claiming the Green New Deal will require every building in Manhattan be replaced (no) and saying Democrats support the killing of healthy babies that have been born (no).

-He overstated the possible impact of the new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico in myriad ways and trashed the North American Free Trade Agreement, even though the differences are modest.

-He took credit for funding a program — the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative — his administration tried to eliminate.

-He made a series of false claims about immigration, such as “open borders bring tremendous crime” (there is no documented link between illegal immigration and crime).

-He claimed he passed the biggest tax cut in history (no) and he said he had cut the estate tax to “zero” (no).

-He said he was one vote away from repealing Obamacare (no).
(Trump tells this lie often, giving him an excuse to bash dec'd Sen John McCain)

-He falsely said the United States paid for “almost 100 percent” of NATO (no), that Saudi Arabia inked $450 billion in deals with the Trump administration (no) and even that the United States subsidizes the Saudi military (U.S. aid amounts to $10,000 a year).

-He even claimed that he insisted the new embassy in Jerusalem be made of Jerusalem stone even though ever since the British mandate in then-Palestine, municipal laws have required that all buildings must be faced with this local form of limestone that has a warm, golden hue.
