From yours: the YouTube of


2020-'23 violent crime down 15% (Trump's lie, it is out of control). Property crime down 7%. Trump says crime is up under Biden.

Another lie. Trump says Biden is "wrecking the energy business."
Energy production (combining fossil, nuclear and renewables) is at record levels under Biden.
And Trump says he will make America energy independent again. Again?
America has been energy independent for 5 years. And has produced more oil than any country in history.

Trump's oft repeated "drill baby drill" is actually a pat on Biden's back, for what Biden is doing now.

More lies on tax cut and deficit. Trump says he gave the "biggest tax cut in history." And cut the deficit.
Trump's tax cuts actually helped him increase the deficit, even before covid.
Then covid hit. Biden is bringing the deficit down.

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the
pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-biggest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration, according to a calculation by a leading Washington budget maven, Eugene Steuerle, co-founder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. And unlike George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln, who oversaw the larger relative increases in deficits, Trump did not launch two foreign conflicts or have to pay for a civil war.

Trump lies now as he lied about his economy as he did in 2019:

Steven Rattner’s Morning Joe Charts: Debunking Trump’s Inflated Economic Claims

June 25, 2019

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe today, Steven Rattner presented charts debunking Trump’s latest claims that the economy under his tenure is the strongest in history or even better than under his immediate predecessor.

Donald Trump’s interview Sunday with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press was filled with lies and exaggerations, including with respect to the economy.

“Obama had a lousy economy. It was a dead economy…Nobody was working. The whole place was a disaster.”



That statement is patently ridiculous. In fact, in the last 29 months of President Obama’s time in office, more jobs were created than during Mr. Trump’s first 29 months as president – 219,000 jobs a month for Mr. Obama versus 195,000 jobs a month for Mr. Trump. And from the nadir of the recession in 2009, unemployment on Mr. Obama’s watch fell from 10.0 percent to 4.7 percent. And the number of unemployed also fell, by 3.7 million. All of these are far more dramatic achievements than those of Mr. Trump, although in fairness, Mr. Trump is only part way through his first term.



Equally importantly, wage gains have been slower under Mr. Trump than they were under Mr. Obama. After adjusting for inflation, wages under the current president have increased at an average annual rate of 0.65 percent, compared to 0.8 percent during the Obama years.

“My economy is phenomenal. We have now the best economy, maybe in the history of our country.”



Well, no, not exactly. You have only to go back to the Clinton years to find an economy growing substantially faster than Mr. Trump’s. Across his eight years, Bill Clinton averaged 3.9 percent annual growth in real GDP, compared to 2.5 percent for Mr. Trump. Even during Mr. Obama’s tenure, the economy (after the recession troughed) was growing nearly as fast – 2.2 percent per year.

Everybody who pays any attention at all knows Trump is a cheat and a conman. And that he lies about everything. The fact charlatan Trump is in the running for the presidency again is in itself a condemnation of the values and moral integrity of a huge chunk of the American population.

When Trump loses November America will regain much respect.
