Donald Trump’s campaign launched a new website at FactCheckBiden.com to fact-check President Joe Biden’s debate lies in real-time, offering substantial details to dismantle numerous false statements made during the Thursday CNN presidential debate.
The numerous entries and stunning statistics offered evidence far beyond the words shared by Trump during the debate, highlighting issues such as the economy, foreign policy, the border, abortion, and taxes.
The first post, focusing on Biden’s lies about the economy, called out the president’s claim that he “created 15 million jobs.” Instead, 72 percent of all Biden jobs are those who returned to work following the pandemic.
The same fact-check also called out Biden for stating that “inflation was 9% when I came into office.” Even CNN noted that Biden’s inflation statement is blatantly false.
“Biden’s claim that the inflation rate was 9% when he became president is not close to true. The year-over-year inflation rate in January 2021, the month of his inauguration, was about 1.4%,” CNN admitted earlier this year.
“The Biden-era inflation rate did peak at about 9.1% – but that peak occurred in June 2022, after Biden had been president for more than 16 months,” the outlet added.
Another key area addressed on Trump’s fact-check website was Biden’s false statements about the border. The president has repeatedly argued the only reason the border is not secure is because of Republicans and President Trump.
“Crooked Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to dismantle President Trump’s successful border security — then implemented a catch-and-release scheme that resettled millions of unvetted illegal aliens in U.S. communities,” Trump’s website detailed.
The contrast between Trump’s border policies and those under Biden could not be clearer.
“In President Trump’s entire term, just over two million illegal aliens were encountered at the southern border; under Crooked Joe, nearly seven million illegals have been encountered so far — not including ‘gotaways,’” the fact-check website added.
A third concerning area is the nation’s growing crime. Biden has called on Americans to trust the data, referring to the FBI’s statistics of lower criminal numbers.
Instead, a simple fact-check shows that the FBI’s first quarter 2024 data is “missing nearly a third of the nation’s law enforcement agencies — including from many of the most violent cities, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and New Orleans.”
The criminal report is “also missing an entirely new category of crime against U.S. citizens at the hands of illegal aliens the Biden administration has ferried in — BIDEN MIGRANT CRIME.”
