"We heard him push his usual lie that he won the 2020 election. Of course, he lost fair and square. He said we have already solved inflation. Inflation is actually rising. It was up to 2.9 percent in August, up from 2.7 percent in July. It's the highest since January. He said, as he has repeatedly, that he inherited the worst inflation in U.S. history. He didn't. He inherited 3 percent inflation, just above what it is now."
"He repeated his favorite imaginary figure on U.S. aid to Ukraine, saying that we're into that war for $350 billion. That figure is not even close to correct. A think tank that closely tracks the issue puts U.S. aid at less than half of the president's figure. He said again that China is paying a whole bunch of tariffs to the U.S. It is U.S. importers who pay those tariffs, often pass on the cost to U.S. consumers."
"He also repeated some of his favorite old January 6 nonsense. He said it has emerged it's now clear that Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker, rejected his offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on that day. In fact, there's still no evidence that actually happened. He said, again, the January 6 House Select Committee deleted all its evidence, deleted all the records"
President Donald Trump repeated multiple false or debunked claims, asserting he won the 2020 election and that inflation has been solved despite rising inflation. Inflation reached 2.9 percent in August, up from 2.7 percent in July, the highest since January. Trump claimed he inherited the worst inflation in U.S. history, though he inherited about 3 percent. He overstated U.S. aid to Ukraine with a $350 billion figure that is more than double estimates from tracking think tanks. He misstated tariff mechanics by saying China pays tariffs when U.S. importers pay them. He reiterated unfounded January 6 claims about Nancy Pelosi and deleted committee records.
