Keeping track of Trump’s lies during his debate with Kamala Harris was not easy.
We noted 33 lies and the fact-checker on CNN agreed with that number.
Lie 33: Trump says we are losing car plants and threatens tariffs. Meanwhile, companies like Toyota and others that are not American companies are building their cars here.
Lie 32: Trump said Harris wants to take our guns. Harris admitted that she is a gun owner as well as Tim Walz and that she’s not taking anybody’s guns away.
Lie 31: Trump claimed Harris wants everyone to be on government healthcare when she said she believes in private options.
Lie 30: Trump claimed 23M migrants have come over the border when that is just not true. There has never been even one month where the numbers were in the millions.
Lie 29: He claimed that these migrants are coming from jails and asylums when this is uncorroborated.
Lie 28: He said crime was down all over the world because they are sending their criminals and mental patients to us. They are not.
Lie 27: Said we are encouraging illegals to vote. Nowhere is it legal for non-citizens to vote.
Lie 26: Trump claimed immigration is ruining the economy when just the opposite is true.
Lie 25: Now, he’s veering off into lies about oil pipelines.
Lie 24: Trump is talking about foreign leaders and all he can do is talk about how wonderful he is and how all these things wouldn’t have happened under him. He’s claiming that Israel will be gone under her, which is ridiculous.
Lie 23: Trump called Dictator Viktor Orbán smart, respected. Claiming North Korea and China are afraid of him.
Lie 22: He’s lying about saying that he knew he lost. Again, he’s veering off into the topic of immigration when asked about losing the election in 2020.
Lie 21: Trump is lying about his bloodbath comment as it would relate to what would happen if he loses. He veered off into immigration again even though he was asked about January 6. Trump can’t seem to stay on topic. Clearly, she has rattled him with her clear and concise and factual statements.
Lie 20: She was never the ‘border czar’. Her role was diplomatic.
Lie 19: Trump wants to pardon January 6 criminals. He even replaces the US anthem with their song. She didn’t order any riots, but he did! He also let criminals out of jail because Kim Kardashian told him to. He pardoned Kwame Kilpatrick and Rod Blagojevich, both Democrats.
Lie 18: None of the cases against him were started by Biden. Biden had nothing to do with it. The justice department is prosecuting many Democrats including Hunter Biden and Menendez.
Lie 17: Who allowed people to come in? The man who promised the wall and didn’t build it. Crime rate is down in 2023, and is now lower than it has been since he was in office. Muir corrected his whopper.
Lie 16: Trump fired all those people because they wouldn’t do his dirty deeds. He’s a backstabbing tyrant.
Lie 15: Trump falsely claimed migrants in Ohio were killing pets and eating them. We knew he was going to repeat this stupid lie. He just lost this debate.
Lie 14: He claimed people don’t go to her rallies when the last one attracted 10,000 people. People are NOT paid to attend her rallies, and in fact her rallies have attracted more people than his, so he’s lying again.
Lie 13: On a question about abortion he’s veering off into student loans. He can’t even stick to the same subject. You can see the confused look on Harris’s face because Trump makes no sense when he talks.
Lie 12: Trump’s not in favor of abortion bans, but he’s proud that he got rid of Roe v. Wade? No matter what you think about abortion he’s lying again.
Lie 11: Trump continues to rant incoherently and lie. A question about one thing led him to veer off into talk about immigration.
Lie 10: Trump flip-flopped on abortion. Trump claims Democrats have advocated for abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy or were in favor of “executing” babies “after birth, which is just not true. Thank you, Lindsay Davis for correcting him on that.
Lie 9: Harris alone hasn’t destroyed anything and he’s veered into immigration on a question about technology chips.
Lie 8: Trump keeps lying about Harris’ policies.
Lie 7: Trump has no idea how tariffs work. He destroyed the farmers and then had to bail them out. Again, he lies about this and the idea that we made millions off China is just false.
Lie 6: Trump’s professors think he’s the dumbest student they ever had. He brags about graduating from business school but bankrupted almost a dozen businesses including three casinos.
Lie 5: Trump did not do a great job with the pandemic.
Lie 4: It clearly says that project 2025 is the transition plan for a Trump administration.
Lie 3: Trump did not create the greatest economy in the history of the country. He said there was no inflation when he was president.
Lie 2: We have never had 23% inflation. It went up to 9% after Trump spent $8.4T and currently is below 3%.
Lie 1: Tariffs are a sales tax on the consumer, not the producer of the goods. Americans will pay extra on everything they have to buy because the producer will simply raise their prices. It will raise the average cost of living by $4,000/family/year.
