The truth about Trump
The truth about Trump
So this post has been circulating around Facebook and I decided to do some fact checking. All the fact checks were found on factcheck.org or politfact.com unless otherwise cited.
The answers on all of these "facts" that they stated were direct quotes from these sources.
So let's see how much weight this holds...shall we….
They ask if we dislike him, #45 Trump, because of these things:
1.He gave billions to stop the opioid crisis?
"President Donald Trump implied that his administration’s funding to fight the opioid epidemic had caused the “numbers” to come “way down.” But the most recent data we have on opioid-related deaths — which are still rising"
2. He destroyed ISIS, killed how many terrorists without going to war.
I check all over the Internet and there are no facts anywhere to say he destroyed ISIS
3.We are the Largest producer of oil?
"Trump repeatedly referred to “energy” when, the White House tells us, he actually meant specific types of energy. But even so, Trump’s boasts were either inaccurate or misleading.
‘Largest Energy Producer’?
By total primary energy production, China was the largest energy producer in 2015 and has been since 2008, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration"
4. Do you dislike him because he wanted to build a wall to keep criminals and drugs from coming in?
"None of that came to pass, however. Instead, the president has asked Congress to fund a border wall, while promising that the U.S. will be “reimbursed at a later date from whatever transaction we make from Mexico.”
In a meeting with Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi on Dec. 11, Trump threatened a shutdown of the federal government if Democrats did not agree to include $5 billion in the next budget to build “a tremendous chunk of wall.” Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, later said the president’s demand shows that the wall will “not [be] paid for by Mexico anymore.”
5. Do you dislike him because he just slashed the price for medications and some cases 50%, which is driving big Pharma nuts?
"Drug prices are coming down, for the first time in 51 years because of my administration,” he said in May 2019.
None of this is true, as has been pointed out in recent days by economist Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research and Kevin Drum of Mother Jones, and over the longer term by hard data compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis"
6. Do you dislike that he signed the Save Our Seas Act which funds 10 million per year to clean tons of plastic and garbage from the ocean?
"Rather, the law Trump signed reauthorizes "the longstanding amount of $10 million annually" for NOAA’s Marine Debris Program, she said"
7. Do you dislike that he signed the biggest wilderness protection and conservation bill in a decade designating 375,000 acres as protected land?
"Congress actually pasted that not the Trump administration
But the Trump administration had it's most well-known attack on public lands, the Trump administration removed more than 2 million acres from Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments—culminating in the largest elimination of protected areas in U.S. history. Then, in January 2018, the U.S. Department of the Interior approved a plan to build a road straight through the previously wild Izembek National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.
In October 2018—just two months before he resigned amid a slew of scandals—former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke sought to garner hometown praise by withdrawing 30,000 acres from mining north of Yellowstone National Park in Montana. But Zinke, Trump, and Bernhardt have overturned far more acres of mineral withdrawals than they have protected. Other sensitive landscapes that the administration has opened to mining include: nearly 10 million acres of sage-grouse habitat; the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness; and lands bordering Joshua Tree and Death Valley national parks in the California desert"
8. Do you dislike that he’s done more for the black community than every other President?
From the New York Times
“This may well be the president’s most audacious claim ever,” said Michael K. Fauntroy, a professor of political science at Howard University. “Not only has he not done more than anybody else, he’s done close to the least.”
9. Do you dislike that he listened to senator Scott and passed Invest In Opportunity Zones to help minorities?
"At his rally in Tulsa on June 20, President Donald Trump asserted without evidence that $100 billion had been invested in opportunity zones under a federal program that provides tax incentives to encourage development in low-income neighborhoods.
That number is far higher than other estimates of the total, and Trump, his administration and his campaign have furnished no evidence to back up the claim"
10. Do you dislike that he passed VA reforms to benefit the very people who served our country and defend our freedom?
"2014, Obama signed a bill that permitted veterans to seek private care outside of Veterans Affairs facilities. It also gave money for the VA to hire additional doctors and nurses and overhauled the VA's electronic medical records.
Trump did sign the VA Mission bill, which permits veterans to have a private doctor if their wait time is 20 days (28 days in the case of specialty care) or if their drive is 30 minutes"
According to an Associated Press fact check of similar
11.Do you dislike that he calls out and has shown all of us that they ARE Fake News, and they twist the truth to control and mislead the people and he is trying to protect us from this?
"Trump often dismisses news stories or media outlets that he doesn’t like as “fake news.” How often? A database of his public remarks contains 320 references last year to “fake news.”
Usually, it’s a general complaint about news coverage — such as his Christmas Eve tweet: “The Fake News refuses to talk about how Big and how Strong our BASE is.”
But there are times, too, when he has labeled accurate news reporting as “fake news” or spread false information himself, while at the same time accusing the media of being “fake” or “dishonest.”
There is way too much for me to write about on this one so we will just keep going.
12. Do you dislike that he’s ending wars?
"Trump is not ending wars, but preparing for more war. Over the past year, he has deployed 14,000 more troops in the Middle East — beyond the tens of thousands already there"
13. Do you dislike that his words could ited America to inject bleach? (search Headlight but don’t use Google... they are part of the Deep State and manipulate what we see!)
Okay this is my answer to this...Are you kidding? All of Google and fact checker? All can be out here with fake news? Seriously? Just use the ones you want us to use to fact check your lies? Now who sounds nuts here?
14. They are teaching hatred and separation... even in families! You are not allowed to agree with “part” of their agenda and think for yourself; you must repeat their FULL belief system or name-calling and insults ensue...
Well actually…
"Crime researcher Brian Levin, the director of Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State University, surveyed official local police data from 30 large American cities in 2018 and found that "this is the first time in this decade that collection of cities has hit 2,000... and has its steepest increase since 2015."
Look did this because I sincerely wanted to know if what they said had any truth to it. I wanted to see if maybe I didn't know these things and that I could be wrong. I am the first one to raise my hand and admit when I am wrong and I would have if any of this was actually true.
So this is why I wanted to break this down one by one and actually fact check it myself like they told me to do in this Facebook post.
So today my friends, what I learned is that we really need to know what we are putting out on social media. We all need to fact check our shit or other people's shit like this before we believe it is true.
We need to stop taking it for face value and do your research.
Do not believe it simply because it is floating around social media land. This does not make it true!
Know what you are spreading..is it lies, hatred and racism or is it love, truth, compassion and kindness? It is up to you to make sure you are doing your homework and you own what you put out there.
But most of all, we can see that we need to vote! Vote to make a change, vote to stop the lies and the hatred. Vote because we actually have the power, when we come together to change the world and if we don't, we won't have any power, we won't have any freedom of speech, we won't have a democracy, just a Communist country filled with lies. It is up to you, your vote can and will make the difference.
And like I say all the time….
"Be the change you want to see"
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
