The former president’s rally script centers on juxtaposing conditions two years ago with now, relying on misrepresentations of both.
For his part, Trump indicated he’s fully aware of how many of his statements haven’t stood up to fact-checking. “If I say anything that’s slightly wrong, they’ll challenge what I say,” he said of the press at the Iowa rally.
The Post provided Trump’s team with a full list of the inaccurate statements and requested any additional substantiation. After the requested amount of time to review, spokesman Taylor Budowich did not dispute any specific items in the analysis. “The Left is failing in every way imaginable, so The Washington Post is clearly and desperately trying to run interference with some sham fact check,” he said in a statement. “It’s embarrassing, but unsurprising.”
At Trump’s signature rallies this summer and fall, the barrage of misinformation begins before the former president takes the stage. Attendees filing in to take their seats have been routinely met with a prepackaged video quoting Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Rep. Jim Jordan and others falsely suggesting that the, 2021, insurrection was the fault of the FBI or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , rather than a riot of Trump supporters encouraged by the former president.
The government’s figures are for people who were caught, whereas Trump’s speech made it sound like they were succeeding in entering the country. “Biden and the radical Democrats do nothing at all to stop the death and devastation caused by this invasion into our country,” Trump said.His account of immigration then became his basis for describing a crime wave sweeping the nation, transitioning to another core Republican campaign theme.
