Fact check: Trump delivers wildly dishonest speech at CPAC

 https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/05/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac/index.html

As president, Donald Trump made some of his most thoroughly dishonest speeches at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.

As he embarks on another campaign for the presidency, Trump delivered another CPAC doozy Saturday night.

Trump’s lengthy address to the right-wing gathering in Maryland was filled with wildly inaccurate claims about his own presidency, Joe Biden’s presidency, foreign affairs, crime, elections and other subjects.

Here is a fact check of 23 of the false claims Trump made. (And that’s far from the total.)

  1. Obviously, Americans don't mind and even admire lying politicians and newspapers. Probably the same worldwide. Why do politicians lie? Because it pays bit time.

  2. When Biden lies, the same folks just whistle and walk away. And if you point it out, they tell you it's "their truth" so it's not a lie!

  4. Is Trump a serious contender any longer?

    Is it not more likely that someone else will be the Republican candidate?

  8. Again, here's what your problem is: you still see this as a team sport and are intent on attacking the other team to show support for your own. You refuse to see that your team is, in fact, just as lousy as their opponents. Instead of cheering for your side and attacking the other, you should be standing back and seeing that the entire game is rotten.

  9. Claiming equivalency without any supporting evidence is a standard Republican/Trumpian strategy
