"Former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday with the most dishonest speech in the four-day Republican National Convention, making more than 20 false claims by CNN’s count.
Trump has made many of these false claims before, some of them for years. They spanned topics including the economy, immigration, crime, foreign policy and elections. Some of them were total lies, others smaller exaggerations. Some were in his prepared text (like the claim that he left the Biden administration a world at peace), while he ad-libbed others (such as his lies that Democrats cheated in the 2020 election and that the US is experiencing the worst inflation it has ever had).
Here are some of the claims CNN fact-checked Thursday:
Trump’s misleading claim about North Korean missile launches during his presidency
Trump’s claims of defeating ISIS in a “couple of months”
Trump on the impact of immigration on Medicare and Social Security
Trump’s exaggeration about gas prices
Trump’s claims about military equipment left in Afghanistan
Trump’s false claim that the ‘world was at peace’ during his administration
Read all the fact checks.
