Trump rewrites Wisconsin history in rally filled with false claims

 

Quote

 

Donald Trump made more than two dozen false claims at his Tuesday campaign rally in Racine, Wisconsin, including two significant attempts to rewrite Wisconsin history.

The first was a slightly vaguer than usual version of his familiar lie that he won Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election. He lost the state by 20,682 votes.

The second was a version of a false claim Trump delivered in 2020 and again in 2022: his assertion that he had saved the Wisconsin city of Kenosha from destruction in 2020 when Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, refused to take action to deal with the civil unrest that followed the police shooting of a Black man.

Trump made lots of other false claims during the Racine rally. Here’s a quick fact check on 12 of them:

● He said “the world was at peace” when he was president in 2020, though there were numerous ongoing armed conflicts.

·● He  said Democrats rigged the 2020 election, which did not happen.

·● He  said people’s votes “tend to disappear” after they are cast, which is just not true.

·● He  said the country is “in the middle of the worst crime wave in modern history,” though preliminary statistics show crime declined sharply in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.

·● He said he has been indicted more times than notorious gangster Al Capone, who was indicted at least six times to Trump’s four.

·● He said somebody left cocaine at the White House “about a month ago,” though that happened about 11 months ago, and said it was “hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine,” though photos show the cocaine was in a small bag worth nothing even remotely close to that amount.

·● He said he went to Washington, DC, the other day for one of his trials, though the trip was actually for meetings with congressional Republicans.

·● He said then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned down his offer of 10,000 soldiers at the Capitol January 6, 2021; there is no evidence she ever received such an offer, and she wouldn’t have had the power to reject it if she did.

·● He said no previous president had taken even 10 cents “out of China” from tariffs; the US has had tariffs on China since the 1700s and generated billions per year from them under predecessor President Barack Obama — and study after study has shown that Americans pay the tariffs, not China.

·● He said Syria and Turkey have been fighting over their border “for 2,000 years,” though historians have said this is nonsense: Turkey and Syria were both part of the Ottoman Empire, and the modern border between them is less than 100 years old.

·● He said he thinks cumulative inflation under Biden is “40 or 50 percent”; it’s actually about 19%.

Conned? You must be talking about a yellow submarine. The conning tower does taste like a banana.
