Byron Donalds

“The reason why we have seen a measles outbreak in certain parts of the country is because of rampant illegal immigration into the United States from the previous administration.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Unsupported

FactCheck.org says: The main driver of rising measles cases in the U.S. is falling vaccination among U.S. children. We couldn't find evidence that the largest recent outbreaks are related to illegal immigration.

FactCheck.org says: There is no evidence that splitting up the MMR vaccine would be safer or save lives. Death from MMR vaccination is exceedingly rare.

Donald Trump, U.S. President

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Trump did not inherit the worst inflation in history. And while there was a big one-month drop in the rate of inflation in June, the annualized inflation rate was not lower than when Trump took office.
