“President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight-year period. The reason they didn’t try is because they had no idea how to do it.”

Washington Post says: This is one of those needlessly false claims made by President Trump. Obama took lots of actions to try to steam police brutality.

“After years of devastating budget cuts and a military that was totally depleted from these endless wars, we have invested over 2 trillion — trillion, that’s with a T — dollars in the most powerful fighting force, by far, on the planet Earth.”

Washington Post says: The president is exaggerating his “investment” in the military, especially when he suggests that he has spent more than $2 trillion on new equipment. That's the number for the total military budget

“When, I started off as a kid, a young man in high school [was], uh, dealing with the issue. I got involved — I wasn’t any great shakes — but got involved in the civil rights movement. Desegregating restaurants, that kind of thing.”

Washington Post says: We can identify one incident involving Biden that can possibly be deemed an effort at desegregating a restaurant. Biden’s use of plural —“restaurants” — cannot be confirmed.

“Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?”

Washington Post says: This is a conspiracy theory with no basis in fact.

“Pepper spray is not a chemical irritant. It’s not chemical.”

Washington Post says: This is false. Pepper balls contain pelargonic acid vanillylamide, or PAVA, a “synthetic'' form of capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers.

“If we shut it down a month earlier, we’d have probably another 45,000 to 60,000 people be alive instead of dead because he didn’t listen to — and I’m going to say something outrageous. He did not listen to guys like me back in January saying we have a problem, a pandemic is on the way.”

Washington Post says: Biden leaves the impression he had offered more specific plans to combat the virus. He did not say back in January that it was a pandemic, only that it was a possibility, and he did not advocate social distancing.

“My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. Passed Opportunity Zones with @SenatorTimScott, guaranteed funding for HBCU’s, School Choice, passed Criminal Justice Reform, lowest Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates in history.”

Washington Post says: Historians universally out Lyndon B. Johnson at the top of the list, after Lincoln, and Trump far below.

“State of Nevada ‘thinks’ that they can send out illegal vote by mail ballots, creating a great Voter Fraud scenario for the State and the U.S. They can’t! If they do, ‘I think’ I can hold up funds to the State. Sorry, but you must not cheat in elections. @RussVought45 @USTreasury”

“So the so-called HHS Whistleblower was against HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE. Then why did he make, and sign, an emergency use authorization? ... A dumb @60Minutes hit job on a grandstanding Never Trumper!”

“They claim pandemics only happen once every hundred years but what if that’s no longer true? We want to be early, ready for the next one, because clearly the Obama administration did not leave to this administration any kind of game plan for something like this.”

Washington Post says: McConnell is wrong to say the Obama administration left “no game plan” to deal with a pandemic; the Obama team crafted a detailed document setting forth questions and policies that should be considered.

“When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida. Did he get away with murder? Some people think so. Why did he leave Congress so quietly and quickly? Isn’t it obvious? What’s happening now? A total nut job!”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a president who listens to someone other than himself?”

Washington Post says: The video tweeted by Biden was edited to leave a misleading impression, cutting the nurse's response to Trump, making it appear as if he cut her off in mid-sentence, when in fact she said she agreed with the president.

“I was talking about people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee, a great general.”

Washington Post says: The evidence shows there were no quiet protesters against removing the statue that weekend. That’s just a figment of the president’s imagination.

“Mike Pence pretending to carry a big box of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he's doing: a big box of nothing, delivering another box of nothing.”

Washington Post says: Kimmel presented a clip that left out the fact that Vice President Pence was joking.

“It [AIDS] was a death certificate. And then, all of a sudden, they came up with some kind of — and now we have — we will be AIDS-free within eight years. We started 10 years. Should have started in the previous administration. They did nothing.”

Washington Post says: Trump's plans for fighting AIDS was built on Obama's plans, though with a more ambitious goal; both presidents spent about the same amount of money each year.

“I will tell you, more and more, we’re hearing the story [that the new coronavirus emerged from a Wuhan lab].”

Washington Post says: The balance of the scientific evidence strongly supports the conclusion that the new coronavirus emerged from nature. Too many unexpected coincidences would have had to take place for it to have escaped from a lab.

“We’ve tested more than every country combined.”

Washington Post says: The United States has tested about 5 million people; the rest of the world has tested 25 million people.

“Virtually every Democrat candidate has declared their unlimited support for extreme late-term abortion, ripping babies straight from the mother’s womb, right up until the very moment of birth.”

“The Postal Service is a joke because they’re handing out packages for Amazon and other Internet companies. And every time they bring a package, they lose money on it.”

Washington Post says: USPS says it is making money, as required by law. Treasury cannot show USPS is actually losing money on its contract with Amazon, as Trump claims. It can assert only that USPS does not know whether it makes a profit.

“By the way, I did that very early, while Nancy Pelosi was trying to have, in San Francisco, parties in Chinatown. Because they — she thought it would be great. She wanted to show that this thing doesn’t exist.”

Washington Post says: Trump says Pelosi urged street fairs and parades, but that’s not true. She advocated patronage of Chinese businesses. She was not trying to show the virus did not exist.
