Donald Trump
President of the United States. 1,168 claims checked by other fact-checking organisations, from 2018 to 2026. The ratings are theirs, in their own words.
“I had no choice because I just didn’t want to stay in the White House.”
Washington Post says: Timeline of statements by Trump saying victory over the coronavirus was near
“Tenemos al covid totalmente controlado”
“He recuperado 700,000 puestos de trabajo (en el sector de manufactura)...Ellos (Obama y Biden) no recuperaron nada”
“Last week Joe Biden flashed the ‘white power’ sign. President Trump condemned white supremacists yesterday. Why hasn't Joe Biden?”
“I’m all for electric cars. I’ve given big incentives for electric cars.”
Washington Post says: Nope. Trump has actually proposed to eliminate two of the three key programs — which predate Trump’s tenure — that encourage the manufacture or purchase of an electric vehicle.
“Mediante terapias innovadoras, redujimos la tasa de mortalidad en un 85% desde abril y estamos cerca de una cura”
“Pasan cosas malas con el proceso electoral en Filadelfia”
“President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden “left me 128 judges to fill. You just don’t do that.”
PolitiFact says: Obama nominated many judges, but Republicans blocked their confirmations.
“Votar por correo llevará a un “fraude como nunca se ha visto”.”
“Before the coronavirus pandemic, the United States had “the greatest economy in the history of our country.”

“Says Joe Biden “passed a tax bill that gave us all these privileges for depreciation and for tax credits. We built a building, and we get tax credits like the hotel on Pennsylvania Ave.”
“Trump a Joe Biden: "Dijiste que fuiste a Delaware State, pero olvidaste el nombre de tu universidad”
“Barack Obama and Joe Biden "passed a tax bill that gave us all of these privileges for depreciation, tax credits. We build a building, and we get tax credits, like the hotel on Pennsylvania Ave.”
PolitiFact says: The Trump campaign cited a tax change under Obama, but it's not clear how that relates to his Pennsylvania Avenue hotel. That hotel earned a $40 million tax break under a law on the books since 1976.
“Biden cerrará todo el país por el coronavirus”
“In manufacturing, "I brought back 700,000 jobs. (Obama and Biden) brought back nothing.”
PolitiFact says: Trump is wrong about the job gains on his watch; the actual increase was 450,000 prior to the pandemic. Obama and Biden saw gains of 916,000 if you start counting with the recovery from the Great Recession.
“Joe, you agree with Bernie Sanders — who’s far left — on the manifesto, we call it, and that gives you socialized medicine. Are you saying you didn’t agree?:”
