“There was tremendous cheating in New York”

PolitiFact says: There is no evidence of "tremendous cheating" in New York during the 2016 general election.

“Election officials are “sending 80 million ballots all over the country. Eighty million ballots, non-requested. I call them ‘unsolicited ballots.’”

PolitiFact says: The New York Times predicted in August that roughly 80 million voters will cast ballots by mail for the Nov. 3 election. But Trump misleads by calling them all "unsolicited."

“Tanto en contagios como en detener las muertes EEUU lo ha hecho mejor que Europa.”

“Under Operation Warp Speed, we’ve pioneered groundbreaking therapies, reducing the fatality rate 85% since April.”

PolitiFact says: There was a major decline in the case-fatality rate — the number of coronavirus deaths divided by known cases — compared to an earlier phase in the epidemic. However, “groundbreaking therapies” are only part of why.

“[G]o to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail In Vote has been Tabulated (Counted). If it has you will not be able to Vote & the Mail In System worked properly. If it has not been Counted, VOTE (which is a citizen’s right to do).”

FactCheck.org says: It is unnecessary, will likely cause long delays at polling places, and could be illegal. In many states, poll workers will not know whether a mail-in ballot has been received and accepted.

“I never called John (McCain) a loser.”

PolitiFact says: Trump called McCain a loser at a televised event in Ames, Iowa, on July 18, 2015. After that 2015 event, Trump tweeted out a web post touting the “loser” exchange.

“Biden failed to condemn far-left violent groups like Antifa, instead faulting only the brave men and women of law enforcement.”

“Like I did in Kenosha. You know, Kenosha went through three or four days. You wouldn’t have a Kenosha right now. We demanded that they send in the National Guard. Called the governor.”

FactCheck.org says: Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers activated the guard early in the morning of Aug. 24, well before Trump weighed in.

“Only 6% of the people actually died from COVID.” The others “died from other reasons.”

PolitiFact says: The National Center for Health Statistics told us that COVID-19 was responsible for nearly all of the deaths involving the virus.

“Black Lives Matter/Antifa”

Washington Post says: Trump retweeted this video of a Black man assaulting a White woman on the New York City subway with share text that blamed Black Lives Matter and antifa. However, the video was from October 2019.

“If I didn’t INSIST on having the National Guard activate and go into Kenosha, Wisconsin, there would be no Kenosha right now.”

PolitiFact says: This is wrong on every level, including the most basic one: None of the troops in WI were dispatched or aided by Trump. It's a state process.

“The entire city (of Portland) is ablaze all the time.”

“We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.”

PolitiFact says: Neither Trump nor federal agencies provided any further information to substantiate the incident.

“Retweeted a video, which had been posted under the heading “Black Lives Matter/Antifa,” of a Black man shoving a white woman into a stopped subway car.”

FactCheck.org says: The incident occurred on Oct. 23, 2019, and there is no indication that the man in the video was affiliated with, or motivated by, either Black Lives Matter or antifa.

“Cuomo ended cash bail ... and now the crime rate has gone through the roof.”

PolitiFact says: There is no evidence linking higher rates of violent crime to reforms to cash bail that took effect in New York this year.

“The United States has among the lowest (COVID-19) case fatality rates of any major country in the world.”

“Trump administration will “further reduce the cost of prescription drugs and health insurance premiums" in a second term.”

FactCheck.org says: Employer-plan premiums have gone up, and so have prescription drug costs, by a metric Trump has referenced before.

“Convalescent plasma had been “proven to reduce mortality by 35%" in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.”

FactCheck.org says: Trump misrepresents a Mayo Clinic study, which found a relative mortality decrease of 35% for those given high- versus low-concentration plasma. The study did not prove that convalescent plasma is effective for COVID-19.

“It used to take 17 years, 18 years, 20 years, 21 years … to get approval to build a highway,” but “[w]e have it down to two years now, we’re going to have it down to one.”

FactCheck.org says: Federal data show it took a median of 3.83 years in fiscal 2019 for projects yo complete environmental impact statements. That’s the same or a bit longer than it took during the last five years of the Obama admin.
