"Trump told his usual lie that the free and fair 2020 election was stolen from him, Dale wrote. He lied again that grocery prices are down' even after CBS' Norah O'Donnell informed him they are up. He declared once more that there is now no inflation,' though there certainly is, and then that inflation is 2% or even less than 2%,' though the most recent available Consumer Price Index figure is now up to 3%."
"Dale continued, The president also deployed multiple other fictional numbers, as he listed off receipts: He falsely claimed $17 trillion is being invested in the US right now, though the $17 trillion figure is nearly double the White House's own wildly inflated figure. He falsely claimed each alleged drug boat the US has attacked in recent weeks kills 25,000 Americans, though experts note this figure plainly does not make sense."
"He falsely claimed some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act 28 times, though no individual president has invoked it on more than six occasions with this record set by President Ulysses S. Grant in the 1800s. He falsely claimed he has ended eight wars, though his list includes two situations that were not wars at all and at least one war that continues."
President Donald Trump made multiple inaccurate assertions in a televised interview, repeating a false claim that the 2020 election was stolen. He misstated grocery prices as falling and denied current inflation despite Consumer Price Index increases. He overstated investment and casualty figures, citing a $17 trillion investment and 25,000 deaths per attacked drug boat that do not align with evidence. He misrepresented historical uses of the Insurrection Act, wrongly claimed to have ended eight wars, misstated the timing of a CBS interview with Kamala Harris, and vastly overstated Ukraine aid and migrant totals.
