"Within hours of her death, Trump smeared Good on Truth Social, saying that the 37-year-old mother of three belonged to a Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate and that she viciously ran over the ICE officer. Trump added, It is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. What Trump said was light years from what we saw."
"Like other brazen demagogues, Trump seems to believe he has a magical power to persuade us not to believe what our eyes are telling us. Take inflation. In recent months, Trump, who vowed to reduce prices on day one, has said there was no inflation, that all grocery prices were falling rapidly, and that every price is down. But anyone can see that there's still inflation."
Donald Trump repeatedly makes demonstrably false claims that contradict observable evidence about events including the killing of Renee Nicole Good, inflation, January 6, and Ukraine. After Good's death, Trump falsely claimed she ran over an ICE agent and belonged to a radical movement, even though video shows the ICE agent walked away after shooting her three times. Senior officials echoed his misleading portrayal and defended the agent. Trump also denies ongoing inflation, asserting falling grocery prices despite continued price pressures experienced by consumers. Such repeated distortions seek to persuade the public to distrust direct observation.
