Fact Checking The Felon Guy’s Presser

The Felon Guy held an impromptu press conference at his retirement home in Florida. As usual, he told numerous lies and disparaged Vice President Harris, President Biden, Gov. Tim Walz, and pretended to have protected Hillary Clinton from a prison sentence; that’s a new one, BTW-

  • Claim: Referencing his J6 speech- “If you look at Martin Luther King, when he did his speech, his great speech. And you look at ours, same real estate, same everything, same number of people. If not, we had more.”
  • Facts: This lacks evidence. While it is difficult to gauge exact crowd sizes, estimates counter Mr. Trump’s claim that the numbers gathered were comparable. Dr. King’s speech drew an estimated 250,000 people. The House Select Committee responsible for investigating the events of Jan. 6 estimated that Mr. Trump’s speech drew 53,000 people.
  • Claim: “The vast majority of the country does support me.”
  • Fact: 😂 😅 🤣
    • Never won the popular vote in either election.
    • Most people in this country are NOT MAGAts.
    • Favorability rate is around 43% at this moment.

  • Claim: They’re going to destroy Social Security.”
  • Fact: False. Opposite Day! President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have pledged not to make any cuts to America’s social safety net programs. Mr. Trump suggested this year that he was open to scaling back the programs when he said there was “a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms of cutting.”
  • Claim:They’re drilling now because they had to go back because gasoline was going up to seven, eight, nine dollars a barrel. The day after the election, if they won, you’re going to have fuel prices go through the roof.”
  • Fact: The price of gasoline reached a low of $1.98 per gallon in April 2020, when Mr. Trump was president, chiefly as a result of the drop in driving in the first months of the Covid pandemic. It rose to a peak of $5 per gallon in June 2022, but has since steadily dropped to $3.60 per gallon in July 2024. 
  • Claim: “Democrats are really the radical ones on this, because they’re allowed to do abortion on the eighth and ninth month, and even after birth.”
  • Fact: No state has passed a law allowing for the execution of a baby after it is born, which is infanticide. Moreover, abortions later in pregnancy are very rare.
