Trump repeats facts in New York

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a massive election rally at Madison Square Garden in New York last night. In his speech of more than an hour, Trump used strong language again about immigrants and his rival Kamala Harris. There were also reports that were not verified or even false. And that’s not the first time.

“Kamala has created an army of migrant groups waging a campaign of violence and terror against our citizens. Nothing like this has ever happened in any country in the world,” Trump said.

For example, he talked about a group of very violent Venezuelan prisoners who allegedly entered America, a statement for which there is no evidence. Robert Briceño, director of an independent Venezuelan group that monitors violence in the country, told reporters this month CNN that there is no indication that Venezuelan ex-prisoners have moved to the US in large numbers. Also the independent platform Checkcheck.org reports that Trump has no evidence for his statements.

Check out some of Trump’s statements at the meeting:

Trump, as he has in previous speeches, referred to a graph that appeared to show that on the day he left the White House, the number of illegal immigrants was at its lowest. -ever entered the US. That’s not right. The low point in the number of immigrants indicated by the arrow in that graph was already in April 2020. That was shortly after the global corona crisis, when migration rates fell across the world Trump was president for another eight months after that, during which time immigration rates increased.

It is true when Trump’s successor, Biden, was president many more crossing attempts has done what it was in previous years. Trump and other Republicans regularly argue that all of these efforts represent people who have been admitted to the US. But depending on the platform Checkcheck.org millions of migrants who have tried to cross have been turned back in recent years.

Trump also swept the floor with his Democratic opponent Harris in New York. “No one respects her, no one trusts her. Everyone knows she has a very low IQ.”

The Republican reiterated that Harris wants to raise taxes on families by nearly $3,000 a year. But Harris actually says she won’t raise taxes on people making less than $400,000 a year – about 98 percent of taxpayers. She actually wants to raise taxes significantly on the wealthiest Americans, and Trump appears to be turning those plans into distorted picture his sketch.

Trump accused Harris and President Biden of not distributing money to the victims of Hurricane Helene. “They spent their money on bringing in illegal immigrants, so there was nothing left for the victims of the hurricane.” This is also a claim that Trump has often made in their speeches, but that one wrong Yes. FEMA, America’s disaster relief agency, has a pool of billions, hundreds of millions of which went to the victims of Hurricane Helene.

Trump also talked about crime rates. In his debate with Harris in September, ABC News moderator David Muir corrected the Republican after he said crime rates had risen during the Biden presidency. Last night Trump said: “Some stupid guy named David Muir from ABC News said that crime has gone down. I said, no, it hasn’t. The next day new figures showed that crime had gone up 45 percent. What a shame.”

Figures of the FBI and other agencies However, show that violent crimes, especially murders, rose in 2020 (Trump’s last year in the White House). Since then, the number of violent crimes has decreased. Trump says the FBI statistics are wrong and that the debate has again referred to a survey in which Americans are asked if they have been the victim of a crime. There are many limitations to that research, including the fact that homicide victims are not included.
