If you can do this 8% of the time you can be president ....

Of the 37 fact-checked claims attributed directly to Donald Trump, 14 were labeled “False,” seven were “Misleading,” four were “Exaggerated (Misleading),” three were “True,” two were “Mostly False (Misleading),” and one each was “Correct Attribution (Misleading),” “Distorts the Facts (Misleading),” “False (Lack of Evidence),” “Half True (Misleading),” “Mostly False,” “Mostly False (Misleading) (Lack Of Evidence)” and “Three Pinocchios.”
While it is difficult to directly compare such a wide range of verdicts -- and Trump’s number of fact checks far exceeds Biden’s -- it is worth noting that both candidates had 38% of their claims labeled “False”; 46% of Trump’s statements were merely “misleading” in the view of the fact-checker (rather than false) compared with 38% of Biden’s. And 8% of Trump’s statements were judged to be true versus none of Biden’s.
And these are the people who are supposed to further take over health care ... what could possibly go wrong.
