Trump grossly exaggerated the U.S. trade deficit with China, and falsely claimed that the U.S.
runs a trade deficit with “every country.”

Trump repeated a bogus claim that the wife of a 9/11 terrorist left the U.S. two days prior to the 2001 attacks and that she “knew exactly what was happening.”

Trump said he was “always against going into Iraq.” He was an early critic of the war, but there is no record of him speaking against the war before it started.

Trump claimed that Trump University has an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau, but the last rating we could find was a “D-.”

Trump falsely claimed that Rubio was the first person who ever disparaged the size of Trump’s hands. Vanity Fair‘s editor did so more than 25 years ago.

“His father loaned him $3.3 million by sending an emissary to buy poker chips in that amount at Trump Castle Casino in Atlantic City and not cashing them in. The loan, which allowed Donald Trump to make an interest payment to Castle bondholders, was illegal because only sources certified by the Casino Control Commission are allowed to make loans to casinos,” Blair wrote to us. “The Castle was fined $65,000, but the Commission declined to investigate Fred’s or Donald’s role in this illegal transfer; instead it certified Fred as a lender and allowed the Castle to pay the loan back over time rather than immediately.”

In the end, both Trump and Rubio are stretching the facts with their claims about Trump’s finances.

Total Medicare Part D spending for those three years doesn’t even add up to $300 billion.

candidate Bernie Sanders has cited a much lower estimate for savings from negotiating Medicare drug prices: between $230 billion to $541 billion over 10 years,
FactChecking the 11th GOP Debate


Seems if Trump's mouth is open.....he is lying! And yet he calls Cruz a liar, talk about being "the pot"!

I am sure there are plenty of fact checkers looking for a new line of work after Trump's comment about his genitals.

"Trump said he was “always against going into Iraq.” He was an early critic of the war, but there is no record of him speaking against the war before it started."

This is the only example you need to disqualify the entire thread and article!

Read it and turn on your brain. The quote itself substantiates his claim that he was against going into Iraq and nothing to the contrary. Trump is the only one privy to things he may have thought but never said, so his claim is actually irrefutable.

This is the kind of nonsense he is up against though...people challenging and questioning his own thoughts when he hasn't even uttered them verbally.

There is a recording of Donald Trump speaking to Howard Stern and Donald agrees with the Iraq war. Google "Iraq Trump Trump Agree".

Did anyone notice the "Fact Checkers" only put up charts for Trump. None for the rest.
Talk about a biased ambush. Faux News is the new Super Pac for the GOP neocons.

How about a fact check of Rubio & Cruz who were "On duty" while 5 trillion was added to
the national debt in the last 7 years. You can point fingers at the Democrats and Obama,
but what did they do to stop it. And they feel qualified to criticize Trump's taxes & finances ?
What a joke.

Here is a fact check. They told us McCain & the Mitten would win the Oval Office, now they tell us
Trump can't beat Hillary. 3 strikes and your out. BTW - No one, no matter how smart they claim to be,
tells me who is or is not qualified for President.

That's right Paw, we need a president to restore class to the office after Obama. Someone whose (third/thirteenth/whatever) wife poses nude, and who talks about his penis on national television, that's the man we need in the office!! C'mon everyone vote for the tiny-hands-orange-Oompa-Loompa!!

Donald Trump Would 'Fire' Bush Over Iraq Invasion

..."Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the country?...

...C'mon. Two minutes after we leave, there's going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he'll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn't have," Trump said...

Trump, Sept. 11, 2003: It wasn’t a mistake to fight terrorism and fight it hard, and I guess maybe if I had to do it, I would have fought terrorism but not necessarily Iraq.
