Marking them “true” was more a mercy than a reality.
The China tariffs should be “misleading” because tariffs are nothing more than a tax that is passed on to the consumer. China isn’t paying us anything, the person buying those goods are.

The IS territory being smaller is true but the statement is “misleading” because it’s from operations that were already in action from the Obama administration, not because of something he did.

Nothing he said was true

If Hillary was elected we'd have lots of corruption, and ongoing investigations, again what he knew he was doing and involved with. That's how he shows everyone what he's doing, and just listen to his accusations towards others. One of his tells.

"The U.S. economy is growing twice as fast today as when I took office, and we are considered far and away the hottest economy in the world."

NYT:
THIS IS FALSE

And that's just the first paragraph!
