Donald Trump is intensifying his rhetoric as the election season approaches! When the 2024 Republican nominee took the stage in Pennsylvania, what did he say? Perhaps they should have had a fact-checker on hand. Between Scranton and Reading, Trump made over 40 contentious statements on a wide range of topics, from outrageous allegations about Kamala Harris and American schools to FEMA’s disaster finances. A summary of some moments that raised eyebrows is provided below:
- The Migrant Funds of FEMA?
According to Trump, FEMA “spent all its money” on migrants, leaving it broke for disaster relief, which caused some people to take notice. Checking in with reality? Not that quick. Despite growing pressure, FEMA continues to have cash set aside for disaster recovery. - Hurricanes and Harris
Trump made fun of Kamala Harris by saying she sent “no help” for those who survived Hurricane Helene. But hold on, the Democratic governor of North Carolina has openly praised the Biden administration for their efforts, and several agencies were in fact on the ground. - Stupid School Allegations
Trump brought back to life a startling (and extensively refuted) tale about American schools performing gender surgery on pupils without their parents’ permission. It’s important to note that neither his team nor any actual cases have provided any proof for this assertion. - Should Biden Implement His “Electric Car Mandate”?
Additionally, the former president blasted a purported Biden demand that “everyone” convert to electric vehicles “immediately.” Fact: there isn’t a rule like that. In reality, the Biden administration wants to increase sales of electric vehicles, not compel - The “Exploding” Migrant Population
Trump said in Scranton that the Biden administration allowed 21 million people to enter the country. The actual number, however, is less than half that, and many were swiftly ejected, according to recent government data. Talk about exaggerating figures!
You’re not the only one who feels lightheaded. Trump’s assertions appear to be stretching the bounds of reality more than ever as he intensifies his speeches during the campaign. Who can predict what he will say next as Election Day draws near?
