False: Project 2025 is Trump’s idea and contains all sorts of horrible things to make America more authoritarian.
True: The 2025 Project is a run-of-the-mill conservative think tank piece that Trump had nothing to do with and has, in fact, disavowed. The main thrust of the document is to drain the swamp, that is, cut back on the authority and power of unelected bureaucrats.
False: Trump will “in effect” enact a national sales tax.
True: What Trump has said, which Harris transmutes into a sales tax, is that he would enact tariffs across the board. People could avoid this “tax” by buying domestic products. Biden-Harris have proven to be quite comfortable with tariffs, keeping intact most of the tariffs Trump enacted during his first term.
False: Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.”
True: Trump specifically condemned neo-Nazis in the same speech.
False: Trump endangers democracy.
True: Neither during his entire first term nor on Jan. 6th did he ever do anything to endanger democracy unless by “democracy,” you mean “rule by democrats.”
False: Trump will become a dictator.
True: Worst dictator of the world who, if he wanted to be a dictator, did it all wrong in his first term when he enacted thousands of executive orders reducing the power of the federal government over the people and militated for the integrity of the election process.
False: Trump is a Russian asset.
True: Again, if he was a Russian asset he did it all wrong in his first term. Russia was slapped with sanctions and threatened with more if Putin invaded the Ukraine. He also forced NATO countries to beef up their militaries.
False: Trump wants to cut taxes for the rich.
True: Trump has announced no such plans. Trump proposes cutting corporate income taxes, which are not taxes on the rich but taxes paid for by customers of the corporations. Trump has proposed cutting income tax on Social Security income, on overtime pay, and on tips, hardly tax cuts for the rich.
False: Trump is just out for himself.
True: No points for reading the mind of your political opponent, Kamala. If Trump was just out for himself there are lots of ways to do that with less trouble. Trump has talked about how the little guy gets the shaft in America for decades. It’s not a new thing for him to stand up for the working class.
Harris said a Trump administration would lead to a “national abortion ban” and a national “monitor that would be monitoring your pregnancies, your miscarriages.”
Trump: “I'm not in favor of an abortion ban.”
False: Harris cited Trump as saying, "There will be a bloodbath" if the outcome of this election is not to his liking.
True: By “bloodbath” Trump was referring to damage to the auto industry.

They don't even try to address this meme. If Trump was Putin's asset, why did he wait until Biden was in office to invade Ukraine? Wouldn't a puppet be able to hand it over to you? Sure Trump said nice things about Putin in public? Trump's a business man and knows you can't attack a man in public and expect him to work deals in private. From reports out of the administration, Trump was tough behind the scenes and limited Putin's options.

The Sheeple will not be swayed by your facts. The Dems are neo-Maoists. They are a cult where loyalty to the cult must be regularly demonstrated by repeating the cult's lies upon penalty of expulsion, which is the worst fate for the childless cat ladies. The first Maoists killed 50 million of their population and killed 300+ million babies. Remember, "unburdened by what has been" is just a rehash of Mao's "destroy the Four Olds" policy.

I wish he had said in the debate that the only “bloodbath” going on in the country right now is Kamala’s beloved abortion industry. 2,000,000 dead babies a year. Now that’s a bloodbath
I also wish he had said in response to her assertion that people were leaving his rallies early, something like: “Oh, I didn’t realize that you watched my rallies so closely; there may be hope of you learning something useful after all. Are some of the 20,000 people at my rallies leaving early? I can’t really tell from waaay up there on the podium, with all the cheering going on.
But one thing we’re sure of, nobody is leaving your rallies early. They can’t go anywhere until the buses you brought them all in on are ready to take them all back to wherever you hired them from.”

I don't want to hear any nonsense about Kamala. She's pretty and a good dancer.

True: Only one of the candidates has recommended "termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." It is scarcely surprising, therefore, that people regard this individual as a wannabe dictator.
True: Trump's tariffs will increase the cost of living for everyone, especially the poor whose dependence on cheaper imported goods is particularly strong. People can avoid this tax by not buying imported products in the same way they can avoid the income tax by not working or the death tax by not dying.
True: Regarding the suspicion that Trump is a Russian asset, Trump went to great lengths to keep his in-person conversations with Putin private, from confiscating his interpreter’s notes to not using American translators or notetakers at all during their meetings. Where's there's smoke ...
True: Trump's standing up for the working class is demonstrated by his notorious habit of stiffing small-business vendors and contractors on his construction projects after they had completed their work. Slime personified.
