Still refusing to accept the results of an election he lost, Trump made numerous false claims about how the 2020 presidential election was “rigged.” For example, Trump claimed, “If you look at True the Vote, they found millions of votes on camera, on government cameras, where [Democrats] were stuffing ballot boxes.” Trump is referring to the “2000 ...
Toward the end of the town hall, Collins revisited the topic of Trump’s baseless voter fraud claims. Collins asked Trump about his Jan. 2, 2021, phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger — which has become the focus of a criminal investigationby the Fulton County district attorney’s office into whether Trump tried to illegally ove...

“We were energy independent” during his administration, Trump said. The U.S. never stopped relying on foreign sources of energy under Trump, as his claim suggested.

Trump falsely claimed that “energy” — a reference to gasoline prices — “went from $1.87 to $5, $6, $7, $8 and even $9.” The average price of regular gasoline was $2.38 per gallon the week Trump left office in January 2021, up from a low of $1.77 the final week of April 2020, according toEnergy Information Administration figures.

Trump claimed that before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, “They could kill the baby in the ninth month or after the baby was born. Now they won’t be able to do that.” As we wrotein 2019 when he made a similar claim, killing a baby is a homicide.
