Five False Claims From the First Presidential Debate

[mwcoleburn]

Whoever thinks food prices are only up 20% are the worst liars of all

[jessebishop]

Trumps claim on food prices was not false. If anything it’s quadrupled on certain things. The person writing this must not do the grocery shopping.

[deeez]

When the Dollar Menu now costs $3 it has indeed tripled.

[MAllen-ngpl]

We cannot have an American president who has Alzheimer’s. This is unacceptable

[Jayj]

I wish food only went up 21% …I guess we need a fact checker for the fact check

[dixienormous]

I used to have to struggle to get the small grocery cart to go over $100 when i go to the grocery store. I filled one up for $200 last week. 21% my ass.

[Keefer]

Dude straight up said “ the border patrol union endorsed me” he’s confusing them with all the people he’s letting just walk into our country 😂

[GLDFILMS]

I went to the grocery store 2 days ago. I bought 4 items. Milk, bread, sliced turkey, and frozen pancakes. The total was $29. FOR 4 ITEMS. $29.

[marycrawford]

Even the dollar tree store is now $1.25. That is a 25% increase, right?

[BA-ytwp]

Maybe on average, food prices have only gone up 21.2% according to that source. All of my food costs are at least double what they were just two years ago. Some have tripled and quadrupled. It depends on the food. Regardless, I have had to adjust my family's diet according to the higher prices on food.

[anti-them]

why is the news so disingenuous about every single thing trump says? its disgusting.

[walshja]

Gotta love a good fact check that is also false.

[MartyHartman-wlhd]

And the Democrats paint Trump as a liar what a bunch of hypocites

[dboogeman]

Foods only up 21 percent yet a hamburger has gone from $1 to $3 and a pork chop at a gas station went from $1.69 to

[vice]

I can assure you food prices realistically are not only up 21%.

[Qingeaton]

Joe said that NO troops died during his watch. Can you imagine being one of the parents of the 13 who did in Afghanistan....having your child's life and sacrifice erased by the man who got them killed? I can't. I'd be furious.

[Desird]

A roast at my local grocer has went from 16$ to slightly over 40$, I’m not the best at math but that seems a little more than 21% to me.

[joltmann]

So one is exaggerating and the other lies

[willmill]

During trumps last months in office I could get a 60 count box of eggs for $5. That same box went up to around $14 once biden took office

[gutsbiker]

I guess Trump should have said, Iran's ability to fund terrorism was greatly reduced under his administration. And that is the truth. He should choose his words better. It was not a lie, just over stated.
