What the evidence supports
Trump had ended seven unendable wars.
Trump played a role in some ceasefires and accords, but several cited conflicts were not wars, remained violent or unresolved, or involved disputed U.S. influence.
Inflation had been defeated.
Inflation was still positive and had risen since the spring, with August CPI around 2.9% year over year.
Grocery prices were down under Trump.
Average grocery prices were higher than when Trump returned to office, even though some individual items had declined.
U.S. electricity bills were coming way down.
Electricity prices were higher than a year earlier and higher than in January.
The United States had secured $17 trillion in new investment commitments and money paid in eight months.
The figure exceeded the White House's own recent public tally and relied on commitments that were not documented as paid investment.
China has very few wind farms and barely uses wind energy.
China had the world's largest operating wind-farm capacity and the largest number of operating wind farms.
Wind energy is the most expensive energy ever conceived and cannot exist without massive subsidies.
Onshore wind is often cheaper than coal or gas on a levelized-cost basis, while nuclear is typically more expensive than wind.
Wind energy does not work because the wind does not always blow.
Wind is variable, but grids use multiple power sources and storage rather than relying on wind alone.
Global warming is a hoax and the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.
Scientific evidence shows the planet is warming and that human greenhouse-gas emissions are the primary driver.
Scientists switched from saying global warming to climate change because the Earth started cooling.
Scientists use both terms; climate change describes the broader effects of a warming planet, not a retreat from warming evidence.
The Paris climate accord required the United States to pay about $1 trillion.
The accord did not require the United States to pay $1 trillion, and U.S. climate-finance commitments were far lower.
China did not have to act or pay under the Paris accord until 2030.
The Paris accord took effect for all participating countries in 2016 and allowed each country to set its own voluntary targets.
Coal is clean, beautiful coal.
Coal plants can use pollution controls, but coal combustion still emits pollutants and more carbon dioxide than other fossil-fuel power sources.
Twenty-five million people entered the United States under Biden.
Federal encounter data, even with estimated gotaways, did not come close to 25 million people entering the country.
The Biden administration lost more than 300,000 migrant children, many of whom were raped, exploited, abused, sold or killed.
The cited inspector general report covered years spanning both administrations and did not establish that hundreds of thousands of children were missing or harmed.
Trump had the highest poll numbers he had ever had.
Public polling averages showed his approval well below peaks from earlier in the year and his first term.
