CNN's Daniel Dale fact-checks Trump on a weekly basis, so keep an eye out for that, but the President made these claims in the span of one interaction with reporters: He said things that are merely debatable, like his insistence that if he hadn't started his trade war with China, the stock market would be 10,000 points higher or his claim that he had single-handedly stopped China from becoming a bigger economy than the US. He said things that are outright untrue, like his promise that US farmers affected by the hurricane could be given succor from money the US government has brought in from his tariffs on China, a mischaracterization of how the federal treasury works and an inflation of how much money the tariffs have brought into the treasury.
