The lies of Donald Trump
PolitiFact.com


It "is Hillary Clinton's agenda" to "release the violent criminals from jail. She wants them all released." Don't hold your breath, Kaczynski.




Even among "second and third generation" Muslims in the United States, "there's no real assimilation." Data shows otherwise.




We've broken "by millions" the all-time record for votes in a GOP presidential primary election. Trump gets ahead of himself, by "millions."




"We don't know anything about Hillary in terms of religion. Now, she's been in the public eye for years and years, and yet there's no - there's nothing out there." Only if you don't look.




"The Obama administration was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that became the Islamic State." U.S. has always opposed ISIS and its predecessors.




President Barack Obama "wants to take in 250,000 (people) from Syria." Not even close.




"There are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world. You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously." What about Baghdad, Damascus and Tripoli?




"I wanted to keep it private, because I don't think it's anybody's business if I want to send money to the vets." He could have kept quiet, but didn't.
