How can we be sure that his supporters are really Americans and not subversive
plants by our enemies? Most of them don't work for a living and use the
Nazi salute in support of a loudmouth draft dodging pole smoker who hates
America.
Donald Trump has lied in debates, sent threatening tweets, misled
interviewers, and circulated outrageous personal and political conspiracy
theories throughout his presidential campaign.
On Monday, Trump made clear that his habit of getting the facts wrong wasn’t
limited to the rough-and-tumble nature of a primary campaign: He made
repeated, clearly false assertions throughout a high-profile speech about the
Orlando shooting, a major domestic crisis. The speech was read from a
teleprompter and presumably written over several hours and, one would imagine,
with the help of Trump’s staff.
"The mouth moves and the lies pour forth," wrote the New Yorker’s David
Remnick in a story published Monday morning about Trump’s response to the
shooting. And that was before Trump’s speech in the afternoon.
Here are 9 of the most egregious things Trump got wrong in the speech.
1) Trump: There’s no screening for refugees coming to the US
We're not screening people. So why don't we have an effective screening
system? We don't. We're being laughed at all over the world. The burden is on
Hillary Clinton to tell us why we should admit anyone into our country who
supports violence of any kind against gay and lesbian Americans.
The truth: Trump is wrong: There is an extensive, onerous screening process
for refugees who come to America. You can see so yourself here.
2) Trump criticizes Libya intervention, supported it himself
For instance, the last major NATO mission was Hillary Clinton's war in
Libya. That mission helped unleash ISIS on a new continent.
The truth: Trump has repeatedly characterized Libya as a unique failure of
President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy. But he actively
supported that intervention, even though he's spent much of his candidacy
pretending he didn't.
3) Trump: Clinton wants to admit "hundreds of thousands" of refugees to the US
Altogether under the Clinton plan, you'd be admitting hundreds of
thousands of refugees from the Middle East with no system to prevent
radicalization of the children and their children.
The truth: Trump is wrong here as well: Clinton has only called for increasing
the number of Syrian refugees by 65,000, according to CNN.
4) Trump: The Orlando shooter was "born this Afghan"
The killer, whose name I will not use or ever say was born this Afghan, of
Afghan parents, who emigrated to the United States.
The truth: Trump is wrong: Omar Saddiqui Mateen, the killer, was born in New
York and raised in Florida.
5) Trump: "Large numbers" of Somali refugees joining ISIS
Large numbers of Somali refugees have tried to join ISIS. The male shooter
in San Bernardino, again whose name I will not mention, was the child of
immigrants from Pakistan and he brought his wife.
The truth: This dramatically misrepresents the number of Somali refugees from
the US who have joined ISIS, which a New York Times story pegs at no more than
15. Perhaps Trump is speaking about Somali refugees globally, but given when
he made this point — during a part of his speech about domestic terrorism —
that’s almost certainly giving him too much credit.
6) Trump: Obama’s "famous apology tour" created ISIS
We've tried it President Obama's way. Doesn't work. He gave the world his
apology tour. We got ISIS. And many other problems in return. That's what we
got. Remember the famous apology tour
The truth: There is a coherent conservative critique of President Obama's
speeches abroad, in which he has at times acknowledged America's faults in
foreign wars. And there is a coherent conservative critique of President
Obama's approach to defeating ISIS.
But Trump isn't engaging with either narrative. He's instead just drawing a
direct link from Obama "apology tour" to the birth of ISIS, and I'm not aware
of any serious attempt to connect the two. Trump certainly doesn't give any
reason to believe they're related.
Even if you look at the supposed apologies that have to do with Islamic
terrorism or the Muslim world, it’s not clear how they could have possibly
created ISIS.
7) Trump: Hillary Clinton wants to ban guns
[Hillary Clinton] says the solution is to ban guns. ... She wants to take
away Americans' guns and then admit the very people who want to slaughter us.
Let them come into the country. We don't have guns. ...
She wants to take away Americans' guns and then admit the very people who
want to slaughter us. Let them come into the country. We don't have guns. Let
them come in, let them have all the fun they want.
The truth: Clinton has not called for anything remotely resembling a ban on
guns — she wants to ban assault weapons but has otherwise not called for a gun
ban. Someone listening to Trump's speech would have come away with an entirely
wrong idea of her policy.
8) Trump’s criticism on pushing for regime change in Syria
The decision to overthrow the regime in Libya, then pushing for the
overthrow of the regime in Syria, among other things, without plans for the
day after, have created space for ISIS to expand and grow.
The truth: As with his initial approval of the Libya invasion, Trump has
grossly distorted his record on Syria. (As Vox’s Matt Yglesias points out, he
once called for a "big, beautiful safe zone" in the country.)
The weirder, specific problem here is the knock on Clinton and Obama for
creating ISIS by "pushing for the overthrow of the regime in Syria" — when
Trump has himself called for ground troops in Syria.
9) Trump suggests Muslims need to do more to help fight terrorism
They have to work with us. They know what is going on. They know that he
was bad. They knew the people in San Bernardino were bad. But you know, what
they didn't turn them in and we had death.
The truth: This line revives a long-running Trump suggestion that Muslims are
largely to blame for not really joining us in the fight against terrorism.
As Vox’s Zack Beauchamp has noted, this is "bullshit."
"The statistics are clear," Beauchamp wrote in March. "In the US, Muslim
communities have been extraordinarily forthcoming with the police in terrorism
cases."
