CNN Fact Check

Trump lied more tonight. Bombardment of dishonesty. Barrage incessantly of false and misleading stuff.
Biden was imperfect.

Trump said 2.2 million people were expected to die: Real figure falsely described. (If no one did anything to fight the virus, 2.2 million deaths.)
Trump said coronavirus will go away. FALSE

So how many did Dementia Don save world-wide? By keeping people from flying out of China, his claim to fame, more people in China would have died. But it didn’t happen.

...point in my mind dozens of times now, and it pisses me off it hardly ever gets countered.

And all the BS about blocking travel from China, about Fauci's early comments on masks, etc. Hardly ever straightened out and made clear.
