25. It is at least "HALF FACTUAL."

Tue Sep 26, 2017, 03:41 PM

Sep 2017

Politifact concludes:

"The Democratic Party is correct that taxpayers are left with a nearly $33 million bill, but it exaggerates when it points the finger exclusively at Trump, omitting important details about the recession’s impact on the resort and its financial woes years before Trump’s involvement.

We rate this claim Half True."
