Only Dem-Marxists willing to do anything to be President
will claim Quid Pro Crooked Joe won last night’s debate. Joe Biden lied
blatantly throughout the debate. Dems lie like a snake persuading listeners
with deception under the illusion of an idyllic garden. The DonaldJTrump.com sets the
record straight. Don’t be a gullible couple in a garden swallowing deception,

*******************************
CORRECT THE RECORD: FACT CHECKING BIDEN AT THE FINAL
DEBATE
October 23, 2020
BIDEN: “[President Trump] did virtually nothing”
to combat the coronavirus.
FACT: President Trump took action beginning in
January to combat the coronavirus and his Administration has led an
unprecedented response to protect American lives.
o
According to Dr. Fauci, the Trump Administration
"acted very, very early" to combat the spread of the virus and did not delay putting in place
mitigation strategies.
o
President Trump restricted
travel from China on January 31, a decision that saved American lives.
o
On February 11, top Biden
coronavirus advisor Ron Klain admitted the Trump
Administration was “far from doing nothing.”
o
Even Democratic Governors
such as Andrew Cuomo (NY) praised the Trump
Administration’s response: “What the federal government did, working with
states, was a phenomenal accomplishment.”
o
President Trump completely overhauled the old and outdated testing system and
replaced it with an innovative new testing strategy to meet the country’s
needs.
o
President Trump used the Defense Production Act dozens
of times to expand coronavirus testing technologies and capacity.
o
President Trump
launched Operation Warp Speed to
guarantee that the American people are first in line for a safe, effective
coronavirus vaccine—at no cost—as soon as one is developed.
BIDEN: “And there's no prospect that there's
going to be a vaccine available for the majority of the American people before
the middle of next year.”
FACT: Both the CDC and Dr. Fauci have said a vaccine
is possible before the end of 2020.
o
In September,
Dr. Anthony Fauci said he believes a “safe and effective” vaccine will be
available by the end of the year.
o
In October, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is possible “one or more
COVID-19 vaccines” will be available “before the end of the year.”
o
Multiple coronavirus
vaccines are now in their final stages of development—an “impressive” accomplishment,
according to NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins.
BIDEN: “I don’t understand why this President is
unwilling to take on Putin when he’s actually paying bounties to kill American
soldiers in Afghanistan.”
FACT: Top military and intelligence officials have
strongly emphasized that the reporting of bounties is completely unproven.
o
In July, Defense Secretary
Mark Esper said “all the defense intel
agencies have been unable to corroborate that report.”
o
In September, General Frank
McKenzie Commander of U.S Central Command said that
when it comes to evidence about bounties being placed on the heads of American
service members “I just haven’t seen it.”
o
Regardless, Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo warned Russia that there would be “an enormous price to pay” if
any such bounties existed.
BIDEN: “They’re interfering with American
sovereignty and to the best of my knowledge I don’t think the president has
said anything to Putin about it.”
FACT: The Obama-Biden Administration’s Secretary of Defense, Robert
Gates, said no one has been tougher on Russia than
the Trump Administration.
o
President Trump has stood
up to Russia’s aggression by implementing strong sanctions and countering
Russian interference and aggression.
o
In July 2017, President Trump
pressed Putin on election meddling at the G-20 summit meeting.
o
In August 2017, President Trump
applied new sanctions to Russia, in an effort to deter Russian subversion and
destabilization actions.
o
In September 2017, the Trump
Administration banned the use of Kaspersky Labs software on U.S. Government
computers due to Kaspersky ties to Russian intelligence.
o
In March 2018, the Trump
Administration imposed sanctions against 16 Russian entities and individuals
for their roles in Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
o
In March 2018, President Trump
ordered the expulsion of 48 Russian intelligence officers from the United
States and ordered the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle.
o
In June 2019, President Trump told
Putin directly: “don’t meddle in the US presidential election.”
BIDEN: “[President Trump] has a secret
bank account with China.”
FACT: The bank account is neither secret
nor President Trump’s.
o
President Trump does not
have a personal Chinese bank account.
o
Long before Donald Trump
ran for president, Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C. opened an
account in order to pay local taxes in China and to explore potential hotel
deals in Asia.
o
No deals, transactions or
other business activities ever materialized, and since 2015, the business
office has remained inactive.
o
The Trump
Organization maintains bank accounts in
other countries where it does business, as international businesses typically
do.
o
The Trump Organization’s
account proves one thing: an international
hotel business was an international hotel business. Meanwhile, Joe Biden still
owes the American people answers about his foreign corruption and
dangerous ties to China.
BIDEN: “When last time he said what he
paid he said ‘I only paid that little because I’m smart, I know how to game the
system.’”
FACT: President Trump has paid millions of dollars in
federal taxes.
o
A Trump Organization
spokesman has directly said that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate” in The
New York Times’ reporting.
o
The Times’
reporting ignores that the President paid $7.4 million in federal taxes in 2017,
not $750.
o
The Times’ article
ignores millions of dollars the President has paid in payroll, property, and
other taxes, along with state and local taxes he has paid.
BIDEN: “My son has not made money in
terms of this thing about — what are you talking about – China.”
FACT: Hunter Biden attempted to negotiate multiple,
lucrative business deals with Chinese partners, and currently has an ownership
stake in a Chinese private equity firm.
o
An May 2017 email shows Hunter attempting to
cash in on an $850,000 annual “renumeration [sic] package” and ownership stake
of 20 percent as part of a deal with Chinese energy company CEFC.
o
This email also says that
10 percent equity should be held for “the big guy,” who Hunter Biden's
business associate, Tony Bobulinski, has
confirmed was Joe Biden.
o
An August 2017 email shows
Hunter tried to negotiate a deal with Ye Jianming, CEFC’s Chairman, for a $10
million annual fee for “introductions alone.”
o
The following month, Ye
opened a line of credit with Hunter that he, James Biden, and Sara Biden
all used for an extravagant $100,000 spending spree.
o
At one point in 2015, Ye even gave Hunter a
2.8-carat diamond which his wife thought was worth $80,000.
o
In September 2017, Hunter
reached an agreement with one of Ye’s lieutenants – Chi Ping Patrick Ho – for a
$1 million legal retainer on “matters related to US law and advice”; Ho has
since been convicted of bribery in a U.S. court.
o
Hunter Biden still has a 10 percent stake in
the Chinese equity firm BHR Partners.
BIDEN: “What I'd make China do is play by the
international rules.”
FACT: Biden has a history of being soft on
China.
o
Biden has spent his entire career
in Washington as weak on China, bowing to their demands and enabling China’s
rise.
o
In 2000, Biden voted to give China
most favored nation trade status, a decision that ultimately killed 3.2 million U.S. jobs.
o
Biden has said “China is not our enemy,” a
rising China is an “incredibly positive development” for
the U.S. and the world, and said “it is in our self-interest that China continue to prosper.”
BIDEN: “When I met with Xi when I was still Vice
President he said we are setting up air identification zones in the South China
Sea, you can’t fly through them. I said we are going to fly through them. We
just flew B-52 – B1 bombers through it.”
FACT: The Trump Administration, not the Obama-Biden
Administration, flew B-1 bombers through China’s air defense identification
zone.
o
In March 2017, the United States
flew a B-1 bomber through China’s self-declared air defense identification
zone.
BIDEN: “[President Trump’s] never come up with a
[health care] plan.”
FACT: President Trump has a health care plan.
o
On September 24, President
Trump unveiled his America First Health Care plan,
outlining the key policies and reforms the President supports, including
protecting Americans with pre-existing conditions.
o
In August, President
Trump released his
second term agenda, which includes health care as a central focus.
BIDEN: “There’s no way he can protect
pre-existing conditions, none, zero.”
FACT: President Trump has fought and vowed to
protect Americans with pre-existing conditions.
o
President Trump has repeatedly said he will always protect Americans with pre-existing conditions.
o
This month, President
Trump signed an executive
order ensuring pre-existing
conditions will be protected.
o
President Trump has made
protecting “all pre-existing conditions” a key point in his second term agenda.
o
The Obamacare repeal and
replace bills that Republicans in Congress supported, such as the American Health Care Act and Graham-Cassidy, included
protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions.
o
If Obamacare is struck
down, President Trump has promised to pass and support a replacement that includes pre-existing
condition protections.
BIDEN: “Not one single person with private
insurance would lose their insurance under my plan.”
FACT: Biden’s government-run health plan would crowd
out the private insurance that Americans rely on, and Biden broke the same
promise when he was Vice President.
o
Biden is campaigning on a healthcare agenda that
would cancel health plans, raise taxes, skyrocket premiums, jeopardize rural hospitals, and
bring America closer to a disastrous government-run healthcare system.
o
The public option championed
by Joe Biden will jeopardize the private insurance plans held by millions
of Americans, a fact that President Obama himself acknowledged in 2009.
o
Obamacare architect
Jonathan Gruber authored multiple studies confirming
that a public option would crowd out private health insurance plans: “if the
Democrats are right...it'll wipe out the private choice,” Gruber once said.
o
The Obama-Biden
Administration previously earned the “Lie of the Year” for making
the same promise when they passed Obamacare.
o
Biden’s running mate,
Kamala Harris, has openly said she supports eliminating private insurance.
BIDEN: “I guess we are going to get the
pre-existing condition plan the same time we get the infrastructure plan that
we’ve waited since ’17, ’18, ’19, ’20.”
FACT: President Trump released an infrastructure plan more than two years ago,
and has repeatedly called on Congress to invest trillions in our infrastructure
and included proposals in his budget to do just that.
o
In February 2018, President
Trump unveiled a plan to spur $1.5 trillion in new infrastructure spending.
o
The President
included his infrastructure plan in both his FY 2019 and his FY 2020 budgets.
o
While President Trump is
ready, willing, and able to act; Congress has failed to heed this call.
o
In his most recent budget, President
Trump again called for rebuilding our infrastructure, proposing $1 trillion in
direct federal investment to rebuild and modernize American infrastructure.
o
In March 2020, President Trump
continued to push for infrastructure funding, calling for a $2 trillion
infrastructure package as part of the phase four coronavirus response.
BIDEN: “Not one single person with private
insurance would lose their insurance under my plan nor did they under
Obamacare.”
FACT: 4 million Americans lost their health insurance in
the first year of Obamacare’s rollout.
o
In 2013, PolitiFact rated the claim
that you can keep your healthcare plan under Obamacare as the “lie of the
year.”
BIDEN: “[President Trump] hasn’t done a thing
for anybody on health care. Not a thing.”
FACT: This is completely false. President Trump is
fighting to ensure the American people have access to affordable, world-class
healthcare.
o
The Trump Administration
has taken numerous actions to increase choice and competition in
health care to bring down costs, saving Americans billions of dollars.
§
The Trump Administration has expanded the use of
short-term, limited-duration health insurance (STLD) plans, expanded access to Association
Health Plans (AHPs), and expanded Health Reimbursement
Arrangements (HRAs).
o
President Trump has also
repeatedly made it clear that he will always protect Americans with pre-existing conditions.
§
President Trump recently
signed an executive order making it the official policy of the federal government.
§
President Trump has made
“cover all pre-existing conditions” a key point in his second term agenda.
o
President Trump is working
to protect the most vulnerable in our healthcare system, including by signing
historic Right to Try legislation, giving terminally ill patients
hope and the ability to try new experimental drugs.
BIDEN: “This is the guy that the actuary of
Medicare said if, in fact, of Social Security, if, in fact, he continues to
withhold – his plan to withhold the tax on Social Security, Social Security
will be bankrupt in – by 2023, with no way to make up for it.”
FACT: This attack from Biden is false and has
previously been debunked by fact checkers. The President’s payroll tax deferral
will not harm Social Security.
o
The Washington Post’s Fact Checker gave Biden’s attack “Four
Pinocchios,” saying Biden and other “Democrats ginned up a letter from [Social
Security’s] chief actuary to describe a plan that does not currently exist.”
§
FactCheck.org and USA Today have debunked
this and similar claims from Biden’s campaign and his allies.
o
President Trump has said he
wants to make the payroll tax deferral permanent next year, making this deferral
a cut “without in any way, shape, or form hurting Social Security.”
§
The President has said he
would use the Treasury Department’s general fund to reimburse Social Security’s
trust fund, ensuring zero impact on our nation’s seniors.
o
Biden’s attack is not only
false, it is hypocritical.
§
In 2011, Biden wrote an
op-ed touting a bill Obama signed to cut the payroll tax, specifically saying
it was “misinformation” to suggest a
payroll tax cut hurt Social Security’s solvency.
o
President Trump has
promised to always protect Social Security, unlike Biden who bragged in the
1990s about his efforts to “freeze” benefits.
BIDEN: “This is the guy who’s tried to cut
Medicare.”
FACT: The Washington Post Fact
Checker previously gave Biden two Pinocchios for
making this claim.
o
This is part of
Biden’s attempt to scare seniors and
distract from his own record of trying to cut Social Security and Medicare.
o
President Trump has
repeatedly promised to protect
Social Security and Medicare. He has made it clear he
will always fight to protect Americans’
hard-earned retirement benefits.
BIDEN: “Where I come from in Scranton and
Claymont, the people don’t live off of the stock market.”
FACT: A majority of the American people own
stock either directly or indirectly, meaning they are helped by a stronger
stock market.
o
According to the Federal Reserve, a majority of Americans
– 53 percent – directly and indirectly own stocks.
o
55 percent of Americans polled
by Gallup say they have money invested in the stock market.
o
Under President Trump, a
higher stock market has led to higher retirement
account balances for America’s seniors and those planning for retirement.
o
Joe and Jill Biden own stocks through mutual
funds and a variable annuity, meaning Biden himself has benefitted from the
higher stock market.
BIDEN: “But these guys will not help them, not
giving them any of the [PPP] money.”
FACT: President Trump’s Paycheck Protection Program
(PPP) saved 51 million jobs.
o
Joe Biden has lied for
months, falsely claiming the President's Paycheck Protection Program
wasn’t working. He supported delaying additional funding and even urged surrogates to lie
about the program’s success.
o
The Paycheck Protection
Program has provided $525 billion to over 5.2 million U.S. businesses,
protecting more than 51 million jobs.
o
President Trump ensured that $30 billion of the Paycheck Protection Program was
reserved for small financial institutions serving minority communities.
BIDEN: “We did not separate [families at the
border]”
FACT: The Obama-Biden Administration separated
families at the border.
o
Obama-Biden Homeland
Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he couldn’t say that family
separations “never happened.”
o
Therese Cardinal Brown,
director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy
Center, said the Obama-Biden administration “did separate some families.”
BIDEN: “You know my daughter is a social
worker.”
FACT: Ashley Biden has not been a social worker for
more than 8 years.
o
Ashley Biden has not been a
social worker since she left Delaware’s Department Of Services For Children, Youth and
Their Families.
o
In 2012, Ashley Biden
became the Executive Director of the Delaware Center Of Justice which was an “advocacy” organization in which she
served as an administrator, not a social worker.
TRUMP: “You mean the laptop is now another
Russia, Russia, Russia hoax?” BIDEN: “That’s exactly what –
that’s exactly what we’re told.”
FACT: The Director of National Intelligence,
Department of Justice, and FBI all agree that Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part
of a foreign disinformation campaign.
o
Director of National Intelligence John
Ratcliffe said that the emails and documents found on Hunter Biden’s laptop are
not connected to Russian disinformation.
o
Justice Department officials agree
with DNI Ratcliffe's assessment.
BIDEN: “38,000 prisoners were released
from federal prison. We had -- there were over 1,000 people who were given
clemency.”
FACT: Biden is off by nearly a factor of
20; less than 2,000 petitions for pardons and commutations were approved under
the Obama-Biden administration.
o
Under the eight years of
the Obama-Biden Administration, 1,927 petitions for pardons and commutations were
approved
§
Nearly 20,500 petitions for
clemency were denied.
§
Among those given clemency
by the Obama-Biden Administration were terrorist bomber Oscar Lopez Rivera and national security leaker Chelsea Manning.
o
By comparison, the First
Step Act – signed by President Trump – is reuniting more families than Obama-Biden
clemencies ever did:
§
More than 3,400 prisoners have had their
sentences reduced under the First Step Act.
§
More than 1,700 prisoners
have seen compassionate releases or reduction in sentences.
§
More than 1,000 elderly
prisoners have been granted home confinement.
o
Biden was the “architect” of mass incarceration that put
countless black Americans behind bars for nonviolent crimes.
§
Biden repeatedly bragged that his
name was on “every major crime bill” that Congress passed.
TRUMP: “I just asked, I just asked one
question. Why didn’t you do it in the eight years, a short time ago? Why didn’t
you do it?...” BIDEN: “We had a Republican congress. That’s
the answer.”
FACT: The Democratic Party had full control of both
houses of Congress during the first two years of the Obama-Biden
Administration, yet they failed to pass criminal justice reform.
o
From 2009 to 2011, Democrats
controlled both chambers of Congress.
BIDEN: “Four more years of this man
eliminating all the regulations that were put in by us to clean up the climate,
to clean up, to limit the emissions will put us in a position where we're going
to be in real trouble.”
FACT: President Trump has taken action to preserve
our climate and ensure that every American has access to the most pristine
water and the cleanest air.
o
In 2019, the United
States led the entire world in
reducing CO2 emissions.
o
Under President
Trump, emissions of all key air pollutants have dropped,
including emissions of carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and
sulfur dioxide.
o
The Trump Administration
has invested over $38 billion in clean water infrastructure.
o
President Trump’s EPA
has cleaned up 109 bodies of water and
awarded $20 billion for more than 4,500 clean water projects.
o
The EPA has cleaned up
the largest number of superfund pollution sites since 2001,
and is forcing the biggest polluters to pay more than ever before for cleanups.
BIDEN: “And right now, by the way, Wall Street
firm (Moody’s) has indicated that my plan, my plan will in fact create 18.6
million jobs, 7 million more than his.”
FACT: The outfit Biden cited – Moody’s – has a
history of drastically underestimating the
positive effects of President Trump’s economic
policies.
o
In 2016, Moody’s estimated
then-candidate Trump’s economic plans would lead to higher unemployment rates
under every scenario; in fact, the unemployment rate fell to a half-century low under
President Trump before the pandemic hit.
o
Moody’s drastically underestimated job growth and
the increase in the stock market under
Trump.
BIDEN: “I have never said I oppose
fracking.”
FACT: Biden has repeatedly expressed his support
for banning fracking, wiping out fracking jobs, and eliminating the fossil fuel
industry.
o
Biden admitted during a
debate last year there would be “no place” for fossil fuels,
including fracking, in a Biden presidency, and that fossil fuels would be
“eliminated.”
o
Biden agreed with a
supporter in January that fracking needed to be stopped.
o
Biden said in February that
he wants to “phase out” oil and gas.
o
In March, Biden exclaimed “so am I!” after
Bernie Sanders said he was campaigning on “stopping fracking as soon as we
possibly can.”
o
Last year, Biden pledged to
a supporter that he would “end” fossil fuels.
o
Biden said he would “sacrifice” “hundreds of thousands”
of oil and gas jobs in pursuit of his anti-energy agenda.
o
Biden’s running mate,
Kamala Harris, wants to eliminate all fracking, saying
“there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
BIDEN: “The guy who got in trouble in Ukraine
was this guy trying to bribe the Ukrainian government to say something negative
about me.”
FACT: There is no evidence President Trump
pressured the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden for the purpose of
benefiting him in the 2020 election.
o
Ambassador Marie
Yovanovitch testified that she had no
evidence that President Trump bribed anyone in Ukraine.
o
Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the
President of Ukraine, insisted that he faced “no blackmail” from President Trump
in their phone call.
BIDEN: “My response is he is xenophobic,
but not because he shut down access from China…”
FACT: Biden accused President Trump of
“hysterical xenophobia” the same day the Trump Administration announced its
travel ban; as the timeline makes clear, Biden was talking about the China
travel ban.
o
On January 31, Biden accused
President Trump of “hysterical xenophobia.”
o
Biden was speaking at 4 p.m. in Iowa that day,
just after Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar officially announced the China travel ban and
hours after reports emerged that the travel ban would be announced.
o
On March 26, Biden’s campaign again declined to endorse the
China travel ban when asked by The Washington Post about his
stance.
o
Biden refused to endorse
the China travel ban until April 3, more than two
months after it was announced.
WELKER: “There have been questions about the
work your son has done in China and for a Ukrainian energy company when you
were Vice President. In retrospect, was anything about those relationships
inappropriate or unethical?” BIDEN: “Nothing was unethical.”
FACT: Multiple State Department officials expressed alarm about Hunter Biden’s job with Burisma and
the potential for a conflict-of-interest.
o
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik: “Joe
Biden is lying to the American people. Every single witness during
impeachment hearings testified that Hunter Biden serving on the board of
Burisma was a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest.
I know. Because I asked each and every one.”
o
State Department official Amos Hochstein confirmed Joe
Biden told Hunter about conflict of interest concerns Hochstein had raised
surrounding Burisma.
o
Deputy Assistant Secretary Of State George Kent acknowledged
there was a “conflict of interest” with Hunter Biden and Burisma.
o
Russia & Europe Adviser to Vice President Pence Jennifer
Williams agreed that there was a conflict of
interest between Hunter Biden and Burisma.
BIDEN: “He has caused the deficit with China to
go up not down, with China, up not down.”
FACT: The trade deficit with China is falling and
“fell sharply” in 2019.
o
PolitiFact rated Biden’s claim
“mostly false.”
o
The Washington Post: “This is
wrong.”

claimed that the United States has ‘a higher deficit with China…’”
o
Los Angeles Times: “No, the
trade deficit with China isn’t higher now.”
o
The New York Times: “This is
false.”
BIDEN: “Schools, they need a lot of money to
open. They need to deal with ventilation systems, they need to deal with
smaller classes, more teachers, more pods. And he’s refused to support that
money, or at least up to now.”
FACT: President Trump has publicly supported another
coronavirus relief bill.
o
Last week, President Trump has
expressed support for a bigger relief bill.
