Presidential Debate
Some fact checking

I wrote this days ago, and editors seem to be busy, so I will just publish this myself.
I just watched the presidential debate and have some thoughts.
- Trump does not understand how tariffs work. Tariffs do increase prices since other countries reciprocate with their own tariffs.
- Most immigrants do not come here from mental institutions. They are not criminals. Concerning borders? Trump could not build his wall; why does his fault Harris?
- Trump did not do a “phenomenal job” during the pandemic. He denied for a long time that a pandemic even existed.
- Trump does not understand what “Marxism” is. Kamala Harris is not a Marxist.
- No state here ever condoned or legalized “executing a baby.” Trump was never a leader on IVF.
- The U. S. will not turn into “Venezuela on steroids” under Harris. There is no basis for this claim.
- Trump says about Harris, “defund the police. She’s been against that.” Later he says she “was big on defunding the police.” Trump cannot argue logically.
- Harris is not planning “transgender operations on illegal aliens.”
- Trump still whines about winning an election he clearly lost.
