Fact-checkers beclown themselves covering Trump's thunderous town hall. Here's the worst in show. | Blaze Media

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : President Donald Trump joined Sean Hannity Wednesday evening for a town hall interview in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania -- a state where Trump appears now to be eking out a slim advantage in the polls.
53% : Orbán told Politico's parent company Axel Springer in July that Trump "is the man of peace.
41% : According to Newsweek's interpretation, Trump would have been right on the money.
40% : Trump said, "We're heading into World War III territory," indicating this is all the more troubling "because of the power of weapons -- nuclear weapons in particular, but other weapons also, and I know the weapons better than anybody because I'm the one who bought them.""You need a president that's not going to be taking you into war.
40% : Citing PolitiFact, Newsweek then stated in its fact-check that:Trump may have arrived at the 21 million figure due to a further 11.6 million people who were not stopped by officials at the border, although this figure is based on a subjective and unverified count and the true number of crossings is unclear.
37% : Trump hammered Kamala Harris on her record, over the "coup" that resulted in her becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, and on her reluctance to engage meaningfully with the fourth estate.
32% : "After noting Wednesday that he went "four years without any blowups," Trump suggested to Hannity that his leadership now might be the difference between nuclear holocaust and relative peace.
32% : "This country will end up in a depression if she becomes president," Trump told Hannity.
27% : While the Republican set out a bold vision for international peace and American prosperity, self-described fact-checkers worked furiously to cast doubt on virtually every sentence Trump uttered.
27% : At the outset, Trump characterized the world as "sick and angry" and vowed to "heal" it -- in part by "get[ting] rid of all these wars that are starting all over the place because of incompetent American leadership.
25% : Whereas PolitFact has previously suggested that the Jan. 6, 2021, protests at the Capitol constituted a coup, it maintains that the Russia collusion hoax instigated by outgoing Obama officials and elements of the Democratic Party that was aimed, ostensibly, at kneecapping or removing Trump from office was not a coup nor was the pressure campaign to remove Biden as the Democratic candidate in this election.
24% : "Jacobson also quoted an associate political science professor from Muskingum University who suggested Trump would have been unable to prevent Russia's invasion of Ukraine "without simply selling out the Ukrainians and giving Putin what he wanted, or putting American armed forces in Ukraine.
24% : "Trump is evidently not alone in thinking Harris' proposal is a little red.
22% : In his recent interview with Lex Fridman, Trump explained why he has taken to characterizing Harris and other radicals as communists, noting that "she came out with price controls. ...
20% : There's never been a tax increase like it, on top of which she wants to add a lot of tax," added Trump, referencing Harris' proposed 28% tax on long-term capital gains.
18% : At one stage, Trump referred to his opponent as "Comrade Harris.
18% : After Hannity played a montage of Harris defending open-border policies and incentives for illegal immigration, he and Trump blasted the vice president over her shortcomings as America's "border czar" -- a title and role PolitFact suggested was largely a thing of fiction.
17% : Nevertheless, the fact-checking outfit concluded: "No, Harris wasn't put in charge of border enforcement."While prickled by allusions to Harris' "border czar" role, PolitiFact's Maria Ramirez Uribe, a former race and equity reporter, appeared more concerned with Trump's suggestion that over 20 million illegal aliens have "poured into our country.""There's never been a country that allowed 21 million people to come in over a three-year period," Trump told Hannity, apparently factoring in an estimate of the number of illegal aliens who have entered without encountering federal agents.
16% : "PolitiFact's Amy Sherman and Jeff Cercone swooped in to reassure their readers that once again, Trump was mistaken.

13% : "Trump reiterated that the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine "would have never happened" had he been office -- repeatedly referencing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's recent suggestion that Trump was effectively an antidote to the prevailing chaos, particularly in Eastern Europe.
10% : "Trump criticized Harris, the daughter of a Marxist economist and advocate for "equality of outcome[s]," over her proposed wealth redistribution scheme and her presently vague economic agenda.
7% : Uribe, desperate to suggest Trump had overstated the number of illegal aliens pouring into the country under Harris' watch, suggested that:During Biden's administration, immigration officials have encountered immigrants illegally crossing the U.S. border around 10 million times.
