Trump begins his Made In America Showcase speech by holding up a green hat he says says Make Our Farmers Great Again. "I just had them made up, and that's the way I feel," he says.
Did not hear what prompted this, but Trump, in the middle of listing various made in America products, said, "Ten years ago I was perfect. Now, I don't know."
Trump on the F-35: "I was saying, 'how do you compare this with a certain other plane from the enemy?'...'The difference is, when we fight, they can't see our plane.' It's called stealth. SUPER stealth."
After accurately boasting of records for African-Americans and Hispanics, Trump misleadingly says women's unemployment "recently reached a 65-year low. We think that's probably the lowest ever." Was never the lowest ever; was 65-year low in May, went up in June, now 18-year-low.
Trump falsely claims of the WTO: "We always had a minority of judges. They gave us fewer judges than other countries had...I said, I know why." Previous fact check on this:
For the seventh time, Trump repeats his lie about U.S. Steel: "U.S. Steel now is opening up six plants."
Trump repeats his lie that the U.S. is now doing much better at the WTO than it used to. Previous fact check on this:
For the ninth time, Trump claims that he's cut more regulations than even the president who served for 16 years. No president has served longer than Roosvelt's 12.
Trump falsely says, "Obamacare's very rapidly fading away." He jabs at McCain again, snarkily saying, "wonder who that was."
Trump on U.S. history: "People don't know too much about McKinley."
Trump falsely says Apple is spending "$350 billion on new plants and an incredible campus." Apple is not building any new U.S. plants; more than $250 billion of that $350 billion announcement appeared to be pre-planned operational spending. Previous fact check:
Trump says "globalists" say it's okay to shut down car factories and fire everybody, but it's not okay to him.
Trump, who has long made his products abroad, says it matters to him, unlike others, that things are made in America.
And that speech his done. It was not extremely honest.
One other thing from that speech: Trump vaguely said he's talking to Mexico's new president about "doing something very dramatic" on trade.
