Here’s How Many Times Trump Lied During His Weird RNC Speech
During his speech, Trump had claimed that his opponents inherited a world “at peace.”
“Trump did not achieve world peace when he was president, certainly wasn’t at peace when he left office,” Dale explained. “There were active wars or armed conflicts in dozens of nations in 2020, 51 by one research institution’s count, and then 51 again in 2021.”
“Trump handed President Biden ongoing civil wars in Yemen and Syria, of course, an unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israeli-Iranian conflict, a war in Ethiopia,” Dale explained. There were also the U.S. troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, a civil war in Somalia, insurgents fighting Africa’s Sahel region, violent clashes between drug cartels in Mexico, to name a few others, according to CNN.
