      Re: It's time to let go of Trump.

      CNN is continuing to fact check the rest of his rally and this story will be updated.

      The election
      Trump claimed that he actually won the 2020 election but it was "rigged."

      "We won in 2016. We won by much more in 2020 but it was rigged," he said. Later he reiterated the claim, saying "It's a rigged system. Like we had a rigged election."

      Facts First: This is one of Trump's regular lies. He lost the 2020 election, fair and square. Democrat Joe Biden won a 306-232 victory in the Electoral College -- earning over seven million more votes than Trump, good for a margin of 51.3% to 46.8%.

      The trade deficit with China
      Trump went on to repeat a version of a false claim that he made more than 100 times as president -- that the US used to have a trade deficit with China of more than $500 billion. On Saturday he claimed that before he took office, "China was ripping us off, making $600 billion a year."

      Facts First: The US has never had a $600 billion trade deficit with China, even if you only count trade in goods and ignore the services trade in which the US runs a surplus with China. The pre-Trump record for a goods deficit with China was about $367 billion in 2015. The goods deficit hit a new record of about $418 billion under Trump in 2018 before falling back under $400 billion in subsequent years.

      Tariffs on China
      Trump also repeated a trade claim he made frequently during his presidency. Speaking of China, he said he "did a little tariff hunting" with China and "we took in hundreds of billions of dollars. I got the farmers of our country $28 billion."

      Facts First: Trump's claim about who is paying the tariff money is false. Study after study has found that Americans are bearing the cost of Trump's tariffs on imported Chinese products. And American importers, not Chinese exporters, make the actual tariff payments to the US government.

          Does bullshitman2 have the intelligence of a worm? At least worms stay away from hooks and fishermen. Even amoeba avoid bleach. Bullshitman2 is human, I think, and can't see he is wrong, much less, learn to learn and evolve into a smart person.

                What? You're going to the room with the padded walls and those funny backwards jackets?
                Good, I'm glad you're finally getting treated.

                    How old is Treudont?
                    What does Justin shoot for 18 holes?
                    Has Treudont ever ran a multi million dollar company?

                        Trudeau loves communism and adored Castro. Wonder

                          Trudeau wants to rule Canada like stalin ruled ussr. You should go to cuba or Venezuela.

                            ... the point of the video, if you bothered to watch it, is that Justin Trudeau is a very healthy middle aged man who can easily take a joke about himself and carry on with business.

                            Who cares about his golf score.

                            Recent history has proven that businessmen can be very bad political leaders. To be a successful politician, who serves his constituents well, is a different skill set from the business world.
