Fact check: Trump falsely claims the US had no terrorist attacks during his presidency - CNN

Washington CNN —

Former President Donald Trump made numerous false claims in a campaign speech Monday in New Hampshire.

Trump falsely claimed that the United States had no terrorist attacks during his presidency. He falsely claimed that Republican presidential rival Nikki Haley had initially proposed “to flood” the US with refugees from Gaza.

He repeated his frequent lie that the 2020 election was “rigged” and “stolen.” He wrongly described an exchange he had with Joe Biden and a moderator during a 2020 presidential debate.

And he repeated a variety of familiar false claims from his presidency. Those included his regular assertion that no previous president had secured any revenue from tariffs on China – in fact, the US has had tariffs on Chinese goods for more than two centuries and was taking in billions per year under his predecessor – and his old story about approving a policy that supposedly gave 10 years in jail to anyone who damaged a monument; that’s not what his executive order did.

Trump also claimed with no evidence that Biden has received money from China.

Below are more detailed fact checks of Trump’s inaccurate claims about terrorist attacks under his watch and Haley’s stance on accepting refugees from Gaza.
