ISIS

Obama said, "If you look

worldwide, the number of
terrorist incidents have not
substantially increased."

There is no universally accepted

definition of a terrorist incident, so
there is no universally accepted
count. Based on State Department
data, theres been a 7 percent
increase in terrorist attacks
worldwide from 2009 to 2015. But
the State Departments criteria for
what can be counted as a terrorist
attack is stricter than that of other
databases. According to STARTs
Global Terrorism Database, for
instance, there was a 214 percent
rise in terrorist attacks from 2009
to 2015, a substantial increase. Politifact

Mostly False

Education

Trump said, We spend more

money per student than
almost any other major
country in the world.

Lets run through the numbers. At

the state and federal level, the
United States spends more than
$620 billion dollars on K-12
education each year," Trump said
on Sept. 8, 2016. "Thats an
average of about $12,296 dollars
for every student enrolled in our
elementary and secondary public
schools. The federal government
pays for about 10 percent of the
K-12 costs. The other roughly
$560 billion dollars spent on K -12
education comes from the states
themselves. We spend more per
student than almost any other
major country in the world. And
were doing very poorly in terms
of A-list. - Political Facts

True

Criminal Justice

Donald Trump said, We

have an increased in murder
within our cities, in the
biggest in 45 years.

Those statistics showed that the

number of murders and
non-negligent homicides rose
nationally between 2014 and 2015
by 10.8 percent. When we checked
the numbers, we confirmed that
this increase does rank as the
biggest year-to-year jump in
murders since 1970-71, when the
number rose by 11.1 percent. That
was exactly 45 years ago. Political Facts

Mostly True

Abortion

I am opposed to abortion
except for rape, incest and
life of the mother. I oppose
the use of government funds
to pay for abortions.

On october 24, 1999, Donald J

Trump was featured in an
interview on NBC, stating that he
is pro choice

Neither true or false

he has flipped
flopped on abortion.
He recently said he is
pro-life

I am very pro-choice, I hate

the concept of abortion, I
hate it, I hate everything it
stands for, I cringe when I
listen people debating the
subject, but you still, I just
believe in choice.

Immigration

According to his quote, he

switched his stance to pro-life.
When he becomes president he
will appoint pro-life supreme
court justices, he knows that they
will repeal Roe vs. Wade. By
repealing this law he will allow
government to have say over
womens right to choose

When Mexico sends its

people, theyre not sending
their best. Theyre sending
people that have lots of
problems, and theyre
bringing those problems with
us. Theyre bringing drugs.
Theyre bringing crime.
Theyre rapists.

The Congressional Research

Service found that the vast
majority of unauthorized
immigrants do not fit in the
category that fits Trumps
description: aggravated felons,
whose crimes include murder, drug
trafficking or illegal trafficking of
firearms.

What can be simpler or

more accurately stated? The
Mexican Government is
forcing their most unwanted
people into the United States.
They are, in many cases,
criminals, drug dealers,
rapists, etc.

CRS also found that non-citizens

make up a smaller percentage of
the inmate population in state
prisons and jails, compared to their
percentage to the total U.S.
population.

False, because studies

and facts have proven
his statement wrong.

Paid Leave

Healthcare

Donald trump said I will

give moms 6 weeks of paid
leave

So, really, what Trump promised

on Tuesday night is a program with
minimal benefits that would have
to be paid for by the states. If you
happen to live in California, New
York, or states that might be willing
to raise their payroll taxes to pay
maternity leave through the
infrastructure of the
unemployment program, it might
not be a bad idea. But thats a far
cry from a genuine federal paid
maternity leave. Its also a
nonstarter in Republican-leaning
states (and woe to those mothers
invited to confront the
unemployment-insurance
bureaucracy). Vroman said that,
when presented with a plan to
extend unemployment to cover
family leave, under Bill Clinton, not
a single state legislature wanted to
sign on.

To reform healthcare in
America, we need a
President who has the
leadership skills, will and
courage to engage the
American people and
convince Congress to do
what is best for the
country. These
straightforward reforms,
along with many others I
have proposed throughout
my campaign, will ensure
that together we will Make
America Great Again.

He is going to do it
but it is not better
than the current. So
half true.

We as a nation would go
backward, said Ron
Pollack, executive
director of Families USA,
a nonprofit healthcare
consumer organization.
They [the Trump
campaign] have precious
little understanding of
how the healthcare
industry works.
It relies heavily on the
virtues of the free market
as well as the assumption
the economy will grow
robustly. It also counts on
illegal immigrants being
kept out of the country
and, consequently, out of
our healthcare system.

Trumps scenario will

not become what he
hopes. 12 million
people switching
does not go as
smoothly as he
thinks. As well as
hoping for all illegal
immigrants to be
gone for this change,
economy to rise
drastically, Also leave
people that rely on
subsidized plans out
of the picture as well.
So in reality obama
care is not the best
healthcare for
everyone, but it is

First, they said,

eliminating Obamacare
leaves 12 million people
who signed up under the
law looking for new
coverage. It could also
affect the 12 million
people who gained
coverage under the
expanded Medicaid rules
in 32 states

much better than how

trumps plan would
look like.

CNN on Trumps paid

leave proposal

Trump's proposal doesn't address

families where a man is the one who
plans to stay home with a new baby,
even though today, 40% of working
women are the breadwinners for their
households. Meanwhile, t wo out of
three dads say they want to have an
equal role in raising their children.
Clearly, a policy that leaves fathers
out makes it much harder for men to
achieve equality in parenting.

Vox on Trumps paid

leave plans and how he
will pay for them.

Trump aide says 6 weeks of

guaranteed paid maternity leave will
be paid for by eliminating fraud in
unemployment insurance.

http://www.vox.com/2016/9/
13/12901422/donald-trump-f
amily-leave

Theres about $3 billion in

unemployment fraud in the US every
year. Even if Trump could root it all
out, it would probably take at least
three times that much money to
afford a bare-bones paid family leave
program.
