Fact check: President Trump offers two dangerous falsehoods in a largely straightforward coronavirus briefing

Washington Over the past few weeks, President Donald Trump's coronavirus briefings have become a daily occurrence at the White House. They've also become regular venues for falsehoods, misleading information, revisionist history and outright lies.

By CNN's rough estimate, over the past three weeks Trump has made at least 50 false or misleading claims at these briefings, which in many ways have become a substitute for the political rallies he can no longer hold due to the coronavirus outbreak. That's what made Wednesday night's briefing so noteworthy. By our preliminary count, Trump made just two false claims. This isn't to minimize those falsehoods.

Why am I not surprised at this!! Main reason why I don't trust him. He's never really told the truth!!

No, no, no. realDonaldTrump lied. Please stop writing 'falsehoods' -- call them what they are: lies. He is deliberately lying in his briefings (and otherwise); by using falsehoods you make it sound like his statements are mistakes. TrumpPressConf TrumpPressConference

CNN has been offering falsehood since it Network turned into a full blown liberal hack propaganda.

Lies it's called lies

It is possible and likely there was fraud in the voter roles. Maybe that is why Judicial Watch sued to begin with.

Now do China

Not sure why we even put these conferences on TV we need to hear from the Doctors not some rambling old orange fool we need facts not someone who thinks everything is about him But then takes zero responsibility for his words and actions

Why has Dr Anthony Fauci sold himself to the devil Trump? Lives of the American is far more inmportend than stand behind the president when you know he is lying. Dr Fauci. Please stand up . Be your own speaker and far most...be the dr they all need.

Not to worry. He's not challenging your dominance is falsehoods.

Says the media arm of criminal Democrats.

There's no need to conduct fact checks on what Trump says. All his claims are nearly false. I wonder whether it's still true that the thousands of deaths are still linked to preexisting medical conditions?

CNN is funny, no one believes them anymore and they keep trying

“At CNN, we start with the facts”, should have been the first thing you fact checked.

is a falsehood

Call them lies..he's a liar

So Trump 'lied'

Ballot harvesting in California is a fact. California changed its rules before the 2018 midterm elections to allow persons other than family members to collect and submit ballots.

The fact that Trump utters even ONE 'falsehood', aka LIE, means YOU SHOULD NOT BE BROADCASTING THESE BRIEFINGS ON LIVE TV! Record it and present an edited version immediately after that contains only truth. He thinks you're fake anyway. What do you have to lose?

Fact check: Trump again overstates U.S. testing capabilityFact check: President Trump said that “America continues to perform more tests than any other nation in the world, and I think that’s probably why we have more cases.” The U.S. is doing a lot of tests, but per capita they are not doing the most. When did he say per capita? Never. What he said is true. Straw man. Fact Check: NBC is still fake news. The numbers aren't even close

Fact Check: Is Mail Ballot Fraud As Rampant As President Trump Says It Is?President Trump has argued that mail-in ballots are frequently fraudulent. While there is slightly more fraud in mail-voting than in-person voting, experts say, both can be done safely and securely. In all instances, election fraud is extremely rare. Not to mention the last bit of fraud was in North Carolina...by the Republican candidate's staff. More propaganda for his trumpers to believe if he loses. TRUMP votes by mail. He's a liar and a hypocrite. Plus he's stealing PPE.
