There were a host of false things that Donald Trump said during his hour-long news conference Thursday that have gotten attention.

A glaring example is his helicopter emergency landing story, which has not stood up to scrutiny.

But there was so much more. A team of NPR reporters and editors reviewed the transcript of his news conference and found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes. That’s more than two a minute. It’s a stunning number for anyone – and even more problematic for a person running to lead the free world.

See the entire list of fact checking below.

    I'm only on lie #15 and already half of MAGAtville's...ahem... "best" (😉) attacks on Harris/Walz have already been debunked.

    Yes - I meant to post on this and never got around to it...

    15. “We have a very, very sick country right now. You saw the other day with the stock market crashing. That was just the beginning. That was just the beginning.”

    The stock market did not “crash.” The stock market fell sharply at the end of last week as investors fretted about a softening job market. This was amplified on Monday when Japan’s stock market tumbled 12%, sparking a selloff around the world. Stocks in Japan and elsewhere have since regained much of this ground, however. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 683 points on the day of Trump’s news conference. — Scott Horsley


    Yes. It was basically a one day CORRECTION. Anyone who plays the market knows this happens generally after the market goes a little crazy (as when the market jumped way up a few days before the correction). That's people cashing out or channeling their stocks - things like that. It's one way to make money fast - also a good time for people looking to bail to go ahead and bail. I considered it myself on a couple stocks (I should have channeled my Apple stock to make a few extra bucks, but c'est le vie... it's just a number until you're ready to retire. 😌

    66. “White males, way up. White males have gone through the roof. White males, way up.”

    It’s just not the case that Trump is “way up.” NPR polling finds that while Trump is doing as well as ever with white men without college degrees, Harris – and Biden before her – is actually leading with white men with college degrees...


    The bold part explains OD.

    Trump is un-American to the core. Make no mistake - he was rooting for the stock market to crash, and now his campaign has crashed. Similarly, he killed the bipartisan border bill because continued commotion at the border helps him electorially, and now his campaign is in complete and utter commotion. And I'm enjoying every minute of it.

    Same here. How bad does it have to get before Trump pulls out? Let's find out!


    Trump knows brown...

    130. “Well, I know Willie Brown very well. In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing.”

    This claim has not held up to scrutiny. Politico reported that Trump did have to make an emergency landing in a helicopter with a Black California politician decades ago, but it wasn’t Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor and state assembly speaker. It was Nate Holden, a former Los Angeles city councilman and state senator.

    Trump:

    "154. “You know, with Hillary Clinton, I could have done things to her that would have made your head spin. I thought it was a very bad thing – take the wife of a president of the United States, and put her in jail. And then I see the way they treat me. That's the way it goes. But I was very protective of her. Nobody would understand that. But I was. I think my people understand it. They used to say, lock her up, lock her up. And I'd say, just relax, please.”
