00:00Trump Can't Stop Lying in Cabinet Meeting

00:03President Donald Trump's final cabinet meeting of the year was dominated by a barrage of falsehoods,

00:09with CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale cataloging 13 inaccurate claims that spanned the economy,

00:15foreign policy, and domestic issues.

00:18Among the most striking claims was Trump's assertion that his administration had secured

00:22more than $18 trillion in investment commitments.

00:26Dale noted that this figure was fictional, nearly double the $9.6 trillion figure cited

00:31on the White House's own website, which itself had been criticized as inflated.

00:36Inflation and Economic Claims

00:38Trump declared that he had stopped inflation in its tracks since January.

00:44Dale countered that the year-over-year inflation rate in September was 3.0%,

00:48identical to January's rate, and slightly higher when measured to more decimal places.

00:53Foreign Affairs and Security

00:55Trump told the cabinet that Biden gave away $350 billion in aid to Ukraine.

01:02Independent trackers put the figure closer to $133 billion allocated to Ukraine.
