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.
01:08Domestic Policy and Public Safety
01:10He also repeated his false assertion that the 2020 election was a fake election,
