Former US President, Donald Trump has often been into the news over his false claims. The current toll of misleading or false claims made by him is 30,573 as of July 2021 according to the Washington Post. Here’s a list of the top 10 lies he said.
1. Michigan’s Man of the Year

How can a person be named Man of the Year without even living in the state? Well, that’s what Trump claimed on November 6, 2016, as his last-ditch to win Michigan elections.
“I’ve been fighting for the car industry for years. I was honored five years ago. Man of the Year in Michigan. That was a great honor for me,” he said at a rally in Michigan.
2. Windmill noise causes cancer
No science and technology expert has ever been able to support and prove this claim. Probably he created new facts for himself. He then shared stories and facts by anonymous and vague people to prove himself right but ended up humiliated.
3. Biden will destroy protections for pre-existing conditions
We know Trump’s re-election campaign was extremely dishonest. But a major lie he made was when he attempted to cast Joe Biden as a frightening radical and that he would destroy protections for people with pre-existing health conditions even though the Obama-Biden administration created the protections. It seems like a teenager trying to create misunderstandings between a happy couple.
4. Trump ended family separation
“You know, under President Obama you had separation. I was the one that ended it,” he told to NBC in 2019. It’s true that he ended this policy. But he didn’t tell that the play was announced by his own attorney general that had made family separation standard rather than occasional. Let’s not blame him, probably he forgot what was written in his own speech.
5. It didn’t rain on his inauguration
How can somebody lie about the weather at a public event and that too when we have such an advanced meteorological department? It rained during Trump’s inaugural address. Then, at a celebratory ball later that day, Trump told the crowd that the rain “just never came” until he finished talking and went inside, at which point “it poured.” according to CNN.
6. The coronavirus was under control
This would rather a life-threatening lie to all Americans. He mentioned that the Americans could continue their usual activities. But the facts were totally opposite and probably an honest action would have contained the spread and saved various deaths.
7. Alabama was at greater risk of hurricane
As we move, it’s getting more evident that Trump’s claims are like that of a nursery kid, without any factual check. He mentioned that Alabama was at risk of a hurricane and later to prove himself, he got entire weather maps and documents changed. Dumb, adamant, or egoistic, I leave upon your discretion.
8. The trade deficit with China used to be $500 billion
At least numerical facts could have studied well but nonetheless, it’s Trump after all. He said that the trade deficit with China used to be $500 billion even though the trade deficit never even reached $400 billion. It’s a matter of $100 billion, not $100!
9. Rep. Ilhan Omar supports al Qaeda
10. Support in African-American Community
Trump mentioned he had tremendous support in the African American community. But to everyone’s surprise, no poll has ever been able to verify that. Well if we continue the list, it might get published as a book with volumes.
