FACT CHECK: Various Stuff

Peter Navarro is a senior counselor to Donald Trump who's out there claiming that Trump's tariffs will generate six trillion dollars over a decade. That's six trillion with a "tr." With all the reversals and postponements and changes, I don't know how anyone could estimate such a thing but Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post says Navarro's number is ridiculous. FactCheck.org agrees with Kessler.

Meanwhile, JD Vance says that 40% of calls to Social Security involve fraud. Glenn Kessler says that number is absurd also.

The Associated Press says Trump is lying about coal and Politifact says he's (again!) lying about winning the 2020 election.
