Donald Trump: "When President Obama landed in Cuba on Air Force One, no leader was there, nobody, to greet him -- perhaps an incident without precedent in the long and prestigious history of Air Force One."

The Truth-o-Meter says: Half-True | Donald Trump says Raul Castro snubbed Barack Obama at airport, and that it's 'without precedent' Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said President Barack Obama had been disrespected during his recent trip to Cuba -- the first visit by a sitting president since 1928, as well as a landmark step in the evolving relationship between bitter Cold War enemies. "Our rivals no longer respect us," Trump said during a major foreign policy speech on April 27, 2016. "In fact, they're just as confused as our allies, but in an even bigger problem is they don't take us seriously anymore. The truth is they don't respect us. When President Obama landed in Cuba on Air Force One, ... >> More

Donald Trump: "ISIS is making millions of dollars a week selling Libyan oil."

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | No, Donald Trump, ISIS is not 'making millions of dollars a week' selling Libyan oil Libya's violence and political instability has vexed the United States and other major powers since long-serving ruler Col. Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown by NATO-backed forces in 2011. Security experts say the turmoil has allowed ISIS to gain a foothold in the North African country, allowing the jihadists a haven from which to train and plan attacks abroad. And while ISIS is blamed for attacking Libya's oil fields in recent months, experts strongly disagree with a claim GOP frontrunner Donald Trump repeated on April 27 during his foreign policy speech in Washington. "And now ISIS is making ... >> More

Donald Trump: "I was totally against the war in Iraq, saying for many years that it would destabilize the Middle East."

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Donald Trump did not warn the Iraq War would 'destabilize the Middle East' before it started When Donald Trump laid out the fundamentals of his foreign policy at a Washington hotel conference room, he offered his go-to proof of sound judgment. "I was totally against the war in Iraq, saying for many years that it would destabilize the Middle East," he said April 27, 2016. Not in any way we could find. Let's review the record of what Trump said when about the Iraq War. The war began in March 2003. We searched the Nexis database of transcripts and news reports from 2002 to 2008. From what we found, if Trump saw regional destabilization on the ... >> More

Donald Trump: "Pennsylvania has lost 35 percent of its manufacturing jobs since 2001" and "Harrisburg has lost 40 percent of its manufacturing jobs since 2001."

The Truth-o-Meter says: Mostly True | Donald Trump and the number of manufacturing jobs Pennsylvania has lost Donald Trump focused a campaign rally in Harrisburg Thursday on bringing back manufacturing jobs to a state that's lost more than many others in the past decade. The presidential frontrunner bolstered his point by telling thousands of supporters at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex: "Pennsylvania has lost 35 percent of its manufacturing jobs since 2001" and later added that Harrisburg, the state capital, "has lost 40 percent of its manufacturing jobs since 2001." That seemed like a large percentage of jobs lost. So we decided to check the claim. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Pennsylvania lost nearly 300,000 ... >> More

Donald Trump: "Ted Cruz is mathematically out of winning the race."

The Truth-o-Meter says: Mostly True | Trump says Cruz has been 'mathematically' eliminated from winning the nomination on 1st ballot Donald Trump said his landslide win in New York destroyed Ted Cruz's chances of getting the GOP nomination through the primary process. With 60.5 percent of the votes in the Empire State, the Republican frontrunner is projected to nab 89 delegates, while Cruz picked up none. (Ohio Gov. John Kasich got three.) This means that it is impossible for Cruz to secure the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination on the first ballot, according to Trump. "Ted Cruz is mathematically out of winning the race," he tweeted April 20. "Now all he can do is be a spoiler, never ... >> More

Donald Trump: Says professional football coach Rex Ryan "won championships in New York. The AFC, I think, twice."

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Donald Trump praises Rex Ryan's imaginary AFC championships Sometimes politicians make our jobs too easy. This is one of those times. At a rally in New York ahead of that state's primary, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump was introduced by Buffalo Bills football coach Rex Ryan. "There's so many things I admire about Mr. Trump, but one thing I really admire about him is, you know what, he'll say what's on his mind," Ryan told the crowd. "But so many times, you'll see people, a lot of people want to say the same thing. But there's a big difference. They don't have the courage to say it. They all ... >> More

Donald Trump: The Colorado caucus system for selecting Republican delegates is "rigged."

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Trump calls Colorado caucus system 'rigged,' but there's no proof rules favor anyone After Ted Cruz completed his sweep of all 34 delegates at the Colorado Republican convention, Donald Trump branded the state GOP's caucus system "rigged" and "crooked." Trump told Fox & Friends that rank-and-file Colorado Republicans are "going absolutely crazy because they weren't given a vote, this was given by politicians. It's a crooked deal. ... It's a rigged system." Trump implied that he didn't bother speaking to the Colorado convention because state "politicians" controlled the process and there's "no voting." Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth asked Trump, "Isn't it just fair to say, These are the rules, Ted ... >> More

Donald Trump: Says Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio "had it set so that the winner takes everything, because they wanted to make sure that I didn't get anything" in the Florida primary.

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Donald Trump wrongly says Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush had Florida's winner-take-all primary set Donald Trump has been on a tear accusing the Republican establishment of rigging the system to hurt him, despite the fact that he leads the delegate count in the primaries. One of the states where leaders are out to get him is Florida, he says. The state's March 15 primary was "winner-take-all," which means all of the delegates went to one winner, who ended up being Trump. "You speak about what's unfair, so in Florida you had 99 delegates," he said in a speech in Rome, N.Y. "And Jeb Bush had it set -- Jeb Bush or Rubio, ... >> More

Donald Trump: "My numbers are better right now than Ronald Reagan's numbers were with Jimmy Carter."

The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Donald Trump wrong about 1980 Ronald Reagan race against Jimmy Carter During a rally in Rome, N.Y., Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump cast himself as the inheritor of the mantle of Ronald Reagan -- at least in the way Reagan came from behind to win the 1980 presidential election. "I haven't even started on Hillary, and my numbers are better right now than Ronald Reagan's numbers were with Jimmy Carter," Trump said, at about the 17:50 mark. "Ronald Reagan had a 30 (percent) favorability and he was behind Jimmy Carter by so much everybody said, 'Oh, this is going to be a disaster.' " Does Trump have a solid historical ... >> More

Donald Trump: On banning assault weapons.

The Truth-o-Meter says: Full Flop | Donald Trump fully flip-flops, lately opposes ban on assault weapons Before finishing second to Texan Ted Cruz in Wisconsin's April 2016 Republican presidential primary, Donald Trump of New York retweeted a supporter's message stating: "Challenge to all WI gun owners. Vote @realDonaldTrump.The only candidate that will protect your rights!" That was an opinion; we can't check it. But the declaration didn't impress Josh Perry, an aide to Sen. Cruz, who responded the day after the primary with tweets characterizing Trump as a flip-flopper on restricting assault weapons. Cue the Flip-O-Meter. Has Trump flip-flopped on banning assault weapons? "Remember when you advocated for stripping away my #2A rights?" ... >> More

Donald Trump: Mexico receives "approximately $24 billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United States. The majority of that amount comes from illegal aliens."

The Truth-o-Meter says: Half-True | Donald Trump claims most wire transfers to Mexico are from undocumented immigrants Donald Trump's new plan to get Mexico to pay for a wall along the Southern border is drawing comments from all sides. Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said if the plan works, it's "fantastic." President Barack Obama, on the other hand, called it "half-baked." The plan, released on April 5, 2016, reads as a series of hypotheticals. Trump claims barring undocumented immigrants from sending wire transfers would entice Mexico to pay for the wall. "They (Mexico) receive approximately $24 billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United States. The majority of that amount ... >> More

Donald Trump: China is "in the South China Sea and (building) a military fortress the likes of which perhaps the world has not seen."

The Truth-o-Meter says: Half-True | Donald Trump weighs in on China's island-building in the South China Sea Donald Trump warned of China's military might in a recent interview with the New York Times. "We have rebuilt China, and yet they will go in the South China Sea and build a military fortress the likes of which perhaps the world has not seen," Trump said. "Amazing, actually. They do that, and they do that at will because they have no respect for our president and they have no respect for our country."

The Truth-o-Meter says: Pants on Fire! | Donald Trump's Pants on Fire claim the U.S. funds undocumented immigrants coming over the border Donald Trump bemoaned the $19 trillion national debt before launching into an attack on an expansive federal budget bill during a rally in Fountain Hills, Ariz. Referring to a spending bill known as the "omnibus," Trump said March 19. "It funds Obamacare, it funds Syrians coming into the United States, we have no idea who they are, it funds illegal immigrants coming in and through your border, right through Phoenix."
