Lies and distractions are hallmarks of Trump’s debate performance

Donald Trump spouts nonsense about hordes of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and telling outright lies.

The Republican presidential nominee charged that under Biden , the country is a “ third world nation’s third world nation.

Trump also flatly denied he called neo- Nazis who paraded through Charlottesville , Va. , during his first year in the White House .

Trump laid out fables, or conveniently didn’t mention key facts, on everything from the Afghanistan troop withdrawal to economics at the end of his term three years ago , compared to now.

Trump bragged about appointing the three U.S. Supreme Court justices who were the key votes in the court’s 5 -4 ruling two years ago stripping away the federal constitutional right to an abortion.

Neither candidate mentioned several key issues: the yawning chasm between rich and the rest of us.

Biden : Raising taxes on only the top 1% of taxpayers “will keep it solvent,” he said.

“He wants to cut Social Security and Medicare as well.” Trump has floated that idea on the campaign trail.

Biden boasted about cutting the cost of insulin and vowed to cut the costs of other prescription drugs.

Trump was silent on that.
