Fact-checking President Trump’s latest tweetstorm
By Salvador Rizzo and Salvador Rizzo Reporter for The Fact Checker Email Bio Follow Glenn Kessler Glenn Kessler The Fact Checker Email Bio Follow April 3 at 3:00 AM President Trump’s Twitter feed is like a fact-checking buffet sometimes, with all different kinds of false or misleading claims from which to choose.Over the past two days, Trump tweeted a slew of suspect claims on immigration, Obamacare, the census, disaster relief for Puerto Rico and the Russia investigation.
With phrases such as “only take from the USA” and “our farmers,” Trump appears to suggest Puerto Ricans are not full U.S. citizens. They are citizens, though they generally do not pay federal income tax unless they work for the federal government; they pay other federal taxes, such as Social Security and Medicare.
"After many years , Mexico is apprehending large numbers of people at their Southern Border, mostly from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. They have ALL been taking U.S. money for years, and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for us, just like the Democrats in Congress!” El Salvador, meanwhile, has been praised by top U.S. immigration officials for effective use of aid money.
Democrats would firmly disagree that the Affordable Care Act does not work, given that the number of people without health insurance has sharply declined since it was passed in 2010. Some Democrats have proposed ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs, mainly by bolstering subsidies and extending the pool of people who would qualify for them.
The Trump administration wants to add a question to the 2020 Census asking whether respondents are U.S. citizens. Trump claims the census would be “meaningless” without this “all-important question.” But numerous experts — including those in the Census Bureau — say that adding a citizenship question would depress response rates by intimidating immigrants fearing potential deportation.
But it was later revealed in court proceedings that Ross was behind the question all along and pressured the Justice Department to make a formal request.
