  • Fact check: Five false claims Trump made in one meeting with Erdogan | CNN Politics

    Trump also repeated his frequent false claim that “we have $19 trillion, $19.2 trillion to be exact, being invested in the United States.” This time, he added that this supposed total was from only the first 12 months of this presidential term, “so that number is now substantially higher” after nearly 18 months back in office. But even the $19.2 trillion figure is fiction. At the time Trump made the claim on Tuesday, the White House’s own website claimed there had been “$10.6 trillion” in “major investment announcements” this term, and even that was a major exaggeration of actual investment.
