stated on April 6, 2020 in a White House briefing:
The Obama administration left Trump with a “stockpile with a cupboard that was bare.”

Budget figures going back to 2009 show overall funding for the stockpile dropped to its lowest in 2013, to about $477 million. Allocations have grown steadily since then to a 2020 budget of $705 million.

“I really don’t know who gave (Dr. Anthony Fauci) the commendation.”

Trump’s White House website shows it was he who gave Fauci the recognition on his last day in office.

“During Biden’s first 30 months in office, just 2.1 million new jobs were created, and by contrast, during my first 30 months in office we created 4.9 million new jobs.”

Calculated in the conventional fashion, Trump is wrong, both on the numbers and on who oversaw more job gains. During Trump’s first 30 months, the number of nonfarm jobs rose by 5.2 million. But during Biden’s first 30 months, the number rose by a much larger 13.2 million.

Trump’s campaign told PolitiFact that Biden doesn’t deserve credit for some 11 million jobs gained during the post-pandemic bounceback.

But Trump’s method shifts all the employment damage from the pandemic to Biden while not acknowledging pandemic job losses under Trump.

Gas prices were "$1.86 when I left" the White House.

• The national average price for gasoline when Trump left the White House was $2.38, or about 28% higher than what he said it was.

"We proudly handed the Biden administration the most secure border in history. All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot.”

Trump ignores that the surge started in the spring of 2020 when he was still in office.

Says he requested “10,000 National Guardsmen” for his Jan. 6 rally, but Nancy Pelosi “rejected it.”

There is no evidence that Trump made a request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed for a rally he held that preceded the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

There is no evidence that Pelosi denied such a request.

stated on October 15, 2020 in several speeches:
Says North Carolina just landed an auto plant.

On at least three occasions, President Trump has suggested that a major auto plant or company is expanding in North Carolina.
No such plant has been identified by national auto groups, other fact checkers, or the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

“President Obama would never give them long-term funding, and I did … I saved historically Black colleges and universities.”

President Donald Trump’s signing of the FUTURE Act in 2019 made a significant allocation of federal funding for HBCUs permanent beyond 2019. It’s not clear how involved Trump was before the legislation hit his desk for a signature.

HBCUs received funding under the same program during President Barack Obama’s time in the White House. It’s a stretch to say Trump “saved” them.

Two experts calculated the total federal funding provided to HBCUs for PolitiFact. Those numbers show little change between the Obama years and the first year under Trump.

“We saved 2 million people” from dying of COVID-19.

President Donald Trump keeps saying his efforts to lock down the country and implement restrictions for those traveling from China saved 2 million lives.

The number is taken from a model that predicted how many people would die if no mitigation measures were put in place and people continued their lives normally. Experts said it is unlikely that Americans would have taken no steps to protect themselves.
