Biden and Trump's statements on troop deaths, national debt, and economic policies scrutinized

  • Biden falsely claimed no U.S. troops died during his presidency; multiple incidents were documented.
  • Trump's term saw a significant increase in national debt, driven by pandemic spending and tax cuts.
  • Biden inaccurately stated that he inherited 15% unemployment; the rate was 6.4% when he took office.
  • Claims about reduced prescription drug costs under Biden's policies were found to be misleading.
  • Border Patrol encounters have decreased, but experts question the long-term impact of recent measures.
