AP FACT CHECK: Trump's fabrications on autos, health care

WASHINGTON — Rallying in Michigan, President Donald Trump bragged Thursday night about a surging auto industry that isn't surging, a Republican rescue for health care that has yet to take shape, a "total" exoneration in the Russia investigation that was not offered.

And Trump, as he routinely does, took credit for a veterans health care initiative that his predecessor achieved and ignored the reality when veterans seek treatment — waiting times that still last for weeks.

Here's a look at rhetoric from his Grand Rapids rally, as well as his remarks leading up to it:

2016 ELECTION

TRUMP, on electoral votes: "We won 306 to 223." — rally.

THE FACTS: No. He won 304 to Hillary Clinton's 227, according to an Associated Press tally of the electoral votes in every state. He routinely misstates the result.
___
TRUMP: "We did really well with women." — rally.

THE FACTS: Not that well. He actually lost the women's vote.

He lies with impunity and gets away with it because the idiots listening to him never question the verity of what he is saying. It makes me sick that he can just make shit up and pass it off as the truth.
