A bogus claim every 12 seconds, on average. That’s what a single five-minute
clip of former president Donald Trump speaking in Iowa on Dec. 5 yielded. In the
clip, from a Fox News “town hall” hosted by Sean Hannity and brought to our
attention by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), Trump
ludicrously asserts that American oil and natural gas resources — “liquid gold”
in the ground — could solve Social Security’s looming fiscal imbalance. That
claim comes toward the end of the clip; to get there, a listener must first hear
falsehood after falsehood in rapid succession.
