After he was booed during the Detroit Lions-Washington Commanders game on Sunday, Donald Trump gave a brief interview on Fox to address the status of the nation.
“We’re doing great,” Trump said. “People have spirit, our stock market hit an all-time high. Prices are coming down. We inherited a mess, prices are coming way down. And I’ll tell you, our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it, which is a record. So I’ll tell you, we’re doing great.”
One journalist called the situation “shameful,” criticizing Fox for allowing Trump to “peddle his absurd lies.”
The facts are at odds with Trump’s comments.
As for the $17 trillion in investments, a CNN Fact Check says it’s more like $8.8 trillion and that even that number “a big exaggeration.”
