Introduction
How often have you heard the Biden administration proclaim the southern border to be under control? How many times have you felt the sting of rising inflation eroding your hard-earned savings? And have you ever wondered how a woman who claims to be a community college schoolteacher can suddenly be worth $85 million in anonymous gifts and donations, making $15 million a year?
These questions highlight the persistent issue of misinformation and lies in politics. The false narratives surrounding the Biden administration and the actions of former President Donald Trump have created a storm of distrust and confusion.
H1: The Persistent Myth of the Controlled Southern Border
For years, the Biden administration has consistently reassured the nation that the southern border is under control. However, the reality is far from reassuring.
Between July 21, 2021, and now, many have died as a result of being blindly led into believing that the coronavirus vaccine was 100% safe. This was a lie, one that had dire consequences. The rush to roll out the vaccine before it was fully tested and approved, reportedly under the pressure and misinformation spread by the Trump administration, led to countless deaths.

Many have argued that misinformation and lies have been rampant, especially during the Trump administration. The MSM (mainstream media) scrutinized everything Trump said, never allowing for any imperfections to be overlooked. Conversely, the Biden administration has allowed for more leniency in scrutinizing statements.
H1: The Volume and Frequency of Lies in Politics
Lying in politics is unfortunately a common occurrence. However, the sheer volume, frequency, and venom with which former President Trump lied set a benchmark that has yet to be matched. President Biden, on the other hand, has proven to be a credible leader, even when faced with critics.
Let’s break down the numbers:
According to various fact-checking organizations and studies, former President Trump made over 30,000 false claims in a span of just four years. This unprecedented record of misinformation has left a deep mark on public trust and political discourse.
H1: The Credibility of the Biden Administration
The fact-checkers employed by various organizations are constantly monitoring and evaluating the statements made by our current president. If you search for "fact check Biden" online, countless articles and videos will appear detailing the accurate statements and corrections necessary for his claims.
It is crucial to understand that while all politicians are prone to lying, the rate and scale of lies under the Trump administration were unprecedented. For example, the President could not profitably run a company he inherited with no debt and a billion in cash, yet many believed he could run the largest economy in the world. This lack of credibility, combined with an absence of experience or knowledge in global politics and economics, raises serious questions about his preparedness for the presidency.
Conclusion
It is essential for citizens to fact-check the information they receive and to be aware of the sources they rely on. The reliance on social media and right-wing media can lead to the spread of misinformation and the perpetuation of false narratives. One day, these truths will be acknowledged by all.
