Fact check: Biden's horrific debate performance made worse by multiple lies and gaffes (nypost.com) "Critics of former President Donald Trump are always quick to challenge the veracity of the Republican’s statements but President Biden was guilty of multiple whoppers during Thursday night’s presidential debate — when he was coherent.
"Here were the commander in chief’s biggest fibs and gaffes:" . . .
Truth: At least 16 troops have died in overseas attacks over his tenure, including, infamously, the 13 soldiers killed in an ISIS-K attack during the botched August 2021 US evacuation from Afghanistan.

| Biden claimed that no American troops have died during his administration. |
Trump’s unemployment rate
What Biden said: “[The] unemployment rate rose to 15% [under Trump]; it was terrible.”
Fact: The unemployment rate was 6.4% when Trump left the White House in 2021. Unemployment rose from 4.4% in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic to 14.8% in April 2020. The unprecedented global outbreak wreaked economic havoc worldwide.
Border crossings
What Biden said: “I’ve changed in a way that now you’re in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally. That’s better than when [Trump] left office.”
Truth: He’s confusing data. The daily average of migrant apprehensions dropped more than 40% — to nearly 2,400 — since Biden issued an executive action that went into effect a month ago prohibiting asylum at the southern border.
