WASHINGTON—Donald Trump did two Fox News interviews and spoke at a rally in Fort Myers, Fla., on Monday. The Republican presidential nominee said at least 11 false things:

Falsely claimed the U.S. is taking back Daesh fighters who want to return home even though “we know” they have fought for Daesh, also known as ISIS and ISIL.

Falsely claimed his polls show “the highest levels of enthusiasm that they’ve seen.” (Trump’s “very enthusiastic” percentage was 45 per cent in the latest CNN poll; 46 per cent of Romney supporters were “very enthusiastic” in Oct. 2012.)

Falsely said, “I was against getting into the war in Iraq.”

Falsely said, “All together, her plan would bring in 620,000 refugees in her first term ...” (Clinton has not actually proposed the 620,000 number, which was implausibly calculated by Trump ally Jeff Sessions.)

Falsely said, “…with no effective way to screen them or vet them. Law enforcement said, ‘There’s no way.’” (While authorities have discussed shortcomings in refugee screening, nobody has said “there’s no way.”)

Falsely claimed Obama went on an “apology tour” during which he “apologized for the United States: ‘We’re sorry, we’re so sorry, we are so sorry.’” (While Obama discussed U.S. failings, he never uttered an apology for the United States.)

Falsely claimed that Al Wilson wrote the song “The Snake” in the 1990s. (Wilson recorded it in the 1960s; it was written by Oscar Brown Jr. earlier in the 1960s.)

Falsely said, “I am going to massively lower your taxes. That’s businesses, and that’s middle-income, that’s everybody.” (Trump has no massive middle-income tax cut. According to the conservative Tax Foundation, people below the top 1 per cent of earners would get only a 2 per cent income boost before accounting for hypothetical economic growth, while the superrich would get more than 10 per cent.)

Falsely suggested America “allow(s)” jihadi magazines to be “sold” domestically

Falsely suggested Hillary Clinton has never criticized people who “oppose and murder women and gays overseas.”

Falsely called NBC anchor Lester Holt, the moderator of the first debate, “a Democrat.” (He has been a registered Republican since 2003, Time magazine reports)

Said with no evidence that “local police” know “who a lot of these people (terrorists) are” but do not investigate because they “don’t want to be accused of profiling.”

Said with no evidence that refugees are “plotting” attacks together.

This article has been updated to reflect that Donald Trump falsely called NBC anchor Lester Holt “a Democrat” on Monday. Holt is a registered Republican, Time magazine reports.
