This video has gotten a lot of attention, and it makes a lot of claims about Trump. Even though a lot of what is said supports my views against him, I still want to make sure I'm not leaning on "facts" just cause some voice parroted them on the internet.
I plan to do my investigations here and link to my sources. I invite anyone else to make a thread of their own if they wish to do the same for similar content across the internet.
Here is the list of accusations and claims:
Character
- His character is "absolutely abysmal" (00:36).
- He is an "adjudicated rapist" (00:39), with a civil court determining he was guilty of sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll in 2023 (00:40).
- He is a "34-count felon" (00:43), found guilty of 34 felonies for sending hush money to a porn star he cheated on his wife with before the 2016 election and misclassifying the payments as business expenses (00:45).
- He is "pretty racist" (00:58).
- He is "incredibly misogynistic" (01:17).

- He is a "chronic liar," telling over 30,000 lies in his first term (02:21).

- He is an "egotistical power maniac" who doesn't care about checks and balances (02:48).
Domestic Policy
- His domestic policy is "just absolutely atrocious" (03:29).
- Economic Policy (03:32):
