President Donald Trump delivers simply a message to the voters: he will save them from democratic policies that have hindered his portfolios, safety and freedom.
Here's what he misses: Sometimes he promotes the same policies.
Here, six times, Trump or his speaker has called on the Democrats for policies that Trump himself supported during his first Presidency.
Encouraging the diversity of hiring in the federal aviation administration
Hours after a helicopter of the United States Army and a passenger plane of American Airlines encountered January 29 Over the Potomak River, killing 67 people, Trump has accused the policies of hiring predecessors, including hiring people with disabilities. But during Trump's first term, the same program existed for hiring people with disabilities.
What Trump said: “I changed Obama's policy (when hiring air traffic controllers) … And then Biden came in and he changed it.” (We appreciated this false.)
What did Obama and Biden do: An executive order from the Obama era, issued in 2010, directed federal agencies to hire more disabled people. The FAA included the policy in its diversity hiring program.
In 2014, the Obama administration began an assessment of hiring air traffic controllers, which weighed biographical information as experience in work and education, but not race. In 2018, Trump discarded the use of biographical assessment; Biden did not restore it.
What Trump did: FAA in 2019 announced a program aimed at hiring 20 disabled people, including the same purposeful disability list that Trump has recently abused to be air traffic controllers. On April 11, 2019, the press release, the agency said that the main focus was “to identify specific opportunities for people with purposeful disabilities, to empower them and to facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.”
The Agency is constantly emphasizing its hiring initiatives, including their goals to hire people with disabilities since 2013, until Trump joins the office in 2025, including Throughout Trump's first termS
On January 21, Trump signed Enforcement order This eliminates diversity, justice and inclusion, or DEI, hiring and directing the Secretary of Transport and Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to “return to non -discriminatory, renting merit.”
Teltock
Trump criticizes Biden's position, who called for a ban on Ticktock in 2024, but Trump tried to ban the popular video application during his first -termS (We said that the change in Trump's position corresponds to our definition of full flop.)
What Trump said: “We love Ticktock. I'll save Tiktok. Biden wants to get rid of the Ticktock. “
What did Biden do: Biden signed a bilateral legislation In April, this will eventually ban Tiktok unless it is sold to an American company.
What Trump did: On August 6, 2020, Trump signed an enforcement order 13942, which seeks to ban the Tictoc, saying that “the United States must take aggressive action against the Ticktock owners to protect our national security.” To January 20, 2024, Trump has issued an enforcement order to suspend Tiktok's ban in 75 days.
Killing chickens
White House Secretary Carolyn Levitt Blame Biden for high egg prices That she said she came from the mass murder of his administration chickens.
What Levitt said: The Biden Administration and the US Department of Agriculture “directed the mass murder of over 100 million chickens, which led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore lack of egg supply, leading to shortage.” (We have appreciated this half true.)
What did Biden do: The chickens are cut to stop the spread of bird flu and protect nearby farms, poultry and public health. The 2002 Federal Law, the Animal Health Act, gives USDA powers to depopulate herds and herds to stop the spread of the disease.
USDA data show that 108 million eggs laying eggs have died since 2022, including 13 million in 2025. It is unclear how euthanized or died of the virus.
What Trump did: The USDA influenza response plan, updated in May 2017, has included guidelines for policy based on firing of the influenza of birds during the Obama administration. It says: “The rapid depopulation of infected poultry is crucial to stopping the virus transmission and should be a priority.” During the Bird Flu epidemic in March 2017, a USDA report said that “nearly 253,000 birds were depopulated.”
Taking money for Federal Emergency Management Agency for migrants
While examining the hurricanes in Georgia in October 2024, Trump said the Biden-Haris administration diverted FEMA money for immigration, leaving the disaster agency.
What Trump said: “$ 1 billion was stolen by FEMA to use it for illegal migrants. … And FEMA is already broken. They have no money. ” (We appreciated this false.)
What did Biden do: Congress provided money to FEMA for the shelter and services programwho gave money to state and local authorities and non -profit organizations that provide migrants Temporary refuge, food and transportationS However, this is separate from the FEMA disaster help fund used after hurricanes.
What Trump did: In 2019, the Ministry of Interior Security said It was the “reprogramming” of some funds that Congress canceled. The department said it would transfer $ 155 million from FEMA's disaster help Fund to immigration efforts.
Prison Bureau providing transsexual care
Trump has attacked former Vice President and Democratic President Candidate Kamala Harris for transsexual care for people in prison. In 2019, Harris said he supported the permission of gender for the affirmation of gender for people in federal prisons, and in 2024 stated that he would “follow the law”. But such a policy existed during Trump's first term, in accordance with the federal law.
What Trump said: Harris “supports taxpayers funded by prisoners and illegal aliens.” (We have appreciated this most true.)
What did Biden and Harris do: The Bureau of Prison Policy during the Biden Administration left people in prison to seek surgery confirming Paul. We have found that since September 2024, only two people in the federal prisons have successfully received these procedures.
What Trump did: The first Trump administration also acknowledged federal legal obligations to provide an improvement of gender for prisoners. The New York Times highlighted the 2018 Ministry of Justice Budget note, which noted the “legal mandate for providing basic medical and mental care to people in prison and noted that” transgender offenders may require … Operation “as part of Medical treatment. The Bureau of Prisons during the first term of Trump issued a guide to transgender criminals, which refers to “hormone or other medical treatment”, but does not specifically mention the surgery.
Temporary FEMA dwelling for victims of hurricane in North Carolina
Trump has accused Biden of expulsing survivors of hurricanes in North Carolina by hotels. But FEMA had similar eligibility requirements that affected the temporary home during the first Trump administration.
What Trump said: “The Biden administration drove 2000 displaced northern Carolini from its temporary home in freezing at 20 degrees in January. (We have appreciated this most false.)
What did Biden do: FEMA under Biden provided a hotel or northern Carolini Motel, which need a temporary home after hurricane Helen. FEMA inspects the admissibility of participants every two weeks. Households are no longer eligible if they miss inspections, their homes are habitable or they check from hotels. The weekend on January 18, 740 families, it was said that they had to leave the rooms because they were no longer eligible. They received a three -week notice to find shelter.
What Trump did: The first Trump administration also had criteria for admissibility for staying in the temporary home. On February 16, 2018, a message about FEMA news about the victims of the hurricanes in Texas said that “review of the criteria” would determine who was no longer qualified.
“Every shelter option is a temporary, short -term design designed to be a bridge to the average and long -term solutions,” said Brock Long, then FEMA administrator, March 2018, Home Security Committee, House House, House Homeland Security Security Hearing.
