事实核查:特朗普在筹款上误导
特朗普的主张:“乔,您筹集了很多钱,数量巨大,而且每次筹款时,交易都会达成,乔。 作为总统和认识大多数人的人,我可以筹集更多的资金。 我可以叫华尔街的负责人,美国每家公司的负责人。 我会浪费掉所有记录,但我不想这样做,因为这会使我处于不利地位。”
事实核对:特朗普针对拜登为竞选活动筹集资金的目标,声称他可以筹集更多资金,但将处于“不利地位”,因为他会欠捐助者一些回报。
然而,特朗普本人定期举行私人,高额美元筹款活动,筹集数百万美元资金,迄今为止,在本次选举周期中已筹集了超过15亿美元。
就在一周前,总统在妮可和企业家帕尔默·卢基(Palmer Luckey)的家中参加了一次闭门募捐活动,门票价格从每人2800美元到10万美元不等。
Fact check: Trump misleads on fundraising
TRUMP'S CLAIM: “Joe, you have raised a lot of money, tremendous amounts of money and every time you raise money, deals are made, Joe. I could raise so much more money as president and as somebody that knows most of those people. I could call the heads of Wall Street, the heads of every company in America. I would blow away every record, but I don't want to do that because it puts me in a bad position.”
FACT CHECK: Trump targeted Biden for raising money for his campaign by claiming he could raise more but would be put in a “bad position” because he would owe donors something in return.
However, Trump himself regularly holds private, high-dollar fundraisers raking in millions of dollars and has raised over $1.5 billion so far this election cycle.
Just a week ago, the president attended a closed-door fundraiser at the home of Nicole and Palmer Luckey, an entrepreneur -- where tickets ranged from $2,800 up to $100,000 per person.
