Give me some examples of what trump lied about. And prove he lied with objective facts, not quotes from 'fact checkers' who only use fake news reports, or cherry-picked MSM 'experts', or someone else's opinions. Facts. Like I gave you in the other thread.
Here's what the CNN Fact Checker had to say about Trump

I''m not going to go through 30 Trump lies, but I got a couple that were very easy to refute, as the CNN reporter did. As far as Trump's claim he deployed the Minnesota National Guard, here's what the Military Times, not a left wing outfit had to say in August 2020:
The governor of Minnesota activated the National Guard on Wednesday night to help quell unrest that broke out in downtown Minneapolis following what authorities said was misinformation about the suicide death of a Black homicide suspect. “We once again see the unrest on our streets. And not just Minnesota but as a nation, this pain continues on,” Gov. Tim Walz said at a late night news conference. Walz declared a peacetime emergency in Minneapolis and said he was mobilizing the Minnesota National Guard but did not say how many troops were being deployed.

And here's the claim that food prices have quadrupled under Biden. From the USDA:
From 2019 to 2023, the all-food Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 25.0 percent—a higher increase than the all-items CPI, which grew 19.2 percent over the same period. Food price increases in 2020–21 were largely driven by shifting consumption patterns and supply chain disruptions resulting from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2022, food prices increased faster than any year since 1979, partly due to a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak that affected egg and poultry prices and the conflict in Ukraine which compounded other economy-wide inflationary pressures such as high energy costs. Food price growth slowed in 2023 as wholesale food prices and these other inflationary factors eased from 2022.

Still high, although the study indicates some external factors like the avian flu, but nowhere near quadrupling. And those figures include 2019 and 2020 under Trump.
I don't have time to do a line by line check of every Trump lie, but the first two I picked I was able to prove their falsehood in less than a minute of google research.
