Claimant: Donald Trump (R)


Claim: “Democrats want $1.5 trillion for health care for illegal aliens.”


Rating: BLATANT LIE


Explanation: The $1.5 trillion figure refers to the full cost of a ten-year Democratic spending package, not funds allocated to undocumented immigrants. Most of the funding expands Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid for legally present residents, not undocumented individuals.
