President Trump touted a newly resurgent America in his big speech at the World Economic Forun in Davos, Switzerland, making a series of bold claims in an address that echoed some of his talking points on the 2020 campaign trail.

Many of those assertions, though, didn’t match economic reality or were wildly misleading.

Trump said that the American economy was in “a dismal state” when he inherited it in 2017 and that US wealth inequality was tossed into the dustbin of history. He also asserted that he “saved” historically black colleges and universities and the US economy now is “the greatest” in US history.

Finally, he contended that the two trade deals he signed were “the biggest ever made.”
