    Default AP FACT CHECK: Trump’s fiction in his goodbye to Washington

    It's not science fiction, Trump does not believe in science, so plain old fiction?!!

    WASHINGTON (AP) — In his final remarks as president, Donald Trump tried to take credit for accomplishments of his predecessor and even those to come under President Joe Biden.

    Falsehoods suffused his farewell remarks Wednesday morning and the night before, though he was spot on with this: “We were not a regular administration.”

    As well, in noting Americans were “horrified” by the storming of the Capitol this month, he brushed past the encouragement he had given to the mob in advance — by falsely claiming widespread voting fraud — and his praise of the attackers as “very special” people while they were still ransacking the seat of power.

    “There is truth and there are lies — lies told for power and for profit,” Biden said after he took the helm as president. “Each of us has a duty and a responsibility as citizens, as Americans and especially as leaders ... to defend the truth and defeat the lies.”

    A look at some of Trump’s statements to well-wishers at Joint Base Andrews en route to Florida on Wednesday and in his videotaped address Tuesday:
