However, the majority of Trump’s assertions are untrue. The details of what he said are listed below.

Ron, as chancellor of Florida, performed worse than New York in terms of Covid Death Rates Per State.

Florida did not experience a particularly high death rate during the pandemic, which is made all the more interesting by the fact that it has one of the highest amounts of older people in the nation and that coronavirus deaths disproportionately affect the elderly.

According to Becker’s Hospital Review, Florida had the 17th-highest death rate per 100,000 individuals.

By the same measure, New York had the eighth-worst death rate per 100,000 residents.

According to information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New York had a lower death rate per 100,000 individuals per year in 2021 than Florida did. Trump’s assertion that New York outperformed Florida in preventing have perhaps have originated from this.

However, the details show Florida’s suicide rate in 2020, when compared to then-New York Governor DeSantis’ reopening system. The system used by Andrew Cuomo was the most direct and inferior to that of New York.

Additionally, Florida’s suicide rate is significantly lower than New Yorks’ if you look at the whole number of deaths for all three years of the pandemic.

Florida does not have the highest amount of murders either.

Florida has the third-highest natural range of rapes, according to a Statista data analysis of 2020 FBI statistics, and Trump does had based his claim on that list, but the number is deceptive given Florida’s huge population.

Texas was at the top of the list for the most murders, followed by California and Florida, but neither of those states has a higher rate per person; instead, they simply have more people.

Florida is the 35th state with the highest rate of rape per 100,000 individuals, making it the safest state overall.

Trump seems to have made the same error when citing data on aggravated abuse.

Due to the sizable population sizes of all three states, Florida has the third-highest natural number of aggravated assaults, trailing only California and Texas.

Additionally, the most recent US News & World Report data indicate that Orlando has a lower-than-average murder price.

Florida is ranked# 39 in the nation for health and safety when it comes to schooling.

The majority of standing systems don’t separate the health and safety of schooling as a measure when they evaluate the quality of schools, so it’s unclear exactly what Trump meant by that.

Florida was ranked as the 32nd-worst say for” school health” in a study by the higher education website Scholaroo, which is still better than what Trump claimed.

Additionally, Florida’s educational system is highly regarded by the majority of some metrics, as has already been established.
