As MStars News has reported, Donald Trump is officially running for president in 2016. And while the world of comedy is ecstatic at the news, it seems that they're about to get even more material because it's being reported that during his over 30-minute speech at Trump Tower, the Celebrity Apprentice star – who will not be doing Season 15 due to his candidacy – flubbed a few of the facts.

Actually, a lot of them.

But because time is short and we know you're off to watch another animal video on YouTube, MStars has the top three facts that Trump got wrong during his presidential announcement.

Per a report from FactCheck.org, Trump hit points from jobs to Mexico to the GDP to ISIS. And with many of the topics he chose to discuss, he appeared to get a number of things wrong.

GDP
From the FactCheck report, it looks like Trump claimed that our country's growth has never been below zero. But according to the site, our Growth Domestic Product has actually been below zero a reported 42 times in the past.

UNEMPLOYMENT
Much of the NBC star's speech had to do with jobs, specifically saying "there are no jobs" to be found in America. However, under President Obama's run, "there were 5.4 million job openings recorded at the end of April." FactCheck notes that this is the most in 15 years.

TALIBAN EXCHANGE FOR BERGDAHL
Down the line in Trump's speech, the real estate mogul noted that the five Taliban heads who were exchanged for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl are back "on the battlefield" today and are "trying to kill us." However, it seems that the truth is they are in Qatar being monitored. The State Department claims the leaders are "subject to a travel ban."
