In a largely issue-free presidential election, attempts to parse policy positions can be difficult. Here is what Republican Donald Trump said Sept. 6 at an event with former General Michael Flynn:

"Well, that's it. And you know cyber is becoming so big today. It's becoming something that a number of years ago, short number of years ago, wasn't even a word. And now the cyber is so big. And you know you look at what they're doing with the Internet, how they're taking and recruiting people through the Internet. And part of it is the psychology because so many people think they're winning. Any you know, there's a whole big thing. Even today's psychology — where CNN came out with a big poll. Their big poll came out today that Trump is winning. It's good psychology, you know. It's good psychology. I know that for a fact because people they didn't call me yesterday, they're calling me today. So that's the way life works, right? But I think we're doing very well and I really thank the state of Virginia, so many different places have been so incredible. So I thank you very much. But cyber has been very, very important and it's becoming more and more important as you look and a lot of it does have to do with ideology and psychology and lots of other things."

There seems to be only one factual statement that could be fact-checked in that monologue. Trump claims "cyber" was not a word a few years ago. In 2013, the blog Gizmodo traced the history of the word to the 1940 book "Cybernetics." Other than that, Trump seems to be saying he will stop the online tactics of ISIL because of his large poll numbers.
