Russian collusion happened. It's documented in the Mueller report and the fifth report by the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, which was signed by Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, John Cornyn, and Richard Burr, among other Republicans and Democrats. Certainly not an anti-Trump collection of people.
It's about 900 pages documenting a pretty extensive fact pattern of meetings with various Russian government and intelligence operatives with members of the Trump team. Whether you personally call that "collusion" or not is a semantic choice, but for just one example, Paul Manafort shared campaign data with a Russian intelligence officer, Konstantin Kilimnik. Seems pretty questionable to me.
And this just reminded me of another Trump lie -- that he had "no business interests with Russia" while he was actively working on the Trump Tower Moscow deal.
The first link you sent has nothing to do with what we're talking about. I'm not talking about Russian bounties at all.
The second link you said is trying to make a big scandal out of two handwritten sentences, one of which is largely redacted, and which, together, just say that Clinton planned on making Russian interference a campaign issue. The rest of the article lacks any quotes for its claims and seems to be editorializing, but even if the claim were true (Russians were injecting disinformation into Clinton's campaign re: Trump), that seems like it would make it even more likely they were also targeting Trump's campaign. Why would they only target one?
Finally, you can't just dismiss an entire 900+ page report by saying "they lied". There's literally hundreds of pages of documentation and research by teams of investigators there. If you dispute an individual claim you can say which one and why, but dismissing the entire report out of hand is just partisan laziness.
All of this isn't even on topic though. The question was "Has Trump ever said something that didn't turn out to be true?" I gave 10 examples, so even if I grant you the Russian collusion one (which I don't), there's nine more to contend with. How about "China pays for the tariffs" or "Trump's tax cut was the biggest ever"? Both those are just manifestly, unambiguously false.
You must be joking. Yes, Trump made statements that weren't true, literally thousands of times.
