Where is the fault?

The minty gum really saves her today due to the cat having chewed on her toothbrush .
If we will have made 30 Euros by then, I will consider the business a success.
The reason why Trump has such a big community is because Hillary is telling to many lies and promises.

I was told there are grammar mistakes, thanks in advance

The first sentence is too odd meaning-wise for me to comment on. Other errors are highlighted: If we will have made 30 Euros by then, I will consider the business a success. However, this is a tiny amount for a business.

Thank you but can you explain what is wrong with "telling too many lies" and what I have to change? And one more question: If the example was: If we will have made 300000 Euros by then, I will consider the business a success. What do I have to change so it is right?

Nothing, but you wrote "telling to many lies and promises".

"telling too many lies" is not what you wrote; you have fixed one of the problems. However, another problem remains. "telling too many lies and promises" implies "telling lies" and "telling promises". The first of these is correct; the second is not.
