“It was so interesting yesterday when our Great Senator from Louisiana, John Kennedy, introduced a Bill in an attempt to withhold Members of Congress from getting paid, and Rand Paul, who never votes for anything, tried to stop it, because he wanted to be paid! In other words, Rand wanted to pay the people who stopped Government from working! Whats going on with Rand?” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Senator John Kennedy did introduce bills to withhold Congressional pay during a government shutdown, and Senator Rand Paul objected to these bills. However, Paul’s objection was not to maintain pay for himself or other members of Congress. Instead, he advocated for a more comprehensive solution that would pay all federal employees, not just Congress. Claims that Paul was…
“It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa. Afrikaners (People who are descended from Dutch settlers, and also French and German immigrants) are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue. I look forward to hosting the 2026 G20 in Miami, Florida!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post claims that Afrikaners in South Africa are being systematically killed, their land is being illegally confiscated, and this constitutes ongoing human rights abuses justifying a U.S. government boycott of the G20 summit in South Africa. All current evidence indicates that while violent crime in South Africa is a severe problem, there is no…
“The United States Senate should not leave town until they have a Deal to end the Democrat Shutdown. If they cant reach a Deal, the Republicans should terminate the Filibuster, IMMEDIATELY, and take care of our Great American Workers!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The quote is correctly attributed to President Trump and was posted on Truth Social on November 7, 2025. Core facts about the government shutdown’s duration, the filibuster’s role in Senate procedure, and ongoing legislative impasse are accurate. However, the claim tags the event as the “Democrat Shutdown,” which is a disputed, politicized framing rather than objective fact. Calls…
“While Cattle Prices have dropped substantially, the price of Boxed Beef has gone up — Therefore, you know that something is fishy. We will get to the bottom of it very quickly. If there is criminality, those people responsible will pay a steep price!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that cattle prices have dropped substantially while boxed beef prices have increased is partially accurate for specific periods in 2025. Significant divergence did occur, with cattle prices falling sharply and boxed beef prices staying high or rising temporarily. However, more recent data shows boxed beef prices declining alongside cattle, narrowing the gap. The post’s assertion of…
“I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation. We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nations food supply. Action must be taken immediately to protect Consumers, combat Illegal Monopolies, and ensure these Corporations are not criminally profiting at the expense of the American People. I am asking the DOJ to act expeditiously. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post urges the DOJ to investigate meat packing companies for alleged illicit price fixing, collusion, and price manipulation, claiming harm to American ranchers and consumers. The claims regarding the DOJ request, existing lawsuits, industry concentration, and partial foreign ownership are factual and documented. Still, the assertion that the Big Four are “majority foreign owned” overstates the…
