“Incompetent California Leaders, headed by Governor Gavin Newscum, and a traveling Mayor who likes Africa better than the USA (she chose to go there rather than stay home and fight the worst fire in California history!), are absolutely unable to get people permits to rebuild there homes. All Federal permits have been issued and received, long ago!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post includes several accurate elements—primarily, Mayor Karen Bass did travel to Africa during the fire disaster, and there are serious, persistent local permitting delays hampering the rebuilding process. However, the claim that all the problems stem from state or federal incompetence is an exaggeration. Federal permitting and initial debris removal were completed swiftly, but the backlog lies…
“FREE TINA PETERS!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The “FREE TINA PETERS” social media post implies that Tina Peters is unjustly imprisoned and should be immediately released. Factually, Peters was convicted by a jury in a Republican-leaning county for deliberately breaching election equipment security as a public official. Her prosecution was led by a Republican district attorney, and her conviction resulted from concrete criminal conduct rather…
“BREAKING NEWS: Numbers released today show that the United States of America has the lowest Trade Deficit since 2009, and going even lower. In addition, our Nations Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is predicted to come in at over 5%, and that is after losing at least 1.5% to the Democrat Shutdown. These incredible numbers, and the unprecedented SUCCESS of our Country, are a direct result of TARIFFS, which have rescued our Economy and National Security. I hope the Supreme Court is aware of these Historic, Country saving achievements prior to the issuance of their most important (ever!) Decision. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post claims that the U.S. has the lowest trade deficit since 2009, that GDP is predicted to exceed 5%, attributes these results to tariffs, and frames these developments as historic successes. While the monthly trade deficit statistic and the referenced GDPNow estimate are accurate in the narrow sense, the post omits critical context: the trade deficit…
“Biden ignored the Housing Market, and instead was immersed with High Crime, Open Borders, runaway INFLATION, the Afghanistan Disaster, and a Military that he left in Chaos and Confusion. Everything was broken, but I, as President of the United States, have already fixed it! Now, I am giving special attention to the Housing Market. Because I chose not to sell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in my First Term, a truly great decision, and against the advice of the experts, it is now worth many times that amount — AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE — and has $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN CASH. Because of this, I am instructing my Representatives to BUY $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN MORTGAGE BONDS. This will drive Mortgage Rates DOWN, monthly payments DOWN, and make the cost of owning a home more affordable. It is one of my many steps in restoring Affordability, something that the Biden Administration absolutely destroyed. We are bringing back the AMERICAN DREAM that was destroyed by the last Administration. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post inaccurately portrays the Biden administration as entirely neglecting housing policy, ignoring documented engagement in expanding homeownership and rental assistance. It exaggerates the negative impact of Biden’s tenure on housing affordability by oversimplifying complex causes rooted in pre-existing market forces and broader economic trends. The claim about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac having $200 billion in cash…
“I just finished a great meeting with the very successful Intel CEO, Lip-Bu Tan. Intel just launched the first SUB 2 NANOMETER CPU PROCESSOR designed, built, and packaged right here in the U.S.A. The United States Government is proud to be a Shareholder of Intel, and has already made, through its U.S.A. ownership position, Tens of Billions of Dollars for the American People — IN JUST FOUR MONTHS. We made a GREAT Deal, and so did Intel. Our Country is determined to bring leading edge Chip Manufacturing back to America, and that is exactly what is happening!!!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately reflects Intel’s achievement in developing and manufacturing the first sub-2 nanometer CPU node in the U.S. and correctly describes the federal government’s new equity stake in Intel. However, it misleads by overstating the extent of American-sourced manufacturing, since key processor components are made by TSMC abroad. The claim of “tens of billions” made for Americans…
