“RT @realDonaldTrumpA Blue Slip means that if youre a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, Blue Slips are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and thats not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post about the Senate blue slip process is rife with inaccuracies. The blue slip is a Senate tradition—not a constitutional requirement or permanent blockade—allowing home-state senators input on federal judicial or prosecutorial nominees. Contrary to Trump’s claims, the blue slip process does not make it impossible for a Republican president to have Republican appointees confirmed in…
“RT @realDonaldTrumpThe meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was very interesting, and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL! Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide! No more shooting, no more Death, no more vast and unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a War that would have never started if I were President. Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week — NO MORE, GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES IN PEACE!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The October 17, 2025 meeting between Donald Trump and President Zelenskyy is accurately referenced. Trump’s claim that the meeting was “cordial” is partially true: on-camera, the interaction was friendly, but multiple credible reports documented significant underlying tensions. Trump’s public call for both sides to “make a deal” and “stop where they are” aligns with contemporaneous statements to both…
“Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, must be thrown out of office, ASAP! The incredible people of Kentuckys 4th Congressional District gave us a mandate to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that will help us do that is Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Fifth Generation Kentucky Farmer, Captain Ed Gallrein, a true America First Patriot. A Brave Combat Veteran, Ed knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. Additionally, as a very successful Businessman, Ed knows how to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Support our Amazing Farmers and American Agriculture, Unleash American Energy Dominance, and Champion our Nations Golden Age. In Congress, he will fight tirelessly to Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. I hope Ed gets into the Race against Massie, who is now polling at about 9% because the Great People of Kentucky are wise to him — He only votes against the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike lightweight Massie, a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Should he decide to challenge Massie, Captain Ed Gallrein has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, ED, RUN — MAGA!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about Congressman Thomas Massie and Ed Gallrein includes several fact-based statements, notable exaggerations, and some inaccuracies. The post accurately conveys Ed Gallrein’s well-documented background as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger-qualified officer, and fifth-generation Kentucky farmer. However, the claim that Thomas Massie is “polling at about 9%” is not supported by available polling data,…
“Whatever happened to Senator Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. Hes a nasty liddle guy, much like Congressman Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First. Its really weird!!!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post by Donald Trump about Senator Rand Paul contains both verifiable facts and misleading statements. Trump’s claim that he “got him elected TWICE” is inaccurate with respect to Paul’s initial 2010 Senate victory, which preceded Trump’s involvement in politics. However, Trump’s support for Paul’s later reelections is documented. Trump’s assertion of winning Kentucky three times…
“George Santos was somewhat of a rogue, but there are many rogues throughout our Country that arent forced to serve seven years in prison. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard Da Nang Dick Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, Da Nang stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was a Great Hero, he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that George Santos was sentenced to over seven years in federal prison and that President Trump commuted his sentence on October 17, 2025, leading to Santos’s immediate release. It is also true that Santos was held in solitary confinement for a period while incarcerated, with reports of hardship—but allegations of “horrible mistreatment” are based…
