“The Federal Government, under my auspices as President of the United States of America, has stepped into the complete criminal mess that was Washington, D.C., our Nations Capital. Because of this, D.C. has gone from one of the most dangerous and murder ridden cities in the U.S.A., and even around the World, to one of the safest – In just a few weeks. The place is absolutely booming, with restaurants, stores, and businesses packed and, for the first time in decades, virtually NO CRIME. It has been a beautiful thing to watch but, now, under pressure from the Radical Left Democrats, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has presided over this violent criminal takeover of our Capital for years, has informed the Federal Government that the Metropolitan Police Department will no longer cooperate with ICE in removing and relocating dangerous illegal aliens. If I allowed this to happen, CRIME would come roaring back. To the people and businesses of Washington, D.C., DONT WORRY, I AM WITH YOU, AND WONT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. Ill call a National Emergency, and Federalize, if necessary!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post exaggerates the effects of federal intervention on crime in Washington, D.C., overstates economic growth, and mischaracterizes both historical crime trends and the actions of city officials. Data shows that while there were measurable reductions in violent crime during and following the National Guard deployment, D.C.’s crime rates were already trending downward before federal involvement. Claims about…

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s Truth Social post about Washington DC crime, federal intervention, and cooperation with ICE contains significant exaggerations and misleading characterizations alongside some accurate claims. While it is accurate that the federal government declared a crime emergency and deployed extensive federal resources in DC, the depiction of a sudden, almost complete reversal from rampant crime to “virtually no…
“I am aware of the terrible reports regarding the murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah, a well respected person in Dallas, Texas, who was brutally beheaded, in front of his wife and son, by an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Cuba who should have never been in our Country. This individual was previously arrested for terrible crimes, including child sex abuse, grand theft auto, and false imprisonment, but was released back into our Homeland under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their Country. Rest assured, the time for being soft on these Illegal Immigrant Criminals is OVER under my watch! Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Border Czar Tom Homan, and many others in my Administration, are doing an incredible job in, MAKING AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. This criminal, who we have in custody, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. He will be charged with murder in the first degree!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post about the murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah in Dallas is largely accurate in its factual details. The victim was indeed brutally beheaded in front of his family by Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, an undocumented Cuban national with a history of serious crimes including child sex abuse, carjacking, and other felonies. The post accurately describes the perpetrator’s immigration status,…
“It was my Great Honor to write the Foreword for George Tyrus Murdochs (Is he related to Rupert Murdoch?) new Book, WHAT IT IS, AMERICA.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media post claims Donald Trump wrote the foreword for George “Tyrus” Murdoch’s book “What It Is, America,” asks if Tyrus is related to Rupert Murdoch, and praises Tyrus’s prominence on the “Gutfeld!” show. Independent, credible sources confirm that Trump did write this foreword, that Tyrus (George Murdoch) has no family relationship with Rupert Murdoch, and that…
“When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other things, come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land. If we didnt do this, all of that massive Investment will never come in the first place — Chips, Semiconductors, Computers, Ships, Trains, and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to make, or, in many cases, relearn, because we used to be great at it, but not anymore. For example, Shipbuilding, where we used to build a Ship a day and now, we barely build a Ship a year. I dont want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them, and do even better than them at their own game, sometime into the not too distant future!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately highlights the significant scale of foreign investment in U.S. manufacturing and the real skills gap in advanced sectors such as semiconductors, batteries, computers, ships, and trains. The claim that the U.S. was once a global leader in these industries and has since declined is backed by industry and government data. While the statement about shipbuilding—”used…
