“THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR…” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social posts referring to “THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR” are factually grounded in President Trump’s September 5, 2025 executive order, which designates “Department of War” as a secondary title for the Department of Defense. Trump’s statements and associated imagery are based on real actions and government communications. However, the order does not change the Department of Defense’s…
“Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for the United States Senate in Iowa, a State I love and WON BIG, THREE TIMES, in 2016, 2020, and 2024. I know Ashley well, and she is a WINNER! A Loving Wife and Proud Mother of two sons, Ashley is a wonderful person, has ALWAYS delivered for Iowa, and will continue doing so in the United States Senate. She is working hard to Create Jobs, Cut Taxes, Promote Products and Services MADE IN AMERICA by our incredible Iowa Workers, Support our Great Farmers and American Agriculture, Champion Innovation, Continue to Help Secure our now very Secure Southern Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Ashley Hinson will be an outstanding Senator, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement – SHE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post accurately states that Ashley Hinson is running for U.S. Senate in Iowa and has Trump’s endorsement. Trump’s claims of winning Iowa in 2016, 2020, and 2024 are correct—he secured solid victories in all three cycles, with his margin notably expanding in 2024. Biographical statements about Hinson’s family are factual. The post attributes a range…
“The Democrats have gone CRAZY.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The statement “The Democrats have gone CRAZY” is a subjective political opinion, not a verifiable factual claim. It offers no supporting evidence or specifics, making it impossible to fact-check in the traditional sense. Such content is representative of partisan rhetoric typical on platforms like Truth Social, which are known for facilitating echo chambers and amplifying divisive narratives. The…
“In addition to my previously posted TRUTH concerning Google, please let this Statement serve to represent that Google has also paid, in the past, $13 Billion Dollars in false claims and charges for a total of $16.5 Billion Dollars. How crazy is that? The European Union must stop this practice against American Companies, IMMEDIATELY!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that Google has paid $13 billion in fines and a total of $165 billion in penalties due to false claims and charges is factually incorrect. Verified records show Google’s total exposure to EU antitrust fines is approximately $10.8 billion (not all of which has been paid, due to ongoing appeals and annulments), and not remotely close…
“Europe today hit another great American company, Google, with a $3.5 Billion Dollar fine, effectively taking money that would otherwise go to American Investments and Jobs. This is on top of the many other Fines and Taxes that have been issued against Google and other American Tech Companies, in particular. Very unfair, and the American Taxpayer will not stand for it! As I have said before, my Administration will NOT allow these discriminatory actions to stand. Apple, as an example, was forced to pay $17 Billion Dollars in a Fine that, in my opinion, should not have been charged — They should get their money back! We cannot let this happen to brilliant and unprecedented American Ingenuity and, if it does, I will be forced to start a Section 301 proceeding to nullify the unfair penalties being charged to these Taxpaying American Companies. Thank you for your attention to this matter!DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately cites a recent €2.95 billion ($3.5 billion) fine issued to Google by the European Commission for antitrust violations. However, it materially overstates the Apple penalty: Apple was ordered to pay €13 billion (about $14.34 billion) in back taxes, not $17 billion. The post frames EU regulation as discriminatory against American firms, but evidence indicates that…
