“Gavin Newscum is way down in the polls. He is viewed as the man who is destroying the once Great State of California. I will save California!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that Governor Gavin Newsom is “way down in the polls” and “destroying” California is not supported by the most recent polling data or objective evidence. In fact, multiple independent polls from 2025 show that Newsom’s approval rating among Californians has risen significantly compared to the prior year—moving from underwater approval in 2024 to majority or plurality…
“59% APPROVAL RATING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, MASSIVE LEAD OVER THE DEMOCRATS.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim on Truth Social that President Trump has a 59% approval rating and a “massive lead over the Democrats” is false. Examination of multiple reputable polls conducted in July and August 2025 shows Trump’s approval rating ranging between 37% and 46%. No credible poll supports a 59% national approval rating.

“Secretary Marco Rubio: The only leader in the world that can talk to both [Putin and Zelensky] and bring them both to a meeting is Donald J. Trump… We should be proud that we have a President thats made peace a priority.” @realDonaldTrump

“Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, Lee Zeldin: ZERO TOLERANCE: The Trump EPA terminates ALL green slush funds riddled with waste and abuse. Up to $29+ BILLION CANCELLED thus far, which is over 3x the size of EPAs annual operating budget.” @realDonaldTrump

The monetary claim and the…
“Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, Lee Zeldin: We want to power the great American comeback, which means clean air, land, and water for all Americans — but we can also help unleash energy dominance… permitting reform, bringing back American auto jobs. These are also demands the American public voted for.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The content closely parallels Lee Zeldin’s officially announced EPA policy framework, including priorities on clean air, energy dominance, permitting reform, and American auto jobs. However, while Zeldin has made similar public statements and press releases, there is no direct evidence confirming he posted this specific wording on TruthSocial. The attribution remains unverified even as the underlying policy positions…
