“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!DONALD J. TRUMP,PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald J. Trump’s post highlights the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, attributes responsibility to radical Islamist groups, and announces his designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Widely accepted reports confirm Nigeria is the world’s deadliest country for Christians in terms of fatal attacks, with thousands killed annually. Trump’s claims regarding the existential threat faced…
“I just inspected the construction on The Kennedy Center. It is really looking good! The exterior columns, which were in serious danger of corrosion if something werent done, are completed, and look magnificent in White Enamel — Like a different place! Marble is being done, stages are being renovated, new seats, new chairs, and new fabrics will soon be installed, and magnificent high end carpeting throughout the building. It is happening faster than anticipated, one of my trademarks. My people are doing a really great job! We are bringing this building back to life. It was dead as a doornail, but it will soon be beautiful again!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately describes many aspects of the ongoing Kennedy Center renovations—such as column repainting, marble work, and improvements to seating and carpeting. These details are consistent with public statements and official renovation updates. However, the claim that the exterior columns were in “serious danger of corrosion” lacks substantiation in any official documentation or credible reporting about the…
“The Refurbished Lincoln Bathroom in the White House — Highly polished, Statuary marble!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s statement about renovating the Lincoln Bathroom with statuary marble is factually accurate regarding the recent renovation itself and the materials used. However, his claims about the historical appropriateness and origin of these materials, and the bathroom’s earlier design attribution to the “1940s,” contain inaccuracies and speculation. The timing of prior renovations aligns more closely with the…
“I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post contains a mix of historical accuracy, reasonable opinion, and unsupported speculation. The assertion that the White House Lincoln Bathroom featured an Art Deco green tile style from the 1940s is supported by historical documentation. The claim that this was inappropriate for the Lincoln Era is contextually accurate, as Art Deco postdates Lincoln by several decades.…
“I just got back from Asia where I met the Leaders of many Countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and others. It was a Great Honor to meet them but, more particularly, to see that America is respected again — RESPECTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE! Great Trade Deals were made, Long Term relationships now exist, and money is pouring into our Country because of Tariffs and, frankly, the Landslide Results of the 2024 Presidential Election. The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it? The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY? Majority Leader John Thune, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, are doing a GREAT job, but the Democrats are Crazed Lunatics that have lost all sense of WISDOM and REALITY. It is a sick form of the now legendary Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that only comes from losing too much. They want Trillions of Dollars to be taken from our Healthcare System and given to others, who are not deserving — People who have come into our Country illegally, many from prisons and mental institutions. This will hurt American citizens, and Republicans will not let it happen. It is now time for the Republicans to play their TRUMP CARD, and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW! Just a short while ago, the Democrats, while in power, fought for three years to do this, but were unable to pull it off because of Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Never have the Democrats fought so hard to do something because they knew the tremendous strength that terminating the Filibuster would give them. They want to substantially expand (PACK!) the United States Supreme Court, make Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico States (Thereby automatically picking up 4 Senate seats, many House seats, and at least 8 Electoral Votes!), and many other highly destructive things. Well, now WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, Country destroying SHUT DOWN. If the Democrats ever came back into power, which would be made easier for them if the Republicans are not using the Great Strength and Policies made available to us by ending the Filibuster, the Democrats will exercise their rights, and it will be done in the first day they take office, regardless of whether or not we do it. In addition to all of the other things we would get, such as the best Judges, the best U.S. Attorneys, the best of everything, this was a concept from years ago of then President Barack Hussein Obama and former Majority Leader Harry Reid in order to take advantage of the Republicans. Now I want to do it in order to take advantage of the Democrats….” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Trump’s post about his Asia trip, the ongoing government shutdown, and proposals to eliminate the Senate filibuster presents a mix of factual events, contested interpretations, and debunked assertions. While it is accurate that he recently returned from Asia and met with numerous leaders, and there were trade initiatives, his claims about America being “respected like never before” and…
