“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…
“….BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD CRAZY, THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE NUCLEAR OPTION, GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post combines a factual reference to the “nuclear option” and filibuster elimination with hyperbolic, partisan rhetoric claiming that Democrats have “gone stone cold crazy.” The proposal to remove the filibuster is a real procedural possibility under current Senate rules and has been debated within Republican circles during the ongoing government shutdown. However, the assertion about Democrats’ mental…
“As I have said for years, OBAMACARE IS A DISASTER! Rates are going through the roof for really bad healthcare!!! Do something Democrats!!!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post criticizes the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as a “disaster,” claims premiums are “going through the roof,” and describes ACA-provided healthcare as “really bad.” Analysis finds the post contains some factual elements, especially regarding dramatic premium increases in 2026, but omits essential context. Most notably, premium hikes are primarily driven by the pending expiration of…

Safe Task Force! You will be at the cutting edge of defending our Nations Capital City from all dangers and threats, and will be able to join the elite Agency of your choice.

Fact-Check Summary The post about joining the “Make DC Safe Task Force” contains elements of truth but is largely misleading. The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force is a real federal law enforcement initiative established in 2025, and official recruitment is ongoing. However, the post features a malformed URL, exaggerates immediate deployment, and uses vague, overly promotional language that aligns…
