“These FBI Agents are total Scum, in their own way no better than the insurrectionists in Portland, Minnesota, Los Angeles, etc. Kash better get them out, NOW! Radical Left Lunatics put in by the Auto Pen and Obama!President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post levels harsh accusations against FBI agents, referring to them as “scum” and drawing false equivalence between their actions and those of insurrectionists or rioters in multiple U.S. cities. While it is correct that Director Kash Patel has initiated significant personnel changes at the FBI since 2025, the post exaggerates and distorts the underlying facts. The claim…
“The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and that doesnt include the amount of payback that Countries and Companies would require for the Investments they are making on building Plants, Factories, and Equipment, for the purpose of being able to avoid the payment of Tariffs. When these Investments are added, we are talking about Trillions of Dollars! It would be a complete mess, and almost impossible for our Country to pay. Anybody who says that it can be quickly and easily done would be making a false, inaccurate, or totally misunderstood answer to this very large and complex question. It may not be possible but, if it were, it would be Dollars that would be so large that it would take many years to figure out what number we are talking about and even, who, when, and where, to pay. Remember, when America shines brightly, the World shines brightly. In other words, if the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WERE SCREWED!PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s statement on potential Supreme Court-mandated tariff refunds contains elements of fact mixed with substantial exaggeration and some unsupported speculation. It is true that a Supreme Court ruling against the tariffs would require substantial refunds, likely in the $130-150 billion range, and that the process would be administratively complex. However, the claim that refund obligations would reach…

“Im the one who SAVED NATO!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s claim, “I’m the one who SAVED NATO,” is based primarily on his pressuring member countries to increase defense spending commitments. While his administration did effect notable increases in NATO members’ spending, calling this “saving” the alliance is misleading given Trump’s simultaneous rhetoric and policy actions that have undermined NATO’s mutual defense commitments and credibility. Belief Alignment…
