“Today we are declaring a public safety emergency in the District of Columbia…” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post claiming that a public safety emergency was declared in the District of Columbia on August 11, 2025 is factually accurate. Multiple major news outlets confirm that President Trump made this declaration, invoked Section 740 of the Home Rule Act, and deployed the National Guard, placing D.C. police under federal control. However, the statistical rationale cited…
“Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER! I quickly fixed the Border (ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!), D.C. is next!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media post from President Trump claims that Washington D.C. will be “liberated” from crime and disorder, asserts he fixed the southern border with “ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months,” and states that crime in D.C. will disappear as a result of his intervention.

Verified statements from Trump on Truth Social do include the sentiment “We want our Capital BACK” and reference aggressive federal intervention in Washington, D.C. However, the phrase “Liberation Day” is not present in any official communication and appears to be user-generated…
“Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is a Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons – Only slightly dumber.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post degrades Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and other progressive Democrats by labeling them “low IQ” and “country destroying morons,” and implies they would all fail a cognitive exam that Donald Trump claims to have “aced” at Walter Reed hospital. The factual record confirms that Rep. Crockett earned a BA from Rhodes College and a law degree…
“Paul Krugman of the New York Times has been predicting Doom and Gloom ever since my great election success in 2016. In other words, he has been wrong for YEARS, as ALL markets have been hitting new HIGHS, and are now higher than ever before. People stayed out of the BEST MARKET IN HISTOY because of this Trump Deranged BUM. Sue them!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post claims Paul Krugman has been persistently wrong about market doom since 2016, that markets have reached unprecedented highs under Trump, and that Krugman’s predictions kept people out of the “best market in history.” Krugman did make incorrect, dire predictions immediately after Trump’s 2016 win but retracted them days later and has made more nuanced comments since.…
