“DEPARTMENT OF WAR IS BACK, AND SO IS AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump did sign an executive order on September 5, 2025, restoring the historic “Department of War” as a secondary title for the Department of Defense. This order allows officials to use titles like “Secretary of War” in official and public communications, with official documentation and multiple major news outlets confirming the policy’s implementation.

“Happy Birthday Mary, Queen of Peace!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The message “Happy Birthday Mary Queen of Peace” contains several verifiable religious truths.

“6 people were murdered in Chicago this weekend, 12 others were shot, and in serious condition. This would mean that over the past number of weeks, approximately 50 people were killed, and hundreds were shot, many expected to die.

“Washington, D.C. IS A SAFE ZONE IN JUST A MATTER OF WEEKS. Thank you, President Trump. Whos Next???” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post “Washington DC IS A SAFE ZONE IN JUST A MATTER OF WEEKS Thank you President Trump Whos Next” closely mirrors President Trump’s recent claims on social media about transforming Washington D.C. into a “safe zone” following federal intervention. However, the assertion that D.C. became entirely safe or crime-free within weeks is misleading. While targeted crime categories…

We dont need destructive, WOKE recipients getting our cherished American Awards!!! Hopefully the Academy Awards, and other Fake Award Shows, will review their Standards and Practices in the name of Fairness and Justice. Watch their DEAD RATINGS SURGE!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The core event referenced—West Point’s Association of Graduates canceling an award ceremony for Tom Hanks—is true and well-documented.

The claim’s rhetoric about “woke” recipients and its implication that this move is a stand against destructive influences reflects common talking points…
