“For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans. It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it. People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic, including further Housing and Affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post correctly highlights a real and worsening housing affordability crisis, especially for younger Americans. It is factual that homeownership is a long-standing element of the American Dream and that first-time homebuyers face serious challenges today. The claim that record inflation was “caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress” oversimplifies a complex economic situation with multiple…
“In honor of the late, GREAT, Congressman Doug LaMalfa, a true American Patriot and fantastic Representative of Northern California, yesterday I ordered all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until this evening. Doug will be dearly missed!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that President Trump ordered American flags to be lowered to half-mast nationwide in honor of Rep. Doug LaMalfa following LaMalfa’s death. Multiple reliable sources confirm the flag order and LaMalfa’s passing as a sitting congressman. The phrase “until this evening” is accurate given the order’s same-day duration. The post’s praise of LaMalfa is subjective,…
“Remember, for all of those big NATO fans, they were at 2% GDP, and most werent paying their bills, UNTIL I CAME ALONG. The USA was, foolishly, paying for them! I, respectfully, got them to 5% GDP, AND THEY PAY, immediately. Everyone said that couldnt be done, but it could, because, beyond all else, they are all my friends. Without my involvement, Russia would have ALL OF UKRAINE right now. Remember, also, I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize. But that doesnt matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives. RUSSIA AND CHINA HAVE ZERO FEAR OF NATO WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM. EVERYONE IS LUCKY THAT I REBUILT OUR MILITARY IN MY FIRST TERM, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. We will always be there for NATO, even if they wont be there for us. The only Nation that China and Russia fear and respect is the DJT REBUILT U.S.A. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post attributed to President Trump contains a mix of partially accurate, misleading, and inaccurate claims about NATO defense spending, the ending of wars, U.S. military strength, and Trump’s diplomatic achievements. Notably, while Trump increased pressure on NATO allies to raise contributions and oversaw higher U.S. defense spending, neither NATO spending reached 5% GDP under his tenure nor…
“HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST. HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post urging teams to “HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH FAST” and calling both Harbaugh brothers “total winners” is substantially accurate. John Harbaugh was fired by the Baltimore Ravens on January 6, 2026. Both John and Jim Harbaugh have highly successful coaching careers, with multiple championships and accolades between them. The post is correctly attributed to Trump,…
“I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States! I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately. It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMPPRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that Venezuela’s interim authorities will immediately transfer 30 to 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to the United States, with proceeds to be controlled personally by Donald Trump as President, is not supported by credible evidence. Official records and reporting do not confirm any such arrangement, nor is there verification of Energy Secretary Chris Wright executing…
