“To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post misrepresents the content of President Trump’s August 25, 2025 executive order on flag burning. While the order does exist, it does not establish a mandatory one-year prison sentence for burning the American flag. Instead, it directs federal agencies to prioritize enforcement of existing laws surrounding flag desecration, all while acknowledging First Amendment protections for political expression.…
“I am proud to announce that on Sunday, October 5th, I will be hosting a Salute to the Fleet in Norfolk, Virginia, to honor our brave men and women of the United States Navy. Our wonderful First Lady, as well as our great Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, will be joining me as we mark 250 years of MARITIME DOMINANCE in the United States of America! Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the other Minority Radical Left Democrats tried their best, through the ridiculous Government Shutdown, to destroy this wonderful celebration of the U.S. Navys Birthday, and to stop our Military Servicemembers from celebrating American Naval History. However, I believe, THE SHOW MUST GO ON! The U.S. Navy has been planning this event for many months and, despite the Democrats incompetence, I refuse to let them down as their Commander-in-Chief. This will be the largest Celebration in the History of the Navy. Thousands of our brave Active Duty Servicemembers and Military Families will be in attendance, and I look forward to this special day with all of them. See you on Sunday!” @realDonaldTrump

“Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, its far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post from Donald Trump correctly references a statement just issued by Hamas and presents his personal interpretation that they are ready for “lasting peace.” He accurately notes his own call for Israel to halt bombing Gaza to facilitate hostage release, referencing ongoing dangerous conditions and active diplomatic discussions. All core elements of the statement are…

“A boat loaded with enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE was stopped, early this morning off the Coast of Venezuela, from entering American Territory.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media post accurately reflects that the U.S. has conducted multiple confirmed strikes on boats off the coast of Venezuela since September 2025. However, the central claim—stopping a boat “loaded with enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE”—remains highly questionable. Available evidence does not substantiate the presence or precise quantity of drugs on these boats,…
