“The Pay Back Numbers being quoted by the Radical Left Lunatics, who would love to see us lose on Tariffs because of how bad it would be for our Country, are much higher than those being stated by our Fake Opposition — Opposition mainly from Foreign Countries that would do anything to be allowed to charge us Tariffs without retribution. The actual Number we would have to pay back in Tariff Revenue and Investments would be in excess of $2 Trillion Dollars, and that, in itself, would be a National Security catastrophe. Those opposed to us in the United States Supreme Court are giving low Numbers so that the Court will think it is easy to get out of this terrible situation that these Anarchists and Thugs have put us into!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s claim that the United States would need to pay back more than $2 trillion in tariff revenue and investments is significantly exaggerated. According to official sources, total actual tariff revenue collected as of fiscal year 2025 is around $215 billion, with potential tariff refunds if courts overturn these measures estimated at $72–200 billion. Even the highest…
“All money left over from the $2000 payments made to low and middle income USA Citizens, from the massive Tariff Income pouring into our Country from foreign countries, which will be substantial, will be used to SUBSTANTIALLY PAY DOWN NATIONAL DEBT. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim accurately reflects statements made by President Trump regarding $2,000 payments to low and middle-income Americans funded by tariff revenue, but the post misleadingly treats the proposal as established policy. No legislation has been passed, Congressional approval is required, legal hurdles exist, and the available tariff revenue falls short of covering both payments and debt reduction. The…
“All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesnt will be substantially docked. For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didnt take ANY TIME OFF for the Democrat Shutdown Hoax, I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didnt step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last Administration wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated junk. They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU – I wont be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post attributed to Donald Trump about air traffic controllers during the government shutdown contains a mix of accurate, misleading, and legally dubious claims. While Trump did make statements pressuring air traffic controllers to return to work and referenced bonuses, his threats of docking pay and denying severance are not supported by federal law. The post…

“Liz Peek is great on Maria Bartiromo. She really gets it. Thank you Liz!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post praises Liz Peek’s appearances on Maria Bartiromo’s program, framing her as insightful and effective. These statements are subjective opinions, not factual claims. Verified elements include the real identities of Liz Peek and Maria Bartiromo and their established professional association on Fox Business’s “Mornings with Maria.” However, the assessment of Peek as “great” and someone who “really…
