“I am sorry that the American People are being terrorized by Democrats who have decided to shut the Government down to make me and other Republicans continue ObamaCare subsidies, which have been a windfall for Health Insurance Companies, and a DISASTER for the American People. The largest Health Insurance Companies have seen their Stock Prices soar (Some over 1000%!) since the passage of ObamaCare. Meanwhile, Americans Premiums have more than DOUBLED, contrary to President Obamas promise. I believe that the money should go directly to THE PEOPLE to purchase better Healthcare, and create competition. This enrichment of Health Insurance companies must stop. It is long past time to lower Premiums, not enrich Insurance Companies. I stand ready to work with both Parties to solve this problem once the Government is open. Stop terrorizing the American People. Stop pushing failed policies!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post contains several true claims regarding the extraordinary stock gains for health insurers since the passage of the ACA and President Obama’s original promise about lowering premiums. While health insurer profits and stock prices have surged, especially due to increased government payments through subsidies, the assertion that this constitutes a pure “windfall” ignores the ACA’s impact in…
“WOW!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The provided post consists solely of the word “WOW” without context or substantive content. As such, it is not possible to fact-check any specific factual assertion or claim. If “WOW” is referencing a broader trend, such as its common use in reaction posts on Truth Social, those uses also typically lack factual detail and should not be interpreted…
“RT @repgregsteubeYessir! Ive been saying this for weeks! #KilltheFil” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Rep. Greg Steube is an established advocate for eliminating the filibuster, particularly during the prolonged government shutdown in late 2025. While Steube has made numerous public statements urging Senate Republicans to “kill the filibuster,” there is no publicly documented evidence confirming this exact quote or wording on Truth Social. The substance of the post aligns with Steube’s well-documented…
“I am pleased to announce that John Coale, Esq., known as one of our Countrys truly GREAT lawyers, whose Victories included the first major Tobacco Case Win, is being nominated as the United States Special Envoy to Belarus. He has already successfully negotiated the release of 100 Hostages, and is going for an additional 50. I would like to thank, in advance, the Highly Respected President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, for his consideration on the release of these additional people. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately describes John Coale’s landmark role in tobacco litigation but misstates his official government title and exaggerates his direct role in political prisoner releases in Belarus. Coale is a Deputy Special Envoy to Ukraine, not Belarus. Verified releases attributed directly to his negotiations total 66, not 100, and broader numbers cited conflate different operations. References to…
“So, lets get this straight??? The President of the United States is allowed (and fully approved by Congress!) to stop ALL TRADE with a Foreign Country (Which is far more onerous than a Tariff!), and LICENSE a Foreign Country, but is not allowed to put a simple Tariff on a Foreign Country, even for purposes of NATIONAL SECURITY. That is NOT what our great Founders had in mind! The whole thing is ridiculous! Other Countries can Tariff us, but we cant Tariff them??? It is their DREAM!!! Businesses are pouring into the USA ONLY BECAUSE OF TARIFFS. HAS THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT NOT BEEN TOLD THIS??? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately describes the legal tension between presidential authority for embargoes versus tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Courts confirm that embargoes fall within presidential powers under IEEPA, but imposing tariffs is not explicitly authorized. The post exaggerates by implying the president has no tariff authority at all, omitting that Congress explicitly grants such…
