“Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the Liddle Communist, Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely. No reason to be sending good money after bad! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Governor Kathy Hochul did formally endorse Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, making the central factual claim accurate. However, the post’s reference to Mamdani as a “Liddle Communist” misrepresents Mamdani’s political ideology, as he publicly identifies as a democratic socialist rather than a communist. Trump and some conservative outlets have labeled Mamdani a “communist,” but this framing…
“The Federal Government, under my auspices as President of the United States of America, has stepped into the complete criminal mess that was Washington, D.C., our Nations Capital. Because of this, D.C. has gone from one of the most dangerous and murder ridden cities in the U.S.A., and even around the World, to one of the safest – In just a few weeks. The place is absolutely booming, with restaurants, stores, and businesses packed and, for the first time in decades, virtually NO CRIME. It has been a beautiful thing to watch but, now, under pressure from the Radical Left Democrats, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has presided over this violent criminal takeover of our Capital for years, has informed the Federal Government that the Metropolitan Police Department will no longer cooperate with ICE in removing and relocating dangerous illegal aliens. If I allowed this to happen, CRIME would come roaring back. To the people and businesses of Washington, D.C., DONT WORRY, I AM WITH YOU, AND WONT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. Ill call a National Emergency, and Federalize, if necessary!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post exaggerates the effects of federal intervention on crime in Washington, D.C., overstates economic growth, and mischaracterizes both historical crime trends and the actions of city officials. Data shows that while there were measurable reductions in violent crime during and following the National Guard deployment, D.C.’s crime rates were already trending downward before federal involvement. Claims about…

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s Truth Social post about Washington DC crime, federal intervention, and cooperation with ICE contains significant exaggerations and misleading characterizations alongside some accurate claims. While it is accurate that the federal government declared a crime emergency and deployed extensive federal resources in DC, the depiction of a sudden, almost complete reversal from rampant crime to “virtually no…
“I am aware of the terrible reports regarding the murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah, a well respected person in Dallas, Texas, who was brutally beheaded, in front of his wife and son, by an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Cuba who should have never been in our Country. This individual was previously arrested for terrible crimes, including child sex abuse, grand theft auto, and false imprisonment, but was released back into our Homeland under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their Country. Rest assured, the time for being soft on these Illegal Immigrant Criminals is OVER under my watch! Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Border Czar Tom Homan, and many others in my Administration, are doing an incredible job in, MAKING AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. This criminal, who we have in custody, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. He will be charged with murder in the first degree!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post about the murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah in Dallas is largely accurate in its factual details. The victim was indeed brutally beheaded in front of his family by Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, an undocumented Cuban national with a history of serious crimes including child sex abuse, carjacking, and other felonies. The post accurately describes the perpetrator’s immigration status,…
“It was my Great Honor to write the Foreword for George Tyrus Murdochs (Is he related to Rupert Murdoch?) new Book, WHAT IT IS, AMERICA.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media post claims Donald Trump wrote the foreword for George “Tyrus” Murdoch’s book “What It Is, America,” asks if Tyrus is related to Rupert Murdoch, and praises Tyrus’s prominence on the “Gutfeld!” show. Independent, credible sources confirm that Trump did write this foreword, that Tyrus (George Murdoch) has no family relationship with Rupert Murdoch, and that…
