“Mortgage Rates are NOW 5.7%! Mortgage costs were HUGE under Biden (around 8%). Thats why almost no young families could afford a home. With my focus on Housing Affordability, and after I authorized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to invest their cash, and BUY $200 Billion Dollars in Mortgage Bonds, Mortgage Rates moved down to 5.7%. This is GREAT news for American Families, and real cost relief. We are bringing Housing Costs DOWN, and putting Americans FIRST!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post claims current mortgage rates are 5.7%, previously were “around 8%” under Biden, almost no young families could afford homes, and a directive to buy $200B in mortgage bonds brought rates down and improved affordability. Factually, while mortgage rates have dropped to 5.99% recently—near, but not yet at, 5.7%—the history of nearly 8% rates under Biden is…
“Many of my strongest supporters and friends in Wyoming have been calling and telling me how great MAGA Megan Degenfelder is, because she is considering launching a Campaign to be the next Governor of the Great State of Wyoming, a place I love and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024. From everything I know about her, she would be fantastic! A Sixth Generation Wyomingite, and Wyomings very popular Superintendent of Public Instruction, Megan has dedicated her life to serving her Community. If she is your next Governor, Megan will work tirelessly to Champion Wyoming Values, Promote our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Support our Brave Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Should she decide to enter this Race, MAGA Megan Degenfelder has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, MEGAN, RUN!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately presents Megan Degenfelder as a sixth-generation Wyomingite and the current Superintendent of Public Instruction. Her consideration of a gubernatorial run is well-documented, and Donald Trump’s endorsement statement is authentic. Vote results confirming Trump’s big victories in Wyoming in 2016, 2020, and 2024 are correct. Policy stances in the post are consistent with Degenfelder’s record and…
“Our Country would be Venezuela on steroids if it werent for President Donald J. Trump!The strongest Economic Growth since 1990! — Mark Penn” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media post claims the U.S. would be “Venezuela on steroids” without President Trump and attributes “The strongest Economic Growth since 1990” to Mark Penn. Both assertions are either strongly misleading or outright false. Mark Penn did not make this specific growth claim; historical data disproves the claim that current growth exceeds that of the 1990s. The…
“Art Laffer and Stephen Moore have written an incredible Book, The Trump Economic Miracle: And the Plan to Unleash Prosperity Again. In just under one year, thanks to our use of Tariffs, our Nations National and Economic Security is stronger than ever before. Trillions of Dollars of Investment (and Jobs!) are pouring into our Country, our Trade Deficit is reaching Record Lows, our Nations GDP is skyrocketing past 5%, and were just getting started. Art and Stephen understand the America First Policies required to save our Nation from ruin, and make it greater, richer, and stronger than ever before. Get your copy of this GREAT Book today. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post exaggerates the economic achievements attributed to tariffs and recent economic policy, including claims about investments, trade deficits, and GDP growth. Authoritative data shows the U.S. trade deficit is not at record lows, actual inward investment is significantly lower than stated, and GDP growth, while strong, did not exceed 5 percent. Tariffs have produced mixed outcomes, increasing…
“Today, the United States of America, in coordination with the Interim Authorities of Venezuela, seized an oil tanker which departed Venezuela without our approval. This tanker is now on its way back to Venezuela, and the oil will be sold through the GREAT Energy Deal, which we have created for such sales. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post correctly states that the United States, in conjunction with Venezuelan Interim Authorities, seized a Venezuelan oil tanker that had departed without U.S. approval. The existence of a U.S.-Venezuela energy deal (“GREAT Energy Deal”) is also accurate. However, there is no evidence that the tanker or its oil is being returned to Venezuela; rather, official sources confirm…
