“I have had very productive discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer about the Island of Diego Garcia. It is the site of a major U.S. Military Base, strategically situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean and, therefore, of great importance to the National Security of the United States. We have the most powerful Military in the World. Our Military Operations, over the course of the last year, were successful because of the strength of our warfighters, modern capability of our equipment and, very importantly, the strategic location of our Military Bases for staging, and other reasons. I understand that the deal Prime Minister Starmer has made, according to many, the best he could make. However, if the lease deal, sometime in the future, ever falls apart, or anyone threatens or endangers U.S. operations and forces at our Base, I retain the right to Militarily secure and reinforce the American presence in Diego Garcia. Let it be known that I will never allow our presence on a Base as important as this to ever be undermined or threatened by fake claims or environmental nonsense. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Trump’s description of the Island’s importance, the nature of the UK-Mauritius agreement, and recent military operations is well grounded in public record and credible reporting.…
“The Great Country of Japan is having a very important Legislative Election on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The results of this Election are very important to the future of Japan. The Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, has already proven to be a strong, powerful, and wise Leader, and one that truly loves her Country. I look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Takaichi to the White House on March 19th. In my visit to Japan I, and all of my Representatives, were extremely impressed with her. In addition to National Security, the United States and Japan have worked closely together on making a very substantial Trade Deal, one that strongly benefits both Countries. Prime Minister Takaichi is someone who deserves powerful recognition for the job she and her Coalition are doing and, therefore, as President of the United States of America, it is my Honor to give a Complete and Total Endorsement of her, and what her highly respected Coalition is representing. SHE WILL NOT LET THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN DOWN! Good luck on your very important Sunday Vote. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

“Miranda Devine: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson removed any shred of impartiality by applauding anti-ICE speeches at the Grammys:” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s presence at the 68th Grammy Awards is confirmed and well-documented, given her nomination for the Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording category. The event itself was highly politicized, with multiple artists delivering explicit anti-ICE statements during their acceptance speeches and public gestures, such as “ICE OUT” pins, visible. However, despite the certainty of…
“Jim Banks Calls for Passage of SAVE America Act to Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote:” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Senator Jim Banks is accurately identified as the sponsor of the SAVE America Act and has consistently called for its passage. His statements about the bill’s contents—requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and mandating photo ID—are factually correct. Polls cited by Banks, showing broad support for voter ID requirements, are substantiated by reputable sources. However, Banks…
“How Trumps MAHA movement unexpectedly took a bite out of food price inflation:” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that Trump’s MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement has unexpectedly lowered food price inflation contains elements of truth, but is substantially misleading without appropriate context. While food-at-home inflation rates moderated from the extreme peaks of 2020-2023, recent government data shows food prices once again rising sharply in late 2025, undermining any sustained narrative of price relief…
