The use of the “Disney” metaphor originates primarily from commentary and analysis by…
“As the President of the United States, I will stand up to Countries that attack our incredible American Tech Companies. Digital Taxes, Digital Services Legislation, and Digital Markets Regulations are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology. They also, outrageously, give a complete pass to Chinas largest Tech Companies. This must end, and end NOW! With this TRUTH, I put all Countries with Digital Taxes, Legislation, Rules, or Regulations, on notice that unless these discriminatory actions are removed, I, as President of the United States, will impose substantial additional Tariffs on that Countrys Exports to the U.S.A., and institute Export restrictions on our Highly Protected Technology and Chips. America, and American Technology Companies, are neither the piggy bank nor the doormat of the World any longer. Show respect to America and our amazing Tech Companies or, consider the consequences! Thank you for your attention to this matter.DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post’s central claim—that President Trump will take punitive trade action against countries imposing digital taxes or regulations targeting American tech companies—is generally accurate in terms of stated policy and official memoranda issued in early 2025. Trump has threatened retaliatory tariffs and export restrictions in response to foreign digital services taxation and similar regulation. However, the existence of…

“I PAID ZERO FOR INTEL, IT IS WORTH APPROXIMATELY 11 BILLION DOLLARS. All goes to the USA. Why are stupid people unhappy with that? I will make deals like that for our Country all day long. I will also help those companies that make such lucrative deals with the United States States. I love seeing their stock price go up, making the USA RICHER, AND RICHER. More jobs for America!!! Who would not want to make deals like that?” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post accurately cites the government’s acquisition of equity in Intel valued at approximately $11 billion, achieved by converting previously awarded but unpaid grants into shares, rather than through new spending. However, describing this as having “paid zero” misleads by omitting the significant opportunity cost—the government forwent grant funding that would have otherwise been distributed to Intel.…
