“We mourn the loss of three Great American Patriots in Syria, two soldiers, and one Civilian Interpreter. Likewise, we pray for the three injured soldiers who, it has just been confirmed, are doing well. This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them. The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack. There will be very serious retaliation. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMPPRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The core facts in this post regarding the attack near Palmyra, Syria, are accurate: two U.S. soldiers and one civilian interpreter died, three others were injured, and ISIS was responsible. The area is not fully controlled by the Syrian government, according to official sources. The statement about “very serious retaliation” aligns with official U.S. threats to retaliate. However,…
“Wow! The great Art (Arthur) Laffer, Ronald Reagans economic whiz, and highly respected by all, said in a speech last night that, Donald Trump is the greatest President in history, bar none. Such an honor coming from a man of such wisdom. Also, he said that, Tariffs are working in a big way. Our Country is rich and admired again!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post misattributes and oversimplifies economist Arthur Laffer’s views on Donald Trump and U.S. tariff policy. Laffer has not explicitly called Trump “the greatest President in history bar none.” While he has at times complimented Trump’s economic negotiation tactics and tax policies, he also repeatedly expressed serious reservations about the impact of continued tariffs. The claim that…

Fact-Check Summary The post exaggerates and misrepresents economist Arthur Laffer’s statements about Donald Trump. While Laffer praised Trump’s pre-pandemic economic record, he did not call him “the greatest President in history bar none” and specifically limited his praise to economic policy, with notable caveats. Additionally, Laffer has been publicly critical of Trump’s tariff policies, repeatedly warning that tariffs are economically…
“Republicans in the Indiana State Senate, who voted against a Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, should be ashamed of themselves. Headed by a total loser named Rod Bray, every one of these people should be primaried, and I will be there to help! Indiana, which I won big, is the only state in the Union to do this!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Trump’s Truth Social post correctly states that more than 20 Republicans in the Indiana State Senate joined Democrats to vote down a mid-cycle redistricting plan designed to favor Republicans for US House seats. Rodric Bray did lead the opposition as Senate President Pro Tem, and Trump did win Indiana decisively in 2024. However, the claim that Indiana is…
“I had a very good conversation this morning with the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, concerning the very unfortunate reawakening of their long-running War. They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim. The roadside bomb that originally killed and wounded numerous Thai Soldiers was an accident, but Thailand nevertheless retaliated very strongly. Both Countries are ready for PEACE and continued Trade with the United States of America. It is my Honor to work with Anutin and Hun in resolving what could have evolved into a major War between two otherwise wonderful and prosperous Countries! I would also like to thank the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, for his assistance in this very important matter.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post about the Thailand-Cambodia border conflict mostly reflects events, such as his communications with both prime ministers and the renewal of a ceasefire agreement. The involvement of Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is supported by credible sources, as is Trump’s mediating role. However, the claim that the renewed hostilities were triggered by an accidental roadside bomb…
