“While the United States has other methods of charging TARIFFS against foreign countries, many of whom have, for YEARS, TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OUR NATION, the current method of Tariffing before the United States Supreme Court is far more DIRECT, LESS CUMBERSOME, and MUCH FASTER, all ingredients necessary for A STRONG AND DECISIVE NATIONAL SECURITY RESULT. SPEED, POWER, AND CERTAINTY ARE, AT ALL TIMES, IMPORTANT FACTORS IN GETTING THE JOB DONE IN A LASTING AND VICTORIOUS MANNER. I have settled 8 Wars in 10 months because of the rights clearly given to the President of the United States. If countries didnt think these rights existed, they would have said so, LOUD AND CLEAR! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s Truth Social post contains three principal claims: (1) the president holds clear authority to impose tariffs as currently before the Supreme Court, (2) the current tariff method is more direct and faster, and (3) he has “settled 8 Wars in 10 months.” Court rulings in 2025 have determined that the cited tariff authorities exceed what Congress…
“It was the Obama DOJ (of course!) that viciously went after the great Roger Clemens. ROGER WAS FULLY ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post claims the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) “viciously went after” Roger Clemens and that he was “fully acquitted of all charges.” While Clemens was indeed acquitted in 2012, the investigation and prosecution began under the Bush administration and continued into the Obama administration. The statement oversimplifies the timeline and misattributes the origin of the prosecution while…
“Roger Clemens, who won 354 games, went through his own Witch Hunt. HE WAS ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES!!! If he doesnt get into the Hall of Fame, he should sue the hell out of Major League Baseball! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that Roger Clemens won 354 games and that he was acquitted of all charges during his federal trial concerning perjury and obstruction of Congress. However, it introduces significant subjective framing by describing the process as a “witch hunt” and conflates this acquittal with entitlement to Hall of Fame induction. Legal action against Major League…
“Roger Clemens, who won 354 games, went through his own Witch Hunt. HE WAS AQUITED OF ALL CHARGES!!! If he doesnt get into the Hall of Fame, he should sue the hell out of Major League Baseball! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Roger Clemens did, in fact, win 354 Major League Baseball games, placing him among the all-time leaders. He was federally charged with perjury and obstruction related to his denial of using performance-enhancing drugs, but was acquitted of all charges in 2012 after a lengthy trial and jury deliberation. The post’s use of the term “witch hunt” is a…
“RT @realDonaldTrumpCan you imagine??? The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years, which I predicted these Radical Left Lunatics would do – And they never stopped wanting to fulfill this evil quest! The Dems mercilessly went after Henry with everything they had! They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters, and anyone close to them. When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY! He was against illegals pouring into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. The Congressman didnt want gang members, drug dealers, violent prisoners, people from mental institutions and yes, even murderers, in the good ol USA. It was all very unfair what they were doing to him and his family, so much so that his daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents (Just posted on TRUTH!). After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughters loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people – They were treated sooo BADLY! I signed the papers, and said to people in the Oval Office that I just did a very good, perhaps life saving, thing. God was very happy with me that day! THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be running for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison – And probably still do! Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henrys daughters, will not like. Oh well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post about pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar contains multiple factual issues and demonstrable inaccuracies. His key claim that he never spoke to Cuellar’s daughters prior to the pardon is directly contradicted by evidence in the daughters’ own letter, which Trump himself cited. Additionally, while some statements, such as Cuellar running again as a Democrat, are true, several…
