“Whatever happened to Senator Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. Hes a nasty liddle guy, much like Congressman Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First. Its really weird!!!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post makes several claims regarding Senator Rand Paul’s electoral history, his alignment with the Republican Party, and Donald Trump’s own electoral victories in Kentucky. The assertion that Trump “got [Rand Paul] elected twice” is inaccurate regarding Paul’s initial 2010 election, as it occurred before Trump’s rise to political prominence. Trump did encourage support for Paul in later…
“George Santos was somewhat of a rogue, but there are many rogues throughout our Country that arent forced to serve seven years in prison. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard Da Nang Dick Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, Da Nang stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was a Great Hero, he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that George Santos was sentenced to over seven years in federal prison and that President Trump commuted his sentence on October 17, 2025, leading to Santos’s immediate release. It is also true that Santos was held in solitary confinement for a period while incarcerated, with reports of hardship—but allegations of “horrible mistreatment” are based…
“A Blue Slip means that if youre a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, Blue Slips are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and thats not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post makes several misleading or inaccurate claims about the Senate blue slip process for federal judicial and U.S. Attorney appointments. The blue slip is a procedural courtesy, not a constitutional requirement or absolute veto. How it’s applied depends on the Senate Judiciary Committee chair’s policy, and both parties have used blue slips to block nominees. The specific…
“My wonderful granddaughter just launched a new Series on YouTube, 1 on 1 with Kai. For her inaugural episode, we filmed our Golf Match at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C. She has incredible golfing talent, and a bright future. Enjoy!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s TruthSocial post accurately reports that his granddaughter Kai Trump launched a new YouTube series called “1 on 1 with Kai,” with the inaugural episode featuring a golf match at Trump National Golf Club Washington DC. Multiple credible sources, including direct video evidence, news reports, and biographical data, confirm these claims. Statements about Kai’s golfing talent are…
“I have eight GREAT U.S. Attorneys, Highly Respected ALL, who will not be confirmed for their positions in various Highly Consequential States only because theyre Republicans, and the Democrats have convinced Chuck Grassley to honor the stupid and outdated Blue Slip tradition, which precludes very talented and dedicated people from attaining High Office. The Democrats violate this practice in order to get people in, but Republicans just dont. These GREAT peoples careers have been badly hurt by the Radical Left Democrats, using an old and ridiculous custom strictly to their advantage. What a shame!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post misrepresents the history and application of the Senate blue slip tradition. While blue slips have recently contributed to the hold-up of some U.S. Attorney nominees, the practice is a longstanding, bipartisan Senate courtesy used frequently by both parties. Senator Grassley has consistently defended the principle on his own accord, not due to Democratic persuasion. Democrats and…
