“The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately represents a statement made by President Donald Trump on Truth Social in early August 2025, calling for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s resignation based on alleged conflicts of interest. There is substantive factual context backing these claims: Tan’s significant venture capital involvement with over 600 Chinese companies—including some with military connections—and past legal troubles at Cadence…
“Now that the nuclear arsenal being created by Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, it is very important to me that all Middle Eastern Countries join the Abraham Accords. This will insure PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that Iran’s nuclear arsenal has been “totally OBLITERATED” is not supported by intelligence assessments. While U.S. strikes in June 2025 inflicted significant damage on several Iranian nuclear sites, the program was set back by months to, at most, two years—not eliminated. Iran retains enriched uranium stockpiles, and some facilities remain intact or operational. The push to…
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s Truth Social announcement that he has instructed the Department of Commerce to prepare a new census—excluding people in the country illegally—is factually grounded in official statements, executive actions, and continued policy efforts. He rescinded prior Biden-era orders requiring all residents to be counted and has aligned with ongoing legislative and administrative pushes for a citizen-only census.…
“ITS MIDNIGHT!!! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TARIFFS ARE NOW FLOWING INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that “billions of dollars in tariffs are now flowing into the United States of America” at midnight is inaccurate. While the U.S. had been collecting billions in tariff revenues in 2025, the specific implication that new tariffs started at midnight is false. The Trump administration delayed the start of new tariffs from August 1st to August…
“RECIPROCAL TARIFFS TAKE EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, LARGELY FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR MANY YEARS, LAUGHING ALL THE WAY, WILL START FLOWING INTO THE USA. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP AMERICAS GREATNESS WOULD BE A RADICAL LEFT COURT THAT WANTS TO SEE OUR COUNTRY FAIL!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Trump’s Truth Social post claims that reciprocal tariffs will take effect at midnight, will generate billions of dollars for the United States from countries that have exploited it, and contends that only a “radical left court” could stop America’s greatness. The implementation date for the tariffs is substantially correct—multiple sources corroborate that the tariffs take effect at midnight…
