“To all of my great lawyers who have fought so hard to save our Country, good luck in Americas big case today. If our Country was not able to protect itself by using TARIFFS AGAINST TARIFFS, WE WOULD BE DEAD, WITH NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL OR SUCCESS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post in question accurately reflects statements made by former President Donald Trump. On July 31, 2025, Trump used his Truth Social platform to champion tariffs as vital to American survival, coinciding with the announcement of new tariffs on Indian goods. His claim that America would be “dead with no chance of survival or success” without tariffs is…
“Tariffs are making America GREAT & RICH Again. They were successfully used against the USA for decades and, coupled with really dumb, pathetic, and crooked politicians, were having a devastating impact on the future, and even the survival, of our country. Now the tide has completely turned, and America has successfully countered this onslaught of Tariffs used against it. ONE YEAR AGO, AMERICA WAS A DEAD COUNTRY, NOW IT IS THE HOTTESTCOUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media claim that tariffs have made America “great” and “the hottest country anywhere in the world” is not supported by economic evidence. While certain sectors, like capital goods exports and parts of agriculture, experienced temporary gains, overall indicators such as GDP growth, employment, and trade balances show mixed or negative results. Independent analyses found that tariffs…
“OAN is making a huge comeback, with millions of new viewers. Congratulations to OAN and all of those who worked so hard to get you there!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that “OAN is making a huge comeback with millions of new viewers” is not supported by verifiable evidence. While One America News Network (OAN) has made recent strides, such as a new carriage deal with Spectrum and some growth in digital engagement, actual television viewership remains low. OAN does not appear in 2025’s widely published cable…
“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh Canada!!!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s TruthSocial post is correctly attributed to him and accurately reports that Canada has announced its intention to recognize Palestinian statehood, contingent on significant reforms from the Palestinian Authority and explicit exclusion of Hamas from governance. Trump’s claim that this move will complicate U.S.-Canada trade negotiations aligns with his public threats of imposing tariffs if a new…
“I dont care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Lets keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks hes still President, to watch his words. Hes entering very dangerous territory!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post makes several sweeping assertions about U.S.-India and U.S.-Russia trade, Indian tariffs, and Dmitry Medvedev’s current status. The claim that the U.S. does “very little business with India” is contradicted by official data showing $131.84 billion in annual trade. While it is true India’s average tariff rate is higher than that of the U.S., the United…
