Fact-Check Summary The post claims that the United States underwent a transition from democracy to authoritarianism and fascism in 2025, citing armed federal deployments, breakdown of institutional checks, purges of public officials, preferential treatment for loyalists, media censorship, and suppression of dissent.

“THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR…” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social posts referring to “THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR” are factually grounded in President Trump’s September 5, 2025 executive order, which designates “Department of War” as a secondary title for the Department of Defense.

Such content is representative of partisan rhetoric typical on platforms like Truth Social, which are known for facilitating echo chambers and amplifying divisive narratives. The…
“In addition to my previously posted TRUTH concerning Google, please let this Statement serve to represent that Google has also paid, in the past, $13 Billion Dollars in false claims and charges for a total of $16.5 Billion Dollars. How crazy is that? The European Union must stop this practice against American Companies, IMMEDIATELY!” @realDonaldTrump
