“SO WELL STATED!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The referenced Truth Social post (httpstruthsocial.com/users/mazurikl/statuses/114939340019378681) cannot be directly accessed or reviewed. Based on the available summary and the prevailing trends of Truth Social, posts that are enthusiastically labeled as “SO WELL STATED” typically mirror the platform’s dominant themes: pro-Trump sentiment, anti-Biden criticism, and support for conservative talking points. The platform is marketed as a “free speech” space…
“Due to a massive earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for those living in Hawaii. A Tsunami Watch is in effect for Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the United States. Japan is also in the way. Please visit for the latest information. STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post accurately reports that a massive earthquake in the Pacific prompted tsunami warnings for Hawaii, watches for Alaska and the U.S. Pacific Coast, and alerts for Japan. It correctly directs the public to official sources for updates. The main error is a slight mislabeling: Alaska was under a tsunami warning, not just a watch. All referenced…
“Our Brave ICE Law Enforcement Agents are getting the WORST of the WORST Criminals out of our Country — Terrorists, pedophiles, MS-13 gang members, murderers, rapists, drug and human traffickers. Theyre getting these SLEAZEBAGS, the SCUM of the Earth that Crooked Joe Biden let in, OUT OF HERE, and getting them out, FAST. We need MORE courageous men and women to, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Join ICE now. We will take GREAT care of you, just like you take care of us!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post claims that ICE is removing “the worst of the worst criminals”—including terrorists, pedophiles, and gang members—from the U.S. under a new recruitment campaign. This assertion partially aligns with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) recent “Defend the Homeland” recruitment efforts, which do spotlight the removal of serious criminal offenders. However, the post exaggerates and oversimplifies…
“Chuck Grassley, who I got re-elected to the U.S. Senate when he was down, by a lot, in the Great State of Iowa, could solve the Blue Slip problem we are having with respect to the appointment of Highly Qualified Judges and U.S. Attorneys, with a mere flick of the pen. Democrats like Schumer, Warner, Kaine, Booker, Schiff, and others, SLEAZEBAGS ALL, have an ironclad stoppage of Great Republican Candidates. Put simply, the President of the United States will never be permitted to appoint the person of his choice because of an ancient, and probably Unconstitutional, CUSTOM, that if you have, even one person in the opposite Party serving in the U.S. Senate, he/she must give consent, thereby completely stopping the opposite Partys Nomination. The only way to beat this Hoax is to appoint a Democrat or, a weak and ineffective Republican. Therefore, I would never be able to appoint Great Judges or U.S. Attorneys in California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, and other places, where there is, coincidentally, the highest level of crime and corruption — The places where fantastic people are most needed! Senator Grassley must step up, like Crooked Joe Biden did, when he openly broke, at least two times, the Blue Slip SCAM, and like others have done over the years, and let our Great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys BE CONFIRMED. He should do this, IMMEDIATELY, and not let the Democrats laugh at him and the Republican Party for being weak and ineffective. The Democrats have broken this ridiculous custom on us, its time that we break it on them. Chuck, I know you have the Courage to do this, DO IT!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post asserts that Senator Chuck Grassley could singlehandedly solve the Blue Slip issue in Senate judicial confirmations and claims Democrats have used Blue Slips to block highly qualified Republican nominees in several high-crime states. However, historical records and recent Senate data show that Republicans have been the main users of the Blue Slip to block Biden administration…
“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE! Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first? Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you dont, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post claims he was not responsible for Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS Late Night and attributes the cancellation to Colbert’s lack of talent and alleged annual financial losses of $50 million. However, ratings data show that Colbert’s show led late-night television for several consecutive years in viewership. CBS did cite financial losses and a challenging late-night…
