“Big win today against the totally corrupt and incompetent New York State Attorney General, Leticia James, and her equally incompetent, hand picked, New York State Judge. The 5 to 0 Verdict from the Appellate Division helps greatly to save the status and reputation of the New York Judicial System. Leticia James is a criminal who should be forced to resign!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post’s claim that there was a “5 to 0 Verdict” in Donald Trump’s favor regarding the New York civil fraud case is misleading. While the five-judge appellate panel did agree to eliminate the large financial penalty against Trump, they were deeply divided on the rationale and other aspects of the case. The […]

“U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi: There has not been a homicide in a week because of the presence of law enforcement. The President being out there today was an incredible inspiration to all of those men and women… they were so happy to see the President!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Pam Bondi’s claim that there were no homicides in Washington, D.C. for a week following an increase in law enforcement presence is factually accurate based on reports from multiple news sources and official police data. However, attributing this outcome directly and solely to the surge in law enforcement is not substantiated by available

“MAKE WASHINGTON, D.C. GREAT AGAIN!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The phrase “MAKE WASHINGTON DC GREAT AGAIN” is a clear adaptation of Donald Trump’s well-known MAGA slogan, specifically targeting Washington DC. The message is consistent with Trump’s documented communication patterns and highly publicized policy actions regarding federal intervention in the capital. Throughout 2024 and 2025, Trump has repeatedly promised and enacted measures to

“You people are winners, and I just think its such an honor to be with you—Were going to Make Washington, D.C. Great Again!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The alleged Truth Social post claiming President Donald Trump wrote, “You people are winners and I just think it’s such an honor to be with youWere going to Make Washington DC Great Again,” does not match the documented record of Trump’s communication style or substance during August 2025. His verified posts are focused

“Dustin Burrows is a True Warrior for Republicans, and is doing a fantastic job as Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post praises Dustin Burrows as a key Republican leader and attributes significant legislative and political victories in Texas to his leadership as Speaker of the Texas House. Central claims—including Burrows’ actual position as Speaker, the passage of a new congressional map anticipated to benefit Republicans, and successful movement on GOP policy priorities—are

“TOTAL VICTORY in the FAKE New York State Attorney General Letitia James Case! I greatly respect the fact that the Court had the Courage to throw out this unlawful and disgraceful Decision that was hurting Business all throughout New York State. Others were afraid to do business there. The amount, including Interest and Penalties, was over $550 Million Dollars. It was a Political Witch Hunt, in a business sense, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. This was a Case of Election Interference by the City and State trying to show, illegally, that I did things that were wrong when, in fact, everything I did was absolutely CORRECT and, even, PERFECT. Every single Dollar was thrown out, even the penalties imposed on us by the Corrupt Judge, one of the most overturned in History, Arthur Engoron. I wasnt given a Jury and, during the course of the Trial, which lasted a long time, was not given one Ruling in my favor by this Political Hack, but worse than him, if thats possible, was Letitia James, a Corrupt and Incompetent Attorney General who only brought this Case in order to hurt me politically. She is a Trump Deranged Lunatic! They made me bond the outrageous sum, which never happened before, and which cost me Millions of Dollars a month. It should have never been allowed to happen, and everyone knew it! Importantly, the Vote was 5 to 0. I am so honored by Justice David Friedmans great words of wisdom, which should be read by everyone. I would also like to thank the Court for having the Courage to make this Decision, which is already going down as one of the worst business persecutions in the History of our Country. Sadly, there are other Cases against me that are equally disgraceful, including those headed up by Corrupt Judges, like Juan Merchan, whose daughter collected Millions of Dollars in Fees from Crooked Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, while her father shockingly REFUSED TO RECUSE himself from a vicious and corrupt trial, which is also under Appeal, one in which every Legal Pundit in New York said, THERE WAS NO CASE! — Even Editorial Boards said, DO NOT DO THIS! Judge Merchan gave me an unprecedented Gag Order, not letting me talk about him or his daughter, or the fact that the Appellate Judges thought he should not be doing the Case, but he did it anyway. Many Lawyers said that his daughter and him created the Greatest Conflict of Interest they had ever seen. Judge Lewis Kaplan, the other remaining Case, whose wife, family, and friends attended his two trials, is as mean and nasty as anyone I have ever met. That Case, also on Appeal, should also never have been brought, and he should be admonished for Abuse, and every other thing that can be thrown at a Corrupt Judge. He loved the publicity, and would not let us present the irrefutable evidence that we wanted to present. This Clinton appointed Judge should not be allowed to get away with this SCAM….” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The core claim that a New York appeals court threw out the civil fraud penalty against Donald Trump is accurate. The penalty, which with interest and related penalties exceeded $550 million, was dismissed. The statement about complete dismissal of penalties is true. The post exaggerates by asserting a unanimous (5-0) vote, though the

“….These were all Political Trials in an effort to destroy my viability as a Presidential Candidate before, during, and after the Election. They were strongly coordinated with the Biden/Harris Campaign, and will go down in History as among the most Corrupt Cases ever brought. These two Cases are even more ridiculous than the Corrupt Letitia James Case, and will be found out to be so in the very near future. All of these Judges should be ashamed of themselves for allowing them to happen. They are Political Hacks who did everything possible to hurt me as a Candidate. This was an attack by the Biden/Harris Administration on their Political Opponent, ME. It is such an Honor to have withstood it, thrived, and even become President of the United States despite the horrible things that were done to me. Id like to thank and congratulate my son Eric Trump, and all of the many people in the Trump Organization, that fought so strongly for Justice. My Legal Team refused to give up against heavy odds. This is a Great Day for New York City and State! ” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post categorizes multiple legal actions against Donald Trump as politically motivated, specifically as coordinated attacks by the Biden-Harris administration and Democratic officials. Evidence counters these claims: State cases, such as the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud lawsuit, originated independently and predate Biden’s tenure. White House meetings cited as proof of coordination

“It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. Its like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia. Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND. How did that work out? Regardless, this is a war that would have NEVER happened if I were President – ZERO CHANCE. Interesting times ahead!!! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post claims the Biden administration would not allow Ukraine to attack Russia, instead restricting it to defensive actions; that Ukraine must attack deep into Russia to win; and that the war would never have begun if Trump were president. Evidence shows the Biden administration did restrict U.S. weapons from striking inside Russia
