“It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future. I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL. Building leading edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” @realDonaldTrump

“I am pleased to announce that the Radical Left Representatives working at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) have now admitted how incredible my Tariff strategy has been, saying that, Trumps Tariffs reduce the deficit by $4 Trillion Dollars. When I began my Tariff policy suggestions, they refused to acknowledge the potential SUCCESS that would be derived. Deficits are DOWN, Taxes are DOWN, Energy is DOWN, Prices generally are DOWN, the only things that are UP are, Take Home Pay, the Stock Market, and our Country, which is the HOTTEST anywhere in the World. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump

“Washington, D.C. is SAFE AGAIN! The crowds are coming back, the spirit is high, and our D.C. National Guard and Police are doing a fantastic job. They are out in force, and are NOT PLAYING GAMES!!! As bad as it sounds to say, there were no murders this week for the first time in memory. Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will happen, including a complete and total Federal takeover of the City! Washington D.C. will soon be great again!!!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post mixes factual information about a recent murder-free week in Washington D.C. with exaggeration and politicized claims. It is true that, according to official sources, the city experienced a week without homicides, which is notable but not unprecedented. Claims that D.C. is “safe again” are highly subjective, as crime rates remain elevated

“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.

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.
