“Our great West Point (getting greater all the time!) has smartly cancelled the Award Ceremony for actor Tom Hanks. Important move! We dont need destructive, WOKE recipients getting our cherished American Awards!!! Hopefully the Academy Awards, and other Fake Award Shows, will review their Standards and Practices in the name of Fairness and Justice. Watch their DEAD RATINGS SURGE!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The core event referenced—West Point’s Association of Graduates canceling an award ceremony for Tom Hanks—is true and well-documented. However, there is no credible evidence that Donald Trump personally posted the statement attributed to him on TruthSocial.

“THE BIDEN AUTOPEN SCANDAL IS BIG, NOT AS BIG AS THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX, OR THE RIGGED 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, BUT, NEVERTHELESS, ONE OF THE BIGGEST, EVER!!!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post makes sweeping claims about the so-called “Biden autopen scandal” and compares it to both the “Russia hoax” and the “rigged 2020 election”. Autopen use is a well-established, lawful presidential practice with precedent dating back centuries; there is no substantiated evidence of scandal in Biden’s usage. The Russia investigation was based on

“Everyone wants the Hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end! The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter.DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that Donald Trump is currently the President of the United States and reflects his administration’s active involvement in high-level negotiations with Hamas regarding hostages in Gaza. The statement that “the Israelis have accepted my Terms” is overstated: while Israel is taking Trump’s proposal seriously, evidence does not confirm full

“Amazing phenomenon — Any Country that relies on Windmills is DEAD. Their Energy Costs have gone through the roof, and their populations are angry. Windmills arent only killing the birds, theyre killing lots of bad politicians who are losing their jobs because of them!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post’s core assertions about wind energy are inaccurate and substantially misleading. Evidence from countries that rely heavily on wind power (Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, UK) shows them to be functioning and economically competitive, contradicting the notion they are “dead.” While some nations have higher electricity costs, these are largely due to taxes,

“The deployment of federal authorities including the National Guard and other agencies in major US cities with the assumption of direct control over local government functionssuch as the DC police departmentrepresents the most pressing challenge to democratic norms This concentration of power in the executive branch undermines local selfgovernance bypasses traditional checks and balances and raises serious concerns about the potential for unchecked authority Such actions erode the foundations of representative democracy threaten due process and set a troubling precedent for the circumvention of established legal and civil rights protections The normalization of these interventions poses a longterm risk to the accountability and decentralization that have historically been core tenets of American democracy”

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately conveys that federal authorities, including the National Guard, have been deployed to major US cities and that the federalization of the D.C. police department did occur in 2025 under President Trump. Multiple credible sources confirm both the unprecedented use of federal power in overriding local law enforcement and widespread legal

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. Multiple aspects of this description are grounded in well-documented 2025 developments, including deployment

“The Democrats have gone CRAZY.” @realDonaldTrump

It offers no supporting evidence or specifics, making it impossible to fact-check in the traditional sense. Such content is representative of partisan rhetoric typical on platforms like Truth Social, which are known for facilitating echo chambers
