“I just granted $260,000 to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe for public assistance. These incredible people are tough, smart, and will build their community stronger than ever before!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately reflects President Trump’s public statement that $260,000 was granted to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe for public assistance.

However, official FEMA documentation does not specify a […]

“I just finished speaking with Governor Jim Pillen, of the Great State of Nebraska, and told him that I have approved $15 Million Dollars for the recovery efforts from the major storms they experienced. Nebraska is a special place, and it is my Honor to support the incredible people of The Cornhusker State!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The core claims in President Trump’s Truth Social post regarding the approval of $15 million in federal disaster relief for Nebraska are factually correct. Trump did approve this amount following major storms in August 2025, communicated directly with Governor Jim Pillen, and referenced Nebraska appropriately as “the Cornhusker State.” Official government records, news

“I just spoke with Governor Mike Kehoe, of the Great State of Missouri, and told him that I am approving $2.5 Million Dollars in individual assistance after severe storms, high winds, large hail, flash flooding, and tornadoes, which occurred earlier this year. I won The Show Me State three times in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and it is my Honor to deliver for these incredible Patriots!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post claims that Donald Trump approved $25 million in individual assistance for Missouri following severe storms in 2025. In reality, multiple credible sources confirm the approved amount was $2.5 million, not $25 million. The post accurately states Trump won Missouri in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and correctly describes the types

“For all of those people voting in New Jersey and Virginia for Governor, Attorney General, or any other position, please remember this: A REPUBLICAN VOTE MEANS A DRASTIC DROP IN ENERGY PRICES AND ENERGY COSTS, A DROP LIKE YOUVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! — A DEMOCRAT VOTE MEANS A DOUBLING, AND EVEN TRIPLING, OF YOUR ENERGY BILLS AND PRICES, TRADITIONALLY THE HIGHEST COST OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! So, if you vote Republican, your Energy Costs are going to go down, tremendously! If you vote Democrat, your Energy Costs are going to go through the roof, making Energy virtually unaffordable for you and your family to pay. Also, remember, that if you dont go to the Polls and VOTE, its the same thing as voting for a Democrat. SO, GO TO THE POLLS AND CUT YOUR ENERGY COSTS IN HALF!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post’s claims that voting Republican will drastically reduce energy prices and that Democratic votes will double or triple bills are not supported by recent empirical evidence or economic data. Electricity costs have increased during the current Republican administration, not declined. Assertions about Democrats making energy unaffordable are extreme and not grounded in

“Mary Barra of General Motors, and Bill Ford of Ford Motor Company, just called to thank me for putting Tariffs on Mid Size and Large Size Trucks. Their Stock has gone through the roof! They told me that, without Tariffs, it would be a very hard, long slog for Truck and Car Manufacturers in the United States. I told them, its very simple, this is a National Security matter. With the Tariffs, we have a strong and powerful Economy and Country. Without them, we have the exact opposite!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s claim that Mary Barra (GM) and Bill Ford (Ford) personally called to thank him for truck tariffs is unverified; Ford declined to confirm the call, and there is no public evidence either call occurred as described. Both GM and Ford have expressed public support for truck tariffs in official statements, and

“In addition to everything else, Tariffs on other Countries SAVED our Cattle Ranchers!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s statement that tariffs on other countries “saved our cattle ranchers” contains factual elements—he did impose tariffs on beef imports, particularly on Brazilian beef. However, agricultural economists, market data, and U.S. cattle industry organizations overwhelmingly agree that the primary driver of improved profits for ranchers is historically low cattle supply due to

“The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, dont understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it werent for me, they would be doing just as theyve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s statement that cattle ranchers are thriving exclusively due to his tariffs, notably a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, contains a mixture of truths and significant exaggerations. While a 50% tariff on Brazil was indeed imposed and ranchers are currently profitable, economic analysis concludes that the primary reason for high cattle prices

“Im pleased to announce Mark Savaya will serve as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq. Marks deep understanding of the Iraq-U.S. relationship, and his connections in the region, will help advance the interests of the American people. Mark was a key player in my campaign in Michigan, where he, and others, helped secure a record vote with Muslim Americans. Congratulations, Mark!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary There is no credible evidence that Mark Savaya has been appointed as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq, nor that he holds any formal role in U.S. diplomacy or foreign policy. Public records confirm his identity as a Michigan-based businessman with roots in the cannabis industry. While he has Iraqi heritage, no

“Everybody: I am interviewed by the great Maria Bartiromo, RIGHT NOW, on FoxNews. Enjoy” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post claims Donald Trump is being interviewed “RIGHT NOW” by Maria Bartiromo on “FoxNews.” Evidence unequivocally confirms the interview occurred, but it aired on Fox Business Network, not Fox News Channel. The real-time nature of the post cannot be fully verified without a timestamp, but the interview’s timing aligns with

“It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route. U.S. Intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics. There were four known narcoterrorists on board the vessel. Two of the terrorists were killed. At least 25,000 Americans would die if I allowed this submarine to come ashore. The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea. Thank you for your attention to this matter!DONALD J. TRUMPPRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post accurately reports that a U.S. military strike targeted a vessel in the Caribbean, resulting in two deaths and two survivors who are set to be repatriated to Ecuador and Colombia. However, the characterization of the vessel as a “very large drug-carrying submarine” and the claim that it contained “mostly fentanyl”
