“We have taken in, and will soon be receiving, more than 600 Billion Dollars in Tariffs, but the Fake News Media refuses to talk about it because they hate and disrespect our Country, and want to interfere with the upcoming Tariff decision, one of the most important ever, of the United States Supreme Court. Because of Tariffs, our Country is financially, AND FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY STANDPOINT, FAR STRONGER AND MORE RESPECTED THAN EVER BEFORE. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s claim that the U.S. “has taken in and will soon be receiving more than 600 Billion Dollars in Tariffs” is significantly exaggerated. Official government data shows actual tariff revenue collected as of December 2025 is between $200 billion and $236 billion, far less than the claimed $600 billion. The media has […]

“Democrat lawmaker Wasserman Schultz comes out in support of Trumps operation in Venezuela:” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The claim that Representative Wasserman Schultz “comes out in support of Trump’s operation in Venezuela” is misleading. While she welcomed the capture of Nicolás Maduro and expressed support for Venezuela’s democratic aspirations, she was highly critical of President Trump for bypassing Congress in authorizing the operation. Her statements clearly demand answers regarding congressional

“Obama failed to support Irans freedom protesters two decades ago, but Trump just rectified that:” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The claim that “Obama failed to support Iran’s freedom protesters two decades ago but Trump just rectified that” is only partially accurate. Barack Obama did not publicly back the 2009 Green Movement in Iran, a fact he later admitted as a mistake. However, describing 2009 as “two decades ago” is a minor exaggeration;

“The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country.

President DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s Truth Social post accurately reports that the United States conducted large-scale military strikes against Venezuela on January 3, 2026, targeting military installations and infrastructure. However, the central claim that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country is unverified by any official U.S. source

“Tariffs are an overwhelming benefit to our Nation, as they have been incredible for our National Security and Prosperity (like nobody has ever seen before!). Losing our ability to Tariff other countries who treat us unfairly would be a terrible blow to the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s claim that tariffs have been an “overwhelming benefit” to America, especially for national security and prosperity, is contradicted by available economic and policy evidence from 2025. While tariffs did increase government revenue and reduced the trade deficit in the short term, independent analyses project substantial long-term costs: reductions in GDP, wage

“How beautiful of a building is this?” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The statement “How beautiful of a building is this” expresses a subjective opinion about a building’s appearance. It does not present a verifiable factual claim and therefore cannot be evaluated for truth or falsehood. Beauty is inherently subjective and influenced by personal taste, culture, and context. No objective evidence can confirm or deny
