“JUST OUT: Great (LOW!) Inflation numbers for the USA. That means that Jerome Too Late Powell should cut interest rates, MEANINGFULLY!!! If he doesnt he will just continue to be, TOO LATE! ALSO OUT, GREAT GROWTH NUMBERS. Thank you MISTER TARIFF! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post presents partial truths, considerable context omissions, and misleading causal attributions. While current inflation and economic growth numbers are factually accurate, describing inflation as “low” is misleading due to its persistence above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target for over four years. The post’s praise for “great growth numbers” is accurate in terms […]

“Do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention. All the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most in foreign Countries who illegally entered the USA though Sleepy Joe Bidens HORRIBLE Open Borders Policy. Every place we go, crime comes down. In Chicago, despite a weak and incompetent Governor and Mayor fighting us all the way, a big improvement was made. Thousands of Criminals were removed! Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stolen by really bad and deranged people. FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post contains numerous inaccurate and misleading claims about immigrants, crime rates, and law enforcement in Minnesota. Credible government data shows the vast majority of individuals detained by ICE have no criminal convictions, contradicting depictions of detainees as violent criminals. Claims that crime drops due to federal enforcement overlook broader national crime declines

Fact-Check Summary The post presents multiple sweeping and inflammatory assertions about crime and immigration in Minnesota. A rigorous analysis of ICE detention data, official reports, legal filings, and investigative journalism demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of ICE arrests in Minnesota and the Midwest do not involve violent criminals or recently escaped prisoners. There is no

“Patel fired corrupt FBI agents in anti-Trump Arctic Frost inquiry who weaponized law enforcement:” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The claim that Patel “fired corrupt FBI agents in anti-Trump Arctic Frost inquiry who weaponized law enforcement” is partially factual. Patel did terminate FBI agents and disband a unit tied to Arctic Frost. However, public evidence does not establish that the agents were corrupt, nor is there definitive proof the investigation was “weaponized”

“Under Sleepy Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats, the average American Households monthly Utility bills went up MASSIVELY — over 30%! I never want Americans to pay higher Electricity bills because of Data Centers. Therefore, my Administration is working with major American Technology Companies to secure their commitment to the American People, and we will have much to announce in the coming weeks. First up is Microsoft, who my team has been working with, and which will make major changes beginning this week to ensure that Americans dont pick up the tab for their POWER consumption, in the form of paying higher Utility bills. We are the HOTTEST Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must pay their own way. Thank you, and congratulations to Microsoft. More to come soon! President DJT” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post claims that average U.S. household utility bills increased by over 30% under President Biden, that data centers risk shifting power costs onto residential ratepayers, and asserts a new effort with Microsoft to prevent Americans from paying for tech company electricity consumption. The 30% figure is broadly accurate for the 2021-2024 period,

“Congestion Pricing in Manhattan is a DISASTER for New York. Its got to be ended, IMMEDIATELY! Its never worked before, and it will never work now. I love New York, and hate to see it being destroyed so rapidly with such obviously foolish policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post characterizing Manhattan’s congestion pricing as a “disaster” and claiming it “has never worked before and it will never work now” is not supported by the available evidence. Data from the program’s first year and international precedents show clear reductions in congestion, improvements in air quality and safety, and economic growth

This Order is final and conclusive. Thank you for your attention to this matter!PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s TruthSocial post announcing a new 25% tariff on any country doing business with Iran is verified as authentic and factually accurate in terms of what was publicly announced on January 12, 2026. Multiple reputable sources confirm both the content and wording of the post, as well as the policy intention. However,

“These FBI Agents are total Scum, in their own way no better than the insurrectionists in Portland, Minnesota, Los Angeles, etc. Kash better get them out, NOW! Radical Left Lunatics put in by the Auto Pen and Obama!President DJT” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post levels harsh accusations against FBI agents, referring to them as “scum” and drawing false equivalence between their actions and those of insurrectionists or rioters in multiple U.S. cities. While it is correct that Director Kash Patel has initiated significant personnel changes at the FBI since 2025, the post exaggerates and distorts

“The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and that doesnt include the amount of payback that Countries and Companies would require for the Investments they are making on building Plants, Factories, and Equipment, for the purpose of being able to avoid the payment of Tariffs. When these Investments are added, we are talking about Trillions of Dollars! It would be a complete mess, and almost impossible for our Country to pay. Anybody who says that it can be quickly and easily done would be making a false, inaccurate, or totally misunderstood answer to this very large and complex question. It may not be possible but, if it were, it would be Dollars that would be so large that it would take many years to figure out what number we are talking about and even, who, when, and where, to pay. Remember, when America shines brightly, the World shines brightly. In other words, if the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WERE SCREWED!PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s statement on potential Supreme Court-mandated tariff refunds contains elements of fact mixed with substantial exaggeration and some unsupported speculation. It is true that a Supreme Court ruling against the tariffs would require substantial refunds, likely in the $130-150 billion range, and that the process would be administratively complex. However, the claim
