“BREAKING NEWS: Numbers released today show that the United States of America has the lowest Trade Deficit since 2009, and going even lower. In addition, our Nations Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is predicted to come in at over 5%, and that is after losing at least 1.5% to the Democrat Shutdown. These incredible numbers, and the unprecedented SUCCESS of our Country, are a direct result of TARIFFS, which have rescued our Economy and National Security. I hope the Supreme Court is aware of these Historic, Country saving achievements prior to the issuance of their most important (ever!) Decision. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post claims that the U.S. has the lowest trade deficit since 2009, that GDP is predicted to exceed 5%, attributes these results to tariffs, and frames these developments as historic successes. While the monthly trade deficit statistic and the referenced GDPNow estimate are accurate in the narrow sense, the post omits […]

“Biden ignored the Housing Market, and instead was immersed with High Crime, Open Borders, runaway INFLATION, the Afghanistan Disaster, and a Military that he left in Chaos and Confusion. Everything was broken, but I, as President of the United States, have already fixed it! Now, I am giving special attention to the Housing Market. Because I chose not to sell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in my First Term, a truly great decision, and against the advice of the experts, it is now worth many times that amount — AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE — and has $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN CASH. Because of this, I am instructing my Representatives to BUY $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN MORTGAGE BONDS. This will drive Mortgage Rates DOWN, monthly payments DOWN, and make the cost of owning a home more affordable. It is one of my many steps in restoring Affordability, something that the Biden Administration absolutely destroyed. We are bringing back the AMERICAN DREAM that was destroyed by the last Administration. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post inaccurately portrays the Biden administration as entirely neglecting housing policy, ignoring documented engagement in expanding homeownership and rental assistance. It exaggerates the negative impact of Biden’s tenure on housing affordability by oversimplifying complex causes rooted in pre-existing market forces and broader economic trends. The claim about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

“I just finished a great meeting with the very successful Intel CEO, Lip-Bu Tan. Intel just launched the first SUB 2 NANOMETER CPU PROCESSOR designed, built, and packaged right here in the U.S.A. The United States Government is proud to be a Shareholder of Intel, and has already made, through its U.S.A. ownership position, Tens of Billions of Dollars for the American People — IN JUST FOUR MONTHS. We made a GREAT Deal, and so did Intel. Our Country is determined to bring leading edge Chip Manufacturing back to America, and that is exactly what is happening!!!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately reflects Intel’s achievement in developing and manufacturing the first sub-2 nanometer CPU node in the U.S. and correctly describes the federal government’s new equity stake in Intel. However, it misleads by overstating the extent of American-sourced manufacturing, since key processor components are made by TSMC abroad. The claim of “tens

“Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the Presidents Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their stupidity, the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject.” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post from former President Trump accurately lists the Republican senators who joined Democrats in the January 8, 2026, vote to advance a War Powers Resolution concerning U.S. military actions in Venezuela. However, the post exaggerates and misrepresents the effect of the Senate action and the constitutionality of the War Powers

Fact-Check Summary Nicole Parker’s statement—”When a vehicle is coming at you and is being used as a weapon, deadly force is justified”—accurately captures a general legal concept relevant to police use of force. However, it lacks vital context that governs its real-world application: established law and modern law enforcement policy require that deadly force against

“I have just been informed that Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products, with the money they receive from our new Oil Deal. These purchases will include, among other things, American Agricultural Products, and American Made Medicines, Medical Devices, and Equipment to improve Venezuelas Electric Grid and Energy Facilities. In other words, Venezuela is committing to doing business with the United States of America as their principal partner – A wise choice, and a very good thing for the people of Venezuela, and the United States.

“After long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives, I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars. This will allow us to build the Dream Military that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe. If it werent for the tremendous numbers being produced by Tariffs from other Countries, many of which, in the past, have ripped off the United States at levels never seen before, I would stay at the $1 Trillion Dollar number but, because of Tariffs, and the tremendous Income that they bring, amounts being generated, that would have been unthinkable in the past (especially just one year ago during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, the Worst President in the History of our Country!), we are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number while, at the same time, producing an unparalleled Military Force, and having the ability to, at the same time, pay down Debt, and likewise, pay a substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country!

Fact-Check Summary President Trump did propose a $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027, which is factually accurate as a stated policy goal. However, his post exaggerates the capabilities of tariff revenue, claiming it will fund this military expansion, reduce national debt, and provide dividends to Americans. In reality, actual tariff collections—approximately $195 billion annually—fall far

“I have been informed by the Department of War that Defense Contractor, Raytheon, has been the least responsive to the needs of the Department of War, the slowest in increasing their volume, and the most aggressive spending on their Shareholders rather than the needs and demands of the United States Military. Raytheon seems to think this is the Biden Administration, and this is business as usual, ITS NOT! Either Raytheon steps up, and starts investing in more upfront Investment like Plants and Equipment, or they will no longer be doing business with Department of War. Also, if Raytheon wants further business with the United States Government, under no circumstances will they be allowed to do any additional Stock Buybacks, where they have spent Tens of Billions of Dollars, until they are able to get their act together. Our Country comes FIRST, and theyre going to have to learn that, the hard way! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s January 2026 post criticizing Raytheon (RTX) for prioritizing stock buybacks and shareholder interests over boosting military production is largely accurate in its core financial claims. Raytheon and other major defense contractors have indeed spent tens of billions on buybacks and dividends over several years, with substantial portions funded by taxpayer dollars.
