“GREAT Governor Mike Kehoe, of the Wonderful State of Missouri, which I love and won SIX times, including with1.8 Million Votes in 2024 (by far the most Votes in History!), just called a very Special Session to begin passage of a new, much fairer, and much improved, Congressional Map, that will give the incredible people of Missouri the tremendous opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the2026 Midterm Elections — A HUGE VICTORY for our America First Agenda, not just in the Show-Me State, but across our Nation. Remember, I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a landslide, won ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, THE POPULAR VOTE, AND ALL FIFTY STATES SHIFTED REPUBLICAN, a record, and now I have the best polling numbers Ive ever had. Our Party has never been more UNITED, and we are getting so much done for the American People because of it, and, therefore, I call on all of my Republican friends in the Missouri Legislature to work as fast as they can to get this new Congressional Map, AS IS, to Governor Mike Kehoes desk, ASAP. THANK YOU MISSOURI – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary

The post accurately reports that Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe called a special legislative session for congressional redistricting. However, it contains falsehoods about Trump receiving “18 Million Votes in 2024” in Missouri (he received about 1.75 million) and overstates the claim of winning “by far the most Votes in History” for the state. Trump did win all seven swing states and the national popular vote in 2024, but the assertion that “all fifty states shifted Republican” is an oversimplification; while Trump gained ground almost everywhere, most states remained solidly in their historical partisan camps. The post’s framing exaggerates the scope and historic nature of the wins, and mixes factual developments with significant hyperbole.

Belief Alignment Analysis

This post undermines democratic norms by distorting factual vote totals and exaggerating electoral shifts, which could mislead the public and foster division. It uses partisan, triumphalist language that frames developments as sweeping wins and dire victories for one faction, rather than as part of a healthy democratic process. The rhetoric lacks the civility, inclusiveness, and respect for institutional legitimacy that undergird constructive democratic discourse, instead promoting an “us vs. them” narrative that fails to encourage fair and factual engagement.

Opinion

While the call for a new congressional map in Missouri is newsworthy and procedurally legitimate, the post’s factual errors and use of hyperbolic rhetoric degrade the quality of public discussion. Accurate reporting on election results is critical to sustaining trust in democracy. Rolling out exaggerated claims about vote totals and electoral margins risks undermining this trust and should be corrected by public communicators. Democratic health depends on a commitment to fact-based, civil discourse for all Americans.

TLDR

The post contains one key fact (the special session), several gross exaggerations (vote totals, historic scope), and some generally accurate but overstated claims about 2024 election results. It fails to fully respect democratic values of truthfulness and inclusion.

Claim: Trump won Missouri with “18 Million Votes,” all swing states, the popular vote, and every state shifted Republican; Governor Kehoe called a special session for redistricting.

Fact: Governor Kehoe did call a special session for redistricting. Trump won Missouri with 1.75 million votes (not 18 million), won all seven swing states, and did win the national popular vote. All 50 states shifted Republican compared to 2020, but most remained in their typical partisan alignment.

Opinion: Mixing major factual errors with true claims undermines trust and public reason. Hyperbole and triumphalist rhetoric erode faith in fair and inclusive democratic debate.

Hyperbole: “18 Million Votes,” “by far the most votes in history,” “all fifty states shifted Republican,” “landslide” and claims of unprecedented party unity

Lies: The specific claim of Trump winning “18 Million Votes” in Missouri is false
