“I dont care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Lets keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks hes still President, to watch his words. Hes entering very dangerous territory!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post makes several sweeping assertions about U.S.-India and U.S.-Russia trade, Indian tariffs, and Dmitry Medvedev’s current status. The claim that the U.S. does “very little business with India” is contradicted by official data showing $131.84 billion in annual trade. While it is true India’s average tariff rate is higher than that

“Why would one Republican, Senator Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosis Stock Trading over the last 25 years. The information was inappropriately released just minutes before the Vote — Very much like SABOTAGE! The Democrats, because of our tremendous ACHIEVEMENTS and SUCCESS, have been trying to Target me for a long period of time, and theyre using Josh Hawley, who I got elected TWICE, as a pawn to help them. I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with — He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats. Its a great Bill for her, and her husband, but so bad for our Country!
