Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s statement that tariffs on other countries “saved our cattle ranchers” contains factual elements—he did impose tariffs on beef imports, particularly on Brazilian beef. However, agricultural economists, market data, and U.S. cattle industry organizations overwhelmingly agree that the primary driver of improved profits for ranchers is historically low cattle supply due to […]

“The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, dont understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it werent for me, they would be doing just as theyve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s statement that cattle ranchers are thriving exclusively due to his tariffs, notably a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, contains a mixture of truths and significant exaggerations. While a 50% tariff on Brazil was indeed imposed and ranchers are currently profitable, economic analysis concludes that the primary reason for high cattle prices

“Im pleased to announce Mark Savaya will serve as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq. Marks deep understanding of the Iraq-U.S. relationship, and his connections in the region, will help advance the interests of the American people. Mark was a key player in my campaign in Michigan, where he, and others, helped secure a record vote with Muslim Americans. Congratulations, Mark!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary There is no credible evidence that Mark Savaya has been appointed as Special Envoy to the Republic of Iraq, nor that he holds any formal role in U.S. diplomacy or foreign policy. Public records confirm his identity as a Michigan-based businessman with roots in the cannabis industry. While he has Iraqi heritage, no

Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post claims Donald Trump is being interviewed “RIGHT NOW” by Maria Bartiromo on “FoxNews.” Evidence unequivocally confirms the interview occurred, but it aired on Fox Business Network, not Fox News Channel. The real-time nature of the post cannot be fully verified without a timestamp, but the interview’s timing aligns with

“It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route. U.S. Intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics. There were four known narcoterrorists on board the vessel. Two of the terrorists were killed. At least 25,000 Americans would die if I allowed this submarine to come ashore. The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea. Thank you for your attention to this matter!DONALD J.

Fact-Check Summary President Trump’s post accurately reports that a U.S. military strike targeted a vessel in the Caribbean, resulting in two deaths and two survivors who are set to be repatriated to Ecuador and Colombia. However, the characterization of the vessel as a “very large drug-carrying submarine” and the claim that it contained “mostly fentanyl”

“RT @realDonaldTrumpA Blue Slip means that if youre a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, Blue Slips are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and thats not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post about the Senate blue slip process is rife with inaccuracies. The blue slip is a Senate tradition—not a constitutional requirement or permanent blockade—allowing home-state senators input on federal judicial or prosecutorial nominees. Contrary to Trump’s claims, the blue slip process does not make it impossible for a Republican president to

“RT @realDonaldTrumpThe meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was very interesting, and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL! Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide! No more shooting, no more Death, no more vast and unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a War that would have never started if I were President. Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week — NO MORE, GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES IN PEACE!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The October 17, 2025 meeting between Donald Trump and President Zelenskyy is accurately referenced. Trump’s claim that the meeting was “cordial” is partially true: on-camera, the interaction was friendly, but multiple credible reports documented significant underlying tensions. Trump’s public call for both sides to “make a deal” and “stop where they are” aligns

“Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, must be thrown out of office, ASAP! The incredible people of Kentuckys 4th Congressional District gave us a mandate to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that will help us do that is Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Fifth Generation Kentucky Farmer, Captain Ed Gallrein, a true America First Patriot. A Brave Combat Veteran, Ed knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. Additionally, as a very successful Businessman, Ed knows how to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Support our Amazing Farmers and American Agriculture, Unleash American Energy Dominance, and Champion our Nations Golden Age. In Congress, he will fight tirelessly to Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. I hope Ed gets into the Race against Massie, who is now polling at about 9% because the Great People of Kentucky are wise to him — He only votes against the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike lightweight Massie, a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Should he decide to challenge Massie, Captain Ed Gallrein has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, ED, RUN — MAGA!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about Congressman Thomas Massie and Ed Gallrein includes several fact-based statements, notable exaggerations, and some inaccuracies. The post accurately conveys Ed Gallrein’s well-documented background as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger-qualified officer, and fifth-generation Kentucky farmer.

“Whatever happened to Senator Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. Hes a nasty liddle guy, much like Congressman Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First. Its really weird!!!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post makes several claims regarding Senator Rand Paul’s electoral history, his alignment with the Republican Party, and Donald Trump’s own electoral victories in Kentucky. The assertion that Trump “got [Rand Paul] elected twice” is inaccurate regarding Paul’s initial 2010 election, as it occurred before Trump’s rise to political prominence. Trump did encourage

“George Santos was somewhat of a rogue, but there are many rogues throughout our Country that arent forced to serve seven years in prison. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard Da Nang Dick Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, Da Nang stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was a Great Hero, he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that George Santos was sentenced to over seven years in federal prison and that President Trump commuted his sentence on October 17, 2025, leading to Santos’s immediate release. It is also true that Santos was held in solitary confinement for a period while incarcerated, with reports of hardship—but allegations
