“I PAID ZERO FOR INTEL, IT IS WORTH APPROXIMATELY 11 BILLION DOLLARS. All goes to the USA. Why are stupid people unhappy with that? I will make deals like that for our Country all day long. I will also help those companies that make such lucrative deals with the United States States. I love seeing their stock price go up, making the USA RICHER, AND RICHER. More jobs for America!!! Who would not want to make deals like that?” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump’s post accurately cites the government’s acquisition of equity in Intel valued at approximately $11 billion, achieved by converting previously awarded but unpaid grants into shares, rather than through new spending. However, describing this as having “paid zero” misleads by omitting the significant opportunity cost—the government forwent grant funding that would have

“The incompetent Mayor of Chicago just stated that, in DC, where crime has been brought down to almost nothing, there have been no murders in 9 days, something which hasnt happened in years, and people are safe again, only nine people have been arrested. That is wrong, hundreds of criminals have been held, captured, and arrested, and their guns have been taken away. DC IS SAFE AND BOOMING!!!” @realDonaldTrump

TruthSocial.com /

Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post contains several inaccurate attributions and exaggerations. The claim that Chicago’s Mayor specifically said “only nine people have been arrested in DC” is unsupported by available evidence. While DC did experience an unusual nine-day period without homicides following a federal law enforcement surge, and over 600 arrests and 86 illegal firearms

“Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, arent paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES. They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked journalism should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!” @realDonaldTrump

TruthSocial.com /

Fact-Check Summary The claim that ABC and NBC pay nothing in license fees is false. Individual local broadcast stations owned by ABC and NBC pay annual FCC regulatory fees, application fees, and other charges. The FCC licenses individual stations, not networks. The assertion that licenses can be revoked for biased coverage is misleading; the FCC

“Despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History, ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!! MAGA” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The claim that ABC and NBC are “an arm of the Democrat Party” and should have their FCC licenses revoked due to coverage unpopular with the former president is deeply misleading. While Donald Trump has made similar threats before and current regulatory scrutiny exists, FCC precedent and the First Amendment strictly prohibit license

Fact-Check Summary Donald Trump claimed to have his “highest poll numbers” in the 60s and 70s and dismissed mainstream reporting as “Fake News.” Polling data from Pew, Gallup, ABC News, and Nate Silver’s aggregation all show Trump’s approval ratings in 2025 have ranged from the high 30s to mid 40s, with no credible source placing

“I have a Constitutional Right to appoint Judges and U.S. Attorneys, but that RIGHT has been completely taken away from me in States that have just one Democrat United States Senator. This is because of an old and outdated custom known as a BLUE SLIP, that Senator Chuck Grassley, of the Great State of Iowa, refuses to overturn, even though the Democrats, including Crooked Joe Biden (Twice!), have done so on numerous occasions. Therefore, the only candidates that I can get confirmed for these most important positions are, believe it or not, Democrats! Chuck Grassley should allow strong Republican candidates to ascend to these very vital and powerful roles, and tell the Democrats, as they often tell us, to go to HELL!” @realDonaldTrump

TruthSocial.com /

Fact-Check Summary The post inaccurately claims a “Constitutional Right” of the president to unilaterally appoint judges and U.S. Attorneys, which misrepresents the shared constitutional responsibility of nomination by the president and advice and consent by the Senate. The blue slip is a Senate tradition—not a law—that gives home-state senators input on federal judicial nominations, and

Fact-Check Summary The post claims that Trump’s “consultational right” to appoint judges and U.S. Attorneys has been wholly blocked in states with a single Democratic senator due to the blue slip policy, attributing this to Senator Grassley and asserting that only Democratic nominees can now be confirmed. In reality, the blue slip is a Senate

“I just watched Sloppy Chris Christie be interviewed on a ratings challenged News Show, This Week With George Slopadopolus, on ABC Fake News (By the way, what the hell happened to Jonathan Karls hair? He looks absolutely terrible! Its amazing what bad ratings, on a failed television show that was forced to pay me $16,000,000, can do to ones appearance!). Can anyone believe anything that Sloppy Chris says? Do you remember the way he lied about the dangerous and deadly closure of the George Washington Bridge in order to stay out of prison, at the same time sacrificing people who worked for him, including a young mother, who spent years trying to fight off the vicious charges against her. Chris refused to take responsibility for these criminal acts. For the sake of JUSTICE, perhaps we should start looking at that very serious situation again? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post accurately notes Chris Christie’s appearance on “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos and the ABC settlement with Trump, but it misattributes the nature of the settlement and presents misleading and exaggerated claims regarding the Bridgegate scandal. The ABC settlement concerned a defamation case unrelated to Bridgegate, and while Bridgegate did involve Christie’s

“The Appellate Court removed incompetent Judge Engoron, but he refused to go, or even to acknowledge them. Hes a highly overturned, CROOKED Judge, who is retiring into a life of lawsuits, along with his Chief Clerk, soon! He is almost as Corrupt as Leticia James, but not quite!

Fact-Check Summary The Truth Social post contains several factually incorrect and misleading claims about Judge Arthur Engoron and the recent New York appellate court ruling. The claim that “the Appellate Court removed” Judge Engoron is false; the court reversed the large financial penalty against Trump but did not remove the judge from the case or
