TRUMPCLAIM TRACKERThe public record · 172 catalogued records
Claims with documented occurrences since January 20, 2025, with evidence summaries and publisher attribution. Counts describe this selected catalogue, not all statements or every repetition.
EPA’s 2009 finding rested on a multi-agency scientific record that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. Massachusetts v. EPA held greenhouse gases fit the Clean Air Act’s broad definition of air pollutant and required EPA to ground any endangerment decision in the statute. See the EPA finding and technical support and Supreme Court opinion.
Some offenses declined while others increased, and parts of the downward trend predated the operation. The available evidence did not establish the claimed causal effect.
The administration cited a homicide estimate rather than a comparable measure of all crime. Consistent national crime records do not support a 125-year comparison of overall crime.
The cited claim confused benefit participation with employment. Census-based analysis put the share not working around 28%, not 92%.
Manufacturing construction remained high historically, but spending had peaked under Biden and subsequently declined. The claim omitted that trajectory.
The announced agreements covered selected products and often cash purchases. There was no evidence of an across-the-board international price reversal, and insured patients could already obtain better prices than some advertised cash discounts.
The second- and third-quarter growth rates were strong relative to the preceding two years, but higher rates had occurred previously. A recent improvement is not an all-time record.
The percentage compared two selected monthly readings. Over the first ten full months of the term, the cumulative goods-and-services deficit was down 3.9% from the comparable prior-year period.
PolitiFact found no evidence supporting a blanket assertion that participants were paid. Evidence of volunteer participation contradicted the description of the entire movement.
The U.S. led on some model and chip measures, but experts described a narrow lead in model capability. China had advantages in talent and electricity; a sweeping comparison omitted those distinctions.
Even the high end of the cited annual fraud estimate, $521 billion, was less than one-third of the 2025 deficit. Eliminating it entirely would still leave a large budget gap.
At the time of the statement, no enacted law or executive order imposed that cap. A presidential demand or proposal did not create an existing legal obligation.
Prosecutors treated the suspect’s allegation as unsubstantiated and did not link Walz to the shootings. A state-board appointment was not evidence that the governor ordered a murder.
Year-over-year wages had already been growing faster than inflation since June 2023 in the cited federal series. The improvement was not new to the second term.
The Tax Policy Center estimated an average cut around $800. Average reductions in the quoted range applied to the highest-income households, not a representative family.
The comparison used native-born and foreign-born estimates affected by population adjustments. Birthplace also does not determine citizenship; foreign-born workers include naturalized U.S. citizens.
The Constitution does not require a handwritten presidential signature on a pardon. PolitiFact’s legal review found no mechanism letting a successor simply revoke delivered pardons on that basis.
The video used older footage from February. It showed Maduro discussing investigative records, not publicly surrendering in December.
Eight polling aggregations showed stronger approval earlier in the term. The November readings were among the weakest of that term, contradicting the claimed personal record.
The declassified U.S. intelligence assessment concluded that the crown prince approved an operation to capture or kill Khashoggi. Trump’s categorical denial contradicted that assessment; the record is an intelligence finding, not a court verdict.
The comparison relied on a long period ending in 2024 and overstated typical gains. It omitted subsequent declines in several major insurers’ share prices.
The fiscal-year deficit fell about 2.3%, not 25%. Restricting the comparison to the months Trump was in office did not produce the claimed reduction either.
The allegation originated in satire. PolitiFact found no evidence that Obama was receiving the purported royalties or that DOGE stopped such payments.
The cheaper 2025 promotion contained fewer or smaller items than the 2024 bundle. Comparing different baskets does not measure a 25% fall in the prices of the same food.
PolitiFact counted 17 presidents, roughly 37%, with most uses over a century earlier. Invocation does not eliminate constitutional rights or judicial review.
The figure represented the estimated ten-year cost of a broader spending proposal, including ACA subsidies and Medicaid changes. It was not an allocation of that amount to people living in the country illegally.
Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter personally helped negotiate peace agreements. Other presidents also oversaw diplomacy that ended conflicts.
The administration did not establish the cargo or a causal death estimate. Even a count of potentially lethal doses cannot be equated with the number of people who would otherwise die.
There were localized offenses near an ICE facility, but they did not describe conditions across the city. PolitiFact documented ordinary city life continuing beyond the small protest area.
Biden made comparable statements repeatedly in speeches to service members, military graduates and other audiences. The public transcripts contradict the claim.
