What the evidence supports
U.S. oil prices had declined since Trump took office.
FactCheck.org found West Texas Intermediate crude was down 24.8% from January 17 to December 8, while noting that broader energy-price measures were mixed.
U.S. crude-oil production was at a record level.
FactCheck.org reported that monthly production was up from January and that the 2025 daily average was on course to exceed the prior annual record.
The United States had received $18 trillion to $22 trillion in investment promises since January.
Documented announcements were far below that range and included speculative or previously announced commitments.
Inflation had stopped.
Consumer prices were still rising at about 3% year over year.
Gasoline averaged $1.99 in three or four states.
No statewide average was that low, though isolated stations advertised such prices.
More Americans were working than ever before.
The raw count reflected population growth; the employment-to-population ratio was slightly lower than in January.
The administration had created 4,000 new manufacturing jobs in Pennsylvania as part of a national manufacturing boom.
The Pennsylvania figure did not establish the broader claim; nationwide manufacturing employment was down by about 49,000 since January.
Companies were pouring out of the United States during Biden’s presidency.
The cited review found no evidence supporting a broad exodus of companies.
