What the evidence supports
The United States had no inflation.
Overall prices were still rising, although some individual categories such as eggs and gasoline had declined.
The administration’s deportation effort was focused on murderers and drug dealers.
Detailed deportation data were unavailable, and about 74% of people then held in immigration detention had no criminal convictions.
The United States had secured $18 trillion in new investment commitments.
The White House’s own published total was $9.6 trillion, and experts cautioned that some listed pledges might never materialize.
Gasoline averaged $1.99 per gallon in many states.
No state’s average was below $2; only a limited number of individual stations advertised prices under that threshold.
One out of every four jobs added during Biden’s presidency was a government job.
Government positions accounted for about 11% of total job growth across Biden’s four years; a higher share applied only to a narrower selected period.
Fentanyl overdoses killed 300,000 people in the preceding year.
Federal data recorded about 69,000 deaths from all drug overdoses, not solely fentanyl, in the latest twelve-month period.
Trump had ended eight otherwise unendable wars in ten months.
Several cited conflicts were not conclusively ended, and renewed fighting or unresolved disputes remained.
No previous president had probably ever settled a war.
The historical record contains numerous presidentially brokered armistices, peace agreements and conflict settlements.
The United States gave Greenland back to Denmark after World War II.
Greenland did not belong to the United States, so the United States could not have returned it to Denmark.
The U.S. economy was booming after Trump's first year back in office.
The economy was growing and unemployment was low, but hiring had slowed sharply and inflation remained elevated.
The Biden administration subjected the United States to stagflation.
Inflation rose, but real GDP expanded at healthy rates throughout Biden's presidency rather than stagnating.
The United States had received absolutely nothing in return for its NATO spending.
NATO invoked collective defense after 9/11, and allies supplied troops and support for U.S.-led operations.
Countries lose more money and perform worse as they add more wind power.
Onshore wind was among the cheapest new electricity sources, and the claimed cross-country relationship was unsupported.
Coal is clean.
Coal production is cleaner than it was historically, but burning coal still emits carbon dioxide and harmful air pollutants.
Trump won all seven swing states and the popular vote in the 2024 election.
Federal election results support both statements. This does not support his separate description of the victory as a giant historical landslide.
Trump’s 2024 election victory was a giant historical landslide.
His popular-vote margin was about 1.5 percentage points and his electoral total was smaller than several modern presidential victories.
The 2020 presidential election was rigged and Biden did not win it.
Certified results gave Biden 306 electoral votes and a popular-vote margin exceeding seven million; investigations found no outcome-changing fraud.
Transcript audit

Bottom line
