Fact-check desk

What the evidence supports

False

Minnesota immigration protests were fake demonstrations run by professional insurrectionists.

The reviewed evidence did not support characterizing the protests as fabricated or professionally staged.

Misleading

The United States was leading China in artificial intelligence by a lot.

The U.S. led on several measures, but the broad claim omitted areas where China was competitive or ahead.

Supported

The United States had net negative migration in 2025, the first time in decades.

PolitiFact found Census Bureau estimates showed a net decrease of about 203,000 people from international migration in 2025, supporting the direction of the claim while noting uncertainty around exact historical comparisons.

Supported

Denmark had spent less than 1% of a promised $200 million aid package for Greenland.

PolitiFact reported Denmark had spent about $1.5 million of the $200 million package, which was below 1%.

False

The United States gave Greenland back to Denmark after World War II.

Greenland was never U.S. territory, so the United States did not give it back to Denmark.

Misleading

Groceries, energy, airfares, mortgage rates, rents and car payments were all coming down fast.

Some prices or rates had declined, but several major categories were mixed or still elevated; the across-the-board claim overstated the data.

False

China builds practically no wind farms.

China had the world's largest wind-energy fleet and continued to add wind capacity, contradicting the categorical claim.

Misleading

Mass immigration and invasion were the main factor in high U.S. housing costs.

Immigration can affect local demand, but economists point to housing shortages, interest rates, zoning and construction constraints as larger drivers; the single-cause framing was misleading.
