What the evidence supports

False

Iran's navy, air force and all other military capabilities were gone.

Iran's forces were significantly degraded, but intelligence assessments said substantial missile, drone and air-defense capabilities remained.

Misleading

Trump did not call the Iran war a war, only a conflict.

He had repeatedly called it a war, including later in the same Cabinet meeting.

False

Three Iowa gas stations displayed regular gasoline prices between $1.85 and $1.90 during his January visit.

Tracked regular-gas prices did not support those figures; the claim may have conflated regular gasoline with the niche E85 blend.

False

Prescription drug prices had fallen by 400% to 600%.

A price reduction greater than 100% is mathematically impossible.

False

Eighteen trillion dollars in investment was coming into the United States in eleven months.

The White House listed $10.6 trillion in announcements, and that total included vague, nonbinding or non-investment pledges.

Misleading

Biden let 11,888 murderers into the United States.

The cited ICE docket covered people accumulated across multiple administrations and included people in custody, so it did not show that Biden let that number enter or roam free.

Unresolved

More than half of the 11,888 murderers had committed multiple murders.

CNN found the administration had not provided evidence for the asserted proportion.

False

The Obama and Biden administrations spent hundreds of millions of dollars repairing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

The Obama-era contract was about $35 million and the Biden administration did not undertake the proposed major rehabilitation.

False

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is 2,400 feet long and longer than the world's tallest building.

The pool is about 2,028 feet long, while the Burj Khalifa exceeds 2,700 feet.

Misleading

Fraudulent payments to people listed as 115 to 125 years old could save Social Security without benefit changes.

Old database records generally did not indicate active payments, and identified fraud was far too small to alter the program's finances.

False

Stopping federal fraud would produce a balanced budget.

Even the government's high-end estimate of annual fraud losses was far smaller than the projected federal deficit.
