Major technology companies signed the pledge.

AP confirmed Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, xAI, OpenAI and Amazon were among participating companies.

Eligible newborns can receive a one-time $1,000 federal deposit.

IRS and Treasury guidance confirms the pilot payment for eligible U.S. citizens born from 2025 through 2028 when an election is made.

Foreign governments have capabilities to target U.S. election infrastructure.

U.S. intelligence has long documented foreign cyber and influence capabilities.

China and other foreign countries had tried to meddle in U.S. elections.

Public intelligence assessments document foreign influence efforts, although they do not show that foreign actors changed cast votes.

A recent week of initial jobless claims was the lowest since 1969.

Labor Department data showed the late-April weekly total was the lowest since September 1969, although that did not describe the month as a whole.

The United States was producing more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.

Contemporary production data broadly supported the comparison, though country totals vary by petroleum definition.

The United States produced more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.

Production data broadly supported the combined comparison, although totals vary depending on the petroleum definition used.

Major technology companies signed the White House ratepayer-protection pledge.

Representatives of the participating companies signed the pledge at the recorded White House event.

The stock market set 53 record highs after the 2024 election.

The cited count of closing highs was broadly supported, although it does not establish the cause of the market's performance.

The 2025 murder rate recorded the largest annual decline on record.

Preliminary national data supported a historic one-year decline, although the downward trend began earlier.

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.

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%.

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.

False 70

Trump “won three times,” including a rigged 2020 election.

He won the presidency in 2016 and 2024. Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election; Trump has not produced evidence establishing a rigged result.

$19.2 trillion is being spent in the United States.

CNN found the figure unsupported. Even the White House’s broader tally was $10.7 trillion in announcements and included vague pledges, not verified spending.

California's ballot-counting timeline demonstrated nefarious conduct.

The timeline followed state law for receiving and verifying mail ballots and was not evidence of fraud.

Israel would not exist today if Trump had not withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement.

The sweeping counterfactual was unsupported, and the agreement restricted Iran's nuclear program rather than authorizing a weapon.

The JCPOA was a road that allowed Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

The agreement imposed enrichment, stockpile and monitoring limits and did not grant Iran a right to nuclear weapons.

Ongoing ballot counting in California meant officials were cheating.

Continuing to count valid ballots under state procedures is not evidence of election fraud.

Slow primary counting in California proved the election was rigged.

California's lawful mail-ballot timetable did not establish fraud.

Trump never guaranteed he would keep the United States out of new wars.

Campaign statements included explicit promises to keep the country out of wars.

FBI agents ushered January 6 rioters into the Capitol.

Investigations found no evidence that undercover FBI employees orchestrated or facilitated the attack.

Iran obtained all of its uranium during the Obama administration.

FactCheck.org reported Iran's enriched-uranium stockpile grew sharply after Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement, not entirely during Obama's presidency.

A cognitive screening test demonstrated extreme intelligence.

The screening test checks for possible cognitive impairment and is not an intelligence test or a measure of exceptional intelligence.

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.

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.

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

A price reduction greater than 100% is mathematically impossible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maryland sent 500,000 fake, corrupt or illegal ballots to help Democrats.

A vendor error produced duplicate primary mailings, but safeguards prevented duplicate voting and there was no evidence of a partisan fraud scheme.

The federal government had created numerous reserves similar to the new anti-weaponization settlement fund.

The cited precedents were not comparable federal reserve funds of the kind described.

Twenty-five million people entered the United States under Biden's border policy.

Credible measures of encounters, releases and the unauthorized population do not support treating 25 million people as admitted entrants.

No one had entered through the border during the preceding 11 months.

Border encounters fell sharply, but official data did not show zero entries or encounters.

Gasoline prices had come down very substantially that day.

Available price data did not show a substantial same-day decline.

Consumer confidence was way up.

Major consumer-confidence measures had declined rather than risen sharply.

Zero undocumented immigrants had entered the United States during the preceding 11 months.

Border apprehensions fell sharply but official data still recorded thousands of encounters, so the literal zero claim was incorrect.

Thom Tillis was no longer a senator.

Tillis remained a sitting U.S. senator when Trump made the statement.

Pope Leo XIV thought it was acceptable for Iran to possess a nuclear weapon.

The pope had called for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons; the cited remarks did not support Trump’s characterization.

The United States had no inflation.

Consumer prices were 2.4% higher than a year earlier.

More than $18 trillion in record-setting investment was coming into the United States.

The White House's own compilation was far lower and included speculative or previously announced commitments.

The administration saved two million American farms from extinction through estate-tax changes.

There were fewer than two million farms in the United States, and only a small fraction of farm estates would otherwise have owed the tax.

American soybeans were being shipped to China in record amounts.

Exports to China were about half the prior year's level at that point, and the announced annual purchase amount was below recent averages.

Beef prices were starting to come down.

Ground beef was down only one cent month to month and remained substantially higher year over year, while other beef prices rose.

An environmental restriction had forced the U.S. cattle herd down and Trump eliminated it.

The White House cited the nonbinding Green New Deal resolution, which never passed and imposed no cattle restriction to repeal.

A $12 billion farm-aid package was paid from tariff revenue.

The aid came through the Commodity Credit Corporation, which is funded by regular congressional appropriations.

Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.

Evidence does not show that voting by mail inherently produces widespread fraud.

The United States was the only country that used mail-in voting.

Multiple other democracies permit postal voting, so the categorical claim was incorrect.

Iran had Tomahawk missiles.

Tomahawk is a U.S.-made cruise missile; available inventories did not support the claim.

The Biden administration produced the worst inflation in U.S. history.

The 2022 peak was the highest in about four decades, not the highest in U.S. history.

The 2015 Iran nuclear agreement gave Iran the right to possess top-of-the-line nuclear weapons.

The agreement restricted Iran’s nuclear program and did not grant a right to nuclear weapons.

The administration ended eight wars in ten months.

AP found the figure highly exaggerated and several cited disputes were not wars conclusively ended by the administration.

Trump inherited inflation at record levels.

The annual inflation rate was 3% and far below historical records.

The United States secured $18 trillion in investment commitments.

The White House's own compilation was substantially lower and included nonbinding pledges.

Gasoline was below $2.30 in most states.

Statewide averages did not support the claim.

The warrior dividend was paid from tariff revenue.

The payment was funded through enacted federal appropriations, not a dedicated tariff account.

Cheating is rampant in U.S. elections.

Documented election fraud is rare and not shown at the systemic scale claimed.

Noncitizen voting is rampant in U.S. elections.

Large-scale citizenship checks flagged only a tiny share of registrations, and flags did not establish that those people voted.

Eliminating federal fraud could balance the budget overnight.

The government's high-end estimate of annual fraud losses was far below the roughly $1.8 trillion federal deficit.

U.S. oil production had risen by more than 600,000 barrels per day since Trump returned to office.

FactCheck.org reported the increase was about 334,600 barrels per day over the relevant period, far below the figure Trump gave.

U.S. hockey player Brady Tkachuk made a profane statement about the Canadian team.

The quotation circulated in a fabricated social-media post and was not an authentic statement by Tkachuk.

The greenhouse-gas endangerment finding had no basis in fact or law.

The finding rested on a large scientific record and was upheld by a federal appeals court.

Among Somalis in Minnesota, 92% do not work.

Employment data did not support the 92% figure.

Drugs entering the United States by sea were down 97%.

The administration did not provide evidence supporting a 97% decline in maritime drug entry.

$18 trillion was being invested in the United States.

AP found no evidence for that total; the White House’s own broader compilation was substantially lower and included speculative commitments.

Minnesota immigration protests were fake demonstrations run by professional insurrectionists.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Stopping the alleged fraud would balance the federal budget.

The identified fraud estimates were far below the federal deficit and could not balance the budget.

Credit-card companies would violate the law unless they capped interest rates at 10% by January 20.

No enacted federal law imposed that deadline or universal cap.

Nicolás Maduro was flooding the United States with deadly fentanyl.

Available drug-trafficking evidence did not support attributing the U.S. fentanyl supply to Maduro or Venezuela.

The former U.S. childhood vaccine schedule required babies to receive 72 injections.

The schedule did not require 72 injections for babies; the number conflated doses across childhood and misstated the schedule.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman killed.

Authorities identified no evidence tying Walz to Hortman’s killing; the accusation contradicted the documented investigation.

Misleading 72

Washington is “almost a crime-free city” and crime fell 88%.

Crime was down, but police had recorded more than 11,000 crimes and 57 homicides in 2026. Overall crime was about 20% lower, not 88%.

The pledge guarantees families will not pay data-center electricity costs.

The commitment is voluntary, not a binding guarantee. States and Congress were separately considering enforceable requirements, and some signatories opposed such mandates.

Trump Accounts automatically take care of America’s youth.

Participation requires an election; the $1,000 is limited by birth-year and citizenship rules. Larger gains depend on market performance and additional contributions.

Thousands of undocumented immigrants voted in New Jersey.

The cited evidence did not establish thousands of noncitizen ballots.

China illicitly acquired files on 220 million U.S. voters and the government kept it secret.

Known cyber incidents and commercially available voter data did not support the full characterization.

U.S. election systems are easily compromised enough to alter results.

Foreign actors pose real threats, but audits and safeguards have not shown altered national results.

Michigan's fraudulent voter applications showed outcome-changing election fraud.

Officials intercepted suspicious applications before ballots were cast; the episode did not show altered results.

Artificial intelligence would need almost twice as much energy as the entire country produced.

High-end forecasts show very large demand growth, but did not support the broad near-term comparison as stated.

Biden raised rents 40% to 50% by housing undocumented immigrants in empty units.

Rents rose for multiple reasons and the claimed magnitude and single cause were not supported.

Trump Accounts give every child an automatic $1,000 federal contribution.

Accounts can be opened more broadly, but the federal pilot deposit requires an election and is limited to eligible U.S. citizens born from 2025 through 2028.

Trump was profiting because the stock market was rising and he held a lot of cash.

The explanation omitted the varied composition and valuation of his assets and did not establish the claimed causal account.

The Supreme Court ruled broadly against men playing in women's sports.

The ruling addressed specific state restrictions and did not resolve every policy covered by the broad characterization.

Religion was back in the United States, bigger and stronger than it had been in many years.

Multiple national surveys showed long-term declines or recent stability in affiliation and attendance rather than a broad religious resurgence.

The typical 401(k) had risen almost $30,000 in 13 months.

The estimate depended on selective assumptions and was not representative of every typical account holder.

Iran was very close to a nuclear weapon under the Obama-era deal.

The agreement imposed enrichment and monitoring limits and intelligence did not establish an imminent weapon.

The current economy exceeded the greatest economy ever in Trump's first term.

Several major indicators did not support either superlative.

More factories were being built than ever before.

Manufacturing construction remained elevated but had declined from its peak.

Obama emptied out banks around Washington to send $1.7 billion in cash to Iran.

The payment settled a decades-old U.S. debt and was made in foreign currency because sanctions blocked a dollar transfer; the bank-emptying description was unsupported.

Many January 6 defendants were arrested even though they never entered the Capitol building.

Some defendants were charged for conduct outside the building, but many outside cases involved assault, restricted-area breaches or other unlawful conduct; the statement omitted that context.

Coal is ‘clean’ without qualification.

Controls reduce some emissions, but burning coal still produces carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

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.

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.

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.

No Republican wins in Nassau County.

Republicans had won multiple recent elections in Nassau County.

More Americans were working than at any time in U.S. history.

The raw employment count was high largely because the population had grown; employment and participation rates did not show an equivalent record.

Biden allowed 11,888 murderers into the United States.

The cited ICE docket accumulated cases over multiple decades, including Trump's first term, and includes people serving prison sentences.

The tax law created no tax on Social Security for seniors.

It created a temporary, income-limited deduction rather than eliminating Social Security taxation for every beneficiary.

The tax law created no tax on overtime.

The law provides a capped deduction for qualifying overtime compensation, not a universal elimination of all taxes on overtime pay.

The tax law created no tax on tips.

The law provides a capped deduction for qualifying tip income with eligibility restrictions, not a universal tax exemption.

Small businesses and farms have no inheritance or estate tax.

The law raised and extended the exemption threshold but did not repeal the estate tax.

U.S. strikes had totally obliterated three Iranian nuclear sites.

The strikes damaged the sites and set back enrichment, but expert and intelligence assessments did not support complete destruction of the sites or Iran’s nuclear capability.

Iran was right at the doorstep of possessing a nuclear bomb.

Arms-control experts found no evidence that a weapon was imminent or that Iran had resumed the necessary weaponization work before the operation.

The United States became the world’s leading oil and gas producer because of Trump’s leadership.

The United States became the top producer of natural gas and petroleum before Trump’s first presidential term, so the production ranking cannot be attributed solely to his leadership.

Iran's new leadership was less radical and more reasonable after regime change.

Iran's new supreme leader was viewed as at least as hard-line, while the Revolutionary Guard had gained influence.

The United States was totally independent of Middle Eastern oil and unaffected by regional supply.

Direct imports were limited, but globally traded oil prices and U.S. gasoline costs remained exposed to Middle Eastern disruption.

Obama gave Iran $1.7 billion in cash.

The payment settled a decades-old debt for military equipment the United States never delivered; it was not a gift.

The United States had achieved regime change.

Political change had occurred, but the claim overstated the administration’s demonstrated role and the stability of the outcome.

More Americans were working than at any time in U.S. history.

The head count was high because population grows, while the employment rate was below historical peaks.

The administration ended the estate tax for family farms and small businesses.

The law increased and extended the exemption but did not repeal the federal estate tax.

Elections cannot be accurate when mail-in ballots are used.

Mail voting is widely used with verification safeguards; documented fraud is rare and not shown to make mail elections inherently inaccurate.

Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz did not really affect the United States.

Although direct Persian Gulf imports were limited, the closure raised global oil prices and contributed to a sharp increase in U.S. gasoline prices.

Iran was responsible for the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school.

Available video, satellite imagery and expert analysis instead indicated that a U.S. strike was likely responsible, while the official investigation remained incomplete.

The United States had a virtually unlimited supply of munitions and could fight with them forever.

Stockpiles varied by weapon type; experts identified strained interceptor and precision-missile supplies that would require replenishment.

Earlier U.S. strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear program.

The strikes damaged facilities but did not eliminate Iran's nuclear expertise or all material.

Trump inherited a stagnant economy.

Real GDP grew 2.8% in 2024, so the economy was not stagnant by that standard.

More Americans were working than at any time in history.

The raw number rises with population; the employment-to-population ratio remained below its 2000 peak.

The tax law delivered no tax on Social Security.

The temporary deduction does not eliminate tax for every beneficiary and is limited by age and income rules.

The economy was roaring like never before.

Growth was positive, but available measures did not establish an unprecedented boom.

The 43-day federal shutdown cost two percentage points of GDP growth.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis attributed one percentage point of reduced fourth-quarter growth to the shutdown, not two.

Prices were plummeting.

Some prices declined, but the broad consumer price index was still rising.

Americans now pay the lowest prescription-drug prices anywhere in the world.

Some negotiated cash prices fell, but the evidence did not show a broad decline to the world's lowest drug prices.

There had been a tremendous renewal of religion during Trump's time in office.

Gallup and Pew data showed long-term decline or stability rather than the claimed broad renewal.

Religious renewal was especially strong among young people.

Pew found no surge in religious belief among young adults, who remained less religious than older Americans.

Biden allowed 11,888 murderers into the United States.

The cited immigration docket accumulated cases over decades and did not show that Biden released that number.

Trump inherited rampant crime at home.

Violent crime and murder were already declining before he returned to office.

Tariffs could replace federal income taxes.

Projected tariff revenue was far below individual income-tax collections.

Iran's nuclear program was obliterated.

The strikes caused major damage but did not eliminate Iran's nuclear knowledge or all capabilities.

Republicans would always protect Medicaid without benefit cuts.

FactCheck.org noted Republican-backed legislation and budget plans included major Medicaid spending reductions and eligibility changes, making the blanket promise misleading.

Natural-gas production reached an all-time high because of Trump's drill-baby-drill policy.

Natural-gas production was at record levels, but it had also reached records before Trump returned to office, so the causal framing overstated his role.

Minneapolis crime fell 25% to 30% because thousands of criminals were removed.

Some crime measures declined, but the magnitude and claimed causal link were not established.

The U.S. crime rate was the lowest since 1900.

Recent violent-crime declines were real, but no consistent national series supports a precise comparison to 1900.

More factories and plants were being built than ever before.

Construction investment was elevated, but available measures did not establish an all-time record in the terms claimed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Trump had ended eight otherwise unendable wars in ten months.

Several cited conflicts were not conclusively ended, and renewed fighting or unresolved disputes remained.

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.

Coal is clean.

Coal production is cleaner than it was historically, but burning coal still emits carbon dioxide and harmful air pollutants.

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.

Unresolved 19

The United States has far more munitions than anyone in the world and far more than it needs.

Trump made the broad superlative while disputing stockpile-concern reporting. Public evidence is not sufficient to verify detailed U.S. and foreign munitions inventories, and contemporaneous reporting described concerns about specific U.S. air-defense stockpiles.

The expanded pledge protects 263 million Americans and covers 80% of power delivered.

Those figures came from the White House. The reviewed independent reporting did not provide enough underlying data to verify them.

The economy was the best in history in Trump’s first term.

“Best” has no single accepted measure. The claim omits the 2020 recession and requires selecting favorable indicators, so it cannot be supported as stated.

The released material proves votes were secretly altered in the 2020 election.

The administration described vulnerabilities and foreign access, but that does not by itself establish altered vote totals or a changed result.

DHS identified 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote.

The administration did not disclose enough methodology or records to validate the total.

Trump's Iran agreement averted a worldwide depression.

The counterfactual economic outcome cannot be established from the available evidence.

The administration cut the flow of illegal drugs entering by sea by 97%.

Seizure data do not measure drugs that enter undetected, so available federal data cannot establish the claimed reduction in total flow.

Without the 2025 strikes Iran would already have a nuclear weapon and half the world would be eradicated.

The sweeping counterfactual could not be substantiated from public evidence.

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

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

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

The administration did not provide evidence establishing the asserted proportion.

Iran would soon have had missiles capable of reaching the American homeland.

Arms-control experts disputed the claim, and the reviewed public evidence did not establish a reliable near-term timetable.

Many farmers died by suicide because estate taxes threatened their farms.

The review found no documented U.S. examples supporting the asserted pattern.

The pledge guarantees that data centers will not raise community electricity prices and will substantially lower them in many places.

The pledge sets commitments, but future retail-price outcomes depend on implementation, utility regulation and grid costs that cannot yet be established.

Without the new strikes, Iran would have caused a nuclear war and destroyed many countries.

The counterfactual prediction was not supported by verifiable evidence.

Iran had attempted to rebuild its enrichment program.

The reviewed public evidence did not establish the asserted reconstruction.

Iran could soon field missiles capable of reaching the U.S. homeland.

Public assessments did not establish the claimed near-term timetable.

Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.

Public intelligence did not establish that a weapon decision or immediate breakout was underway.

The flow of fentanyl into the country was down a record 56%.

The administration did not provide evidence supporting the specific flow estimate.

Many immigrants came from prisons and mental institutions.

No supporting evidence was provided for a coordinated foreign-government practice.

Coverage

Thursday, January 1, 2026 through Sunday, July 26, 2026. Totals are calculated directly from verdicts on attributable Trump claims in published daily editions. Assessed claims that cannot be responsibly verified from the available evidence are counted as Unresolved.
