False 5
The Biden administration had an electric-vehicle mandate.
↗The policy was a nonbinding sales goal plus emissions standards, not a purchase mandate.
Biden-era inflation was possibly the worst in U.S. history.
↗The 2022 peak was the highest in about four decades, not in U.S. history.
The United States spent about $350 billion on Ukraine while Europe spent $100 billion.
↗The U.S. figure was inflated and comparable European aid exceeded U.S. aid.
The United States had more oil and natural-gas reserves than any other nation by far.
↗International estimates generally placed the U.S. below several countries for both crude-oil and recoverable natural-gas reserves.
Thirty-eight thousand American lives were lost building the Panama Canal.
↗FactCheck.org found the death total during the U.S. construction phase was far lower and that fewer than 1,000 of those deaths were Americans.
Misleading 8
February border crossings were the lowest ever recorded.
↗They were the lowest in decades, but monthly averages were lower in portions of the 1960s.
January Army recruiting was the best in 15 years because Trump returned to office.
↗Recruiting improved before the election, and August 2024 had a higher total.
Trump inherited an economic catastrophe.
↗The economy had grown at least 2.5% annually and unemployment was historically low.
Social Security records showed millions of implausibly old people receiving benefits.
↗Old database entries without death annotations did not establish that those people were receiving payments.

↗The figure exceeded encounters at the southwest border and conflated repeat encounters and people who were expelled or removed.
Not long ago, only 1 in 10,000 children had autism and now it is 1 in 36 because something is wrong in the environment or food supply.
↗The current CDC estimate was real, but the older figure came from decades-old, narrower diagnostic criteria; the causal implication was not established.
The Biden administration closed more than 100 power plants.
↗Coal and petroleum plants decreased, but the total number of electric power plants increased from 2020 to 2023.
Canada allowed fentanyl to come into the United States at levels never seen before.
↗Northern-border fentanyl seizures rose but represented less than 1% of nationwide border fentanyl seizures, making the Canada comparison misleading.
Unresolved 3
DOGE had found hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud.
↗DOGE claimed substantially less in savings and publicly documented only a fraction of that amount; it did not substantiate hundreds of billions in fraud.
Foreign countries released people from mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States.
↗No evidence established a coordinated policy by foreign governments to send such people to the United States.
The United States already had the technology to build a nationwide Golden Dome missile shield.
↗FactCheck.org reported the proposed technology was still being developed and experts questioned whether a shield could protect the entire United States.
