False 11
Trump's repeated campaign promise to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours had been sarcastic.
↗CNN identified dozens of campaign appearances in which Trump delivered the promise seriously rather than as a joke.
The United States had no inflation.
↗Consumer prices rose 2.4% over the year ending in May and also increased month over month.
Trump defeated the ISIS territorial caliphate within a matter of weeks.
↗The territorial caliphate was declared defeated more than two years into Trump's first presidency.
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was a communist.
↗Mamdani identified as a democratic socialist and advocated electoral, mixed-economy policies rather than abolition of private property or one-party communist rule.
The United States destroyed all of Iran's nuclear facilities and nuclear capability.
↗Iran retained nuclear material, technical expertise, centrifuge-manufacturing capacity and sites outside the three attacked facilities.
All Iranian nuclear sites suffered monumental damage and obliteration was an accurate description.
↗The U.S. struck three sites, not all Iranian nuclear sites, and available assessments did not support complete destruction of the program.
The U.S. Intelligence Community was wrong because Iran was building a nuclear weapon.
↗The Intelligence Community assessed that Iran was not building a weapon and that its leader had not authorized the suspended weapons program.
Tariffs produced $88 billion in two months.
↗April and May tariff collections were less than half that figure; the cited total resembled a much longer fiscal-year period.
Los Angeles was being invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.
↗The events were domestic protests surrounding immigration raids, not a military invasion by a foreign state or army.
The 2020 presidential election was rigged.
↗Audits, recounts, court cases and election-security officials found no fraud capable of changing the result.
Failure to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill would cause a 68% tax increase.
↗The figure compared expiring provisions with the bill's full mix of tax changes and did not represent the average increase taxpayers would face.
Misleading 3
The One Big Beautiful Bill delivered no tax on Social Security.
↗The measure provided a temporary, income-limited deduction rather than eliminating Social Security taxation for every beneficiary.
The U.S. strikes had obliterated Iran's nuclear sites.
↗The strikes severely damaged the sites, but contemporaneous assessments did not establish complete destruction of Iran's facilities or capability.
U.S. strikes completely and totally obliterated Iran's key nuclear-enrichment facilities.
↗The strikes caused severe damage, but early intelligence and independent experts found surviving underground structures, material and enrichment capability.
Unresolved 4
Iran was very close to obtaining a nuclear weapon.
↗Iran could potentially produce weapons-grade material quickly, but intelligence agencies assessed that it was not building a weapon and experts said weaponization would take months or longer.
Paid rioters organized the Los Angeles immigration protests.
↗The reviewed reporting identified no evidence that the protests as a whole were organized by paid rioters.
Bricks and weapons were deliberately placed near protest sites for rioters to use.
↗No evidence was provided for an organized effort to pre-position bricks or weapons for the Los Angeles demonstrations.
California's governor and Los Angeles' mayor paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists.
↗The Guardian identified no evidence supporting the accusation that state or city officials paid protesters to attack federal officers.
