Tariff revenue could replace federal income-tax revenue.

Federal income taxes raise far more money than tariffs; analysts told PolitiFact that replacing income taxes would require implausibly high tariff or sales-tax levels and would not match the revenue base.

Trump had achieved the highest poll numbers of his political career.

Contemporary job-approval polling was below several earlier peaks in both his first and second terms.

Under Biden, government jobs were going up while real jobs were going down.

Private-sector jobs increased every year under Biden and rose by about 14.3 million over his term; government jobs also increased but at a slower rate.

The drop of more than 600,000 SNAP recipients under Trump was a record.

USDA data reviewed by FactCheck.org showed a larger decline from October 2024 to January 2025, before Trump's second term began.

Tariffs were helping reduce the annual federal deficit by more than 25%.

The fiscal-year deficit declined by less than 25%, and tariff revenue alone did not support attributing that reduction as claimed.

Tariffs had generated trillions of dollars that could fund $2,000 dividends and substantially reduce the debt.

Tariff collections were measured in hundreds of billions, not trillions, and analysts found the proposed payments could exceed available revenue.

The United States had no inflation and inflation was 2%.

Consumer prices were up 3% year over year.

Grocery prices were going down.

The available food-at-home index did not support a broad decline.

Biden allowed more than 11,000 murderers into the country.

The cited ICE docket includes people accumulated over decades and does not show that Biden released that number.

Each drug boat struck by the U.S. military would have killed 25,000 Americans.

The arithmetic was implausible compared with total U.S. overdose deaths and conflated potential doses with actual deaths.

No judge can challenge a president's use of the Insurrection Act.

Legal experts and Supreme Court precedent indicate courts can review bad-faith, plainly unauthorized or unlawful uses of military force.

Biden illegally used an autopen to grant pardons.

Prior Justice Department analysis and constitutional scholars have said autopen use can be lawful when authorized by the president; no solid proof established unauthorized pardons.

The 2020 presidential election was rigged.

Courts, audits and election-security officials found no evidence of fraud sufficient to change the result.

The United States spent $350 billion on Ukraine.

Congressional and oversight totals for U.S. Ukraine-related support were far below $350 billion.
