Congress

Democrats voted against denouncing Socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America platform

Donald Trump

Misleading

While 192 House Democrats did vote against the resolution denouncing socialism and the DSA, eight Democrats voted for it and two voted present, so Trump's claim ignoring these dissenters oversimplifies the vote.The Baseline automated desk · Sep 5, 2026

Climate

"The United Nations top climate committee just admitted that its own projections were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!"

President Donald Trump

Misleading

A routine update narrowed the range of emissions scenarios, retiring an old worst-case path partly because the world shifted off coal toward renewables. It does not mean climate science was wrong, and researchers stress warming remains a serious, worsening problem.FactCheck.org, IPCC · Jun 4, 2026

Healthcare

"As a result of the Big Beautiful Bill, 15 million Americans have been thrown off the healthcare that they need."

Sen. Bernie Sanders

Misleading

The figure describes coverage losses projected over the next decade, not people already dropped. CBO estimated the 2025 law would add about 10 million to the uninsured by 2034, plus roughly 4 million from expiring ACA tax credits. So far ACA enrollment is down only about 1 million.PolitiFact, CBO, CMS · Apr 30, 2026

Federal Budget

"With the help of tariffs, we have cut the federal budget deficit by a staggering 27% in a single year."

President Donald Trump

Misleading

On a fiscal-year basis the deficit fell about 2.3%, from $1.82 trillion in FY2024 to $1.78 trillion in FY2025 - not 27%. The larger number comes from comparing a cherry-picked window of calendar months, and CBO projects FY2026 will end higher than FY2025.FactCheck.org, CBO, U.S. Treasury · Feb 19, 2026

Manufacturing

"Factory construction is up by 41%."

President Donald Trump

Misleading

Census data show manufacturing construction spending fell about 6.7% since Trump took office. The 41% compares 2025 months to a 2021-24 average and ignores the CHIPS Act-driven surge under Biden.FactCheck.org, U.S. Census Bureau · Feb 19, 2026

Energy

“Gas prices hit an all-time record high this year.”

Misleading

May 21, 2026 did set a record — for the Trump presidencies, at $4.56 a gallon. It was not an all-time record: June 2022 averaged over $5.00 nominal, and adjusted for inflation 2012 gas cost about $5.07 in today’s dollars. Prices have since fallen back to about $3.84.EIA / AAA · Jul 2, 2026
