    “Doge and OMB also found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.”

    DOGE and OMB found that approximately $50 million in taxpayer money was about to be spent on condoms in Gaza.

    AP found no credible evidence supporting the claim and reported that the administration appeared to be referring to medical-service grants to International Medical Corps, not a $50 million condom program. The Washington Post likewise found no evidence that the contracts called for condom delivery.

  2. Claim 2
    False94% confidence▶ 0:41
    “No other president in history has faced such repeated, serious attempts on his life.”

    No other U.S. president has faced repeated, serious attempts on his life comparable to those faced by Donald Trump.

    The absolute historical claim is contradicted by Gerald Ford's experience: the Ford Presidential Library records that he faced a second assassination attempt less than a month after the first. The National Archives also documents multiple serious presidential assassination attempts in U.S. history.

    Accurate50% confidence▶ 0:47
    “Of course the president supports peaceful protests.”

    The president supports peaceful protests.

    This accurately states the administration's declared position. White House officials have repeatedly said that Trump supports the right to peaceful protest, while distinguishing peaceful demonstrations from violence or property destruction.

  4. Claim 4
    Misleading97% confidence▶ 0:51
    “Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 El Salvadorian illegal alien criminal who is hiding in Maryland.”

    Kilmar Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 member, an undocumented immigrant, a criminal, and was hiding in Maryland.

    The wording combines an unproven gang allegation with labels that imply criminal conviction and concealment. Courts found no evidence linking him to MS-13 in the relevant proceedings, described him as having no criminal record, and documented his return to Maryland; the government nevertheless continued to publicly assert gang membership.

    Omits: The statement omits that a federal court found no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or terrorist activity, that he had no criminal record when the case began, and that he returned openly to Maryland after his release rather than hiding there.

    “He said it would be disrespectful to do that, but why is it disrespectful?”

    Trump said that taking Putin's call while other leaders were present would have been disrespectful to Putin.

    Contemporary reporting quoted Trump explaining that he did not take or place the call in front of the other leaders because he thought doing so would be disrespectful to Putin.
