During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Trump made several inaccurate statements regarding the war in Ukraine. He falsely claimed that Russia failed to quickly conquer Kyiv in 2022 because of a decision to use muddy ground instead of highways. This assertion contradicts established facts, as Russian forces did attempt to use roads and highways, facing significant resistance and logistical challenges. Trump also reiterated his inaccurate claim about ending or solving multiple wars, which is contradicted by historical precedent.

Attorney General Pam Bondi equated Antifa to the MS-13 gang, citing claims from MAGA influencers to support her statement, as well as comments from other administration officials. President Trump previously signed an executive order designating Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” Republicans have also linked the anti-fascist movement to protests, with some officials claiming Antifa is responsible for violence and chaos.

The Supreme Court has declined to hear Alex Jones’ appeal of the $1.4 billion judgment against him, stemming from his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax. Jones, who was found liable for defaming and inflicting emotional distress upon the victims’ families, argued that he should have been granted a trial before a judge issued a default judgment against him. The court’s rejection means the massive judgment, awarded by a Connecticut jury in 2022, will stand, alongside a nearly $50 million judgment from a Texas court.

The topic, as expected, is that the portrayal of Portland by, and information sourced from, Donald Trump is “completely disconnected from the truth.” It’s almost a given at this point, isn’t it? You could swap out Portland for virtually any city, any policy, any person, and the headline would still ring true. Trump’s relationship with reality is… tenuous at best.
The core of the issue is simple: Trump is painting a picture of Portland that doesn’t align with what’s actually happening there. It’s a pattern we’ve seen time and time again. Whether it’s fueled by a deliberate attempt to mislead, a reliance on biased news sources, or a genuine disconnect from the world outside his own perspective, the result is the same: misinformation.… Continue reading
While President Trump’s core personality traits remain constant, a new concern arises: the uncertain reality informing his decisions. Trump has portrayed Portland as war-torn, despite evidence suggesting otherwise, which contrasts with his descriptions. His reliance on sources, like Fox News, has been documented, and in this case, the network broadcast segments that may have sparked his interest in the city. The potential for manipulation through AI-generated content is particularly concerning, as Trump has demonstrated susceptibility to such deceptive materials, raising questions about what else is influencing his perception of reality.

President Trump has consistently claimed to have secured trillions in investment in the US, but these figures appear to be inflated. The White House’s own numbers, totaling $8.8 trillion, are themselves questionable, and a CNN review of the top commitments reveals significant discrepancies. For instance, supposed investments from the EU, Saudi Arabia, and India are often not firm commitments or investment in the US, but rather goals, trade agreements, or vague pledges. Experts caution that corporate pledges likely include normal operational spending, making the claimed figures inaccurate.

In a recent social media post, Donald Trump falsely claimed that the “Biden FBI” placed agents within the crowd during the January 6th attack on the Capitol. This statement echoes long-standing conspiracy theories, despite investigations and reports, including one released in December 2024 by the Justice Department inspector general, which found no evidence of FBI undercover employees in the protest crowds. The inspector general’s report did identify 26 confidential sources, with some tasked to report on potential domestic terrorists. The former president’s claims appear to confuse the number of agents sent to respond to the developing crisis, and are contrary to facts.

President Donald Trump and his administration have been portraying Portland, Oregon, as a city consumed by lawlessness, a depiction refuted by local residents and elected officials. Trump has made false claims about widespread fires and businesses being rebuilt with plywood, contradicting the reality of peaceful protests and daily life. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Portland officials of covering up the alleged chaos, drawing ridicule and counter-evidence from Senator Ron Wyden and City Council member Angelita Morillo.
