FactChecking Trump’s Address to Congress

In his first address to a joint session of Congress in his second term, President Donald Trump distorted the facts on fraud, immigration, aid to Ukraine, the economy, autism and more.

So glad you’re doing this fact-checking! We need this!

[gingerbreadman]

Thank-you FactCheck, we Americans really appreciated your work. As soon as I am able, my check will be in the mail.

crazy how many people will never see this

[dmdcykey]

Concise, detailed, calm and collected, and to the point. This was superb work, thank you.

[freakoftechno]

And it's perfectly legal for him to spew all this shit to the people who are too ignorant to do a simple 15 second Google search.

[dr.m.hfuhruhurr]

Outstanding, astute, pertinent and essential. Well done. Thank you very much!

But wasn't it nice when he did that make-a-wish cancer kid a favor, while at the same time deregulating PFAS-- a cancer-causing chemical, and cutting funding to cancer research. Trump is disgusting.

Sent this to my old MAGA conservative Dad immediately. 😄

[mikemyers]

Sadly, even if I could get my MAGA friends to watch this, they would not believe it. Thanks for this new format.

Why is it necessary for that idiot to constantly exaggerate and lie??

[JADORE]

He makes me sick! I can't stand looking at him or hearing that Voice!

[jvaish]

Man, he's not sounding good. Old age catches up with everyone. Hopefully, he'll be gone sooner than later.

[melaniel]

Why sugar coat it? "Distorted"? No, not distorted, but absolute lies.

[disciprine]

I guess these guys are going to be quite busy the next 4 years

[mikiinajijic]

Remember during the campaign neither trump nor vance wanted to be fact checked in their debates. We saw video footage of them saying that.

[chadmccoy]

Sometimes I think Steven Miller writes all that crazy shit out just to see if he will say it.

[wookinooki]

Fact checking a 100-minute speech of Donald Trump should not lead to a 7-minute video.😂😂😂

[_RiseAgainst]

Trump's speech is more of a good feeling noise than actual useful or meaningful information. Kind of like a fight song.

[bvssrsguntur]

Can state what are facts in his speech

[JuanGonzales-ec]

Look up the definition of the word "perhaps". It implies uncertainty, meaning that he thought it was a possibility but did not know for sure. You're incorrect when you say he wrongly said "perhaps" about something. He explicitly indicated that he wasn't sure, which is the truth.
