First the president said there were “a couple” states where gas was under $2 per gallon, then made it “three states,” then yesterday said “five states.”. It’s zero states. This has been a lie the whole time, even as the list gets longer and longer.

President Trump claims his big bill leaves Medicaid “the same.” It actually makes major changes, and major cuts, to Medicaid. President Trump claims not passing his big bill means a 68% tax increase. That figure is pure fiction even the White House didn’t try to defend.

President Trump is using repeated dishonesty to sell his big domestic policy bill - falsely saying it’ll leave Medicaid “the same” (it makes big changes and cuts), end tax on Social Security (it doesn’t), and prevent a 68% tax hike (fiction). Fact check:

#personalnews: You might notice a Toronto location tag when I’m on TV starting next week. I’m staying in the same job at CNN, so this post is boring even by the standards of these posts, but I wanted to tell you I moved back to my hometown yesterday to live near family. Longer.

I wrote a piece six years ago about how President Trump habitually discards accurate good-news numbers in favor of inaccurate bigger numbers he has invented.

A 97% drop in retail egg prices from the March peak of about $6.23 per dozen would mean eggs are now…about 21 cents. Prices fell in April, good news…but to about $5.12 per dozen, down about 18%. (It was about a 13% drop in seasonally adjusted CPI data.) Wholesale prices are.

I asked the spokesperson for the Stanford School of Medicine about this “very top of her medical class at Stanford” claim. The spokesperson said there are no rankings because they use a pass-fail system rather than grades.

CBC: President Trump blasted former PM Justin Trudeau for getting Russia expelled from the G8…except “the decision took place more than a year before Trudeau came to power” - under Conservative PM Stephen Harper, a vocal advocate of the move.

As President Trump meets with Prime Minister Carney, here's a fact check of 11 false claims Trump has made about Canada in 2025. For one, that "$200 billion" figure he just used again in a social media post is imaginary.

Trump said yesterday that gas prices are $1.88 in three states, “can you believe it?”. No, because prices weren’t close to $1.88 in any state. Trump posted today that gas prices are the “lowest in years.” . They’re higher than the day he was inaugurated.

Trump two weeks ago: Two states just hit $1.98 gas (not even close to true). Trump the day after that: Three states just hit $1.98 gas (not even close to true). Trump last night: Three states just hit $1.88 gas (not even close to true)

No, Trump did not warn voters during the campaign that his tariffs would require a “transition period.” He said they would make voters “so rich” and are “not going to be a cost to you,” with none of his current rhetoric about temporary issues. Fact check:

Asked for any evidence Trump actually did warn Americans during his campaign that his tariffs would require a “transition period,” the White House responded 10 hours later with a single quote….that Trump uttered a month after the campaign ended.

4 PM update: So far, the only examples anyone has been able to provide are imaginary quotes hallucinated by Grok AI.

In honor of @Fahrenthold, a crowdsource request:. President Trump said on ABC, when asked about concerns about prices rising from tariffs, that he'd said during his campaign that "you're gonna have a transition period.". Does anyone have any examples of such a warning from him on.

So much lying about so many things. Here’s a fact check of 100 separate false claims President Donald Trump made in his first 100 days back in office, sorted by category. (No, this is not a complete list.)

President Trump, who told Time he was speaking “figuratively” and “in jest” when he’d promised to end the war in Ukraine by his first 24 hours back in office, specifically emphasized during the campaign that he was speaking literally and seriously.

Trump lied to Time that he was clearly speaking “in jest” when he said he’d end the war in Ukraine on day one. Here are *53* times he promised, in a serious context and tone, that he’d have the war settled in 24 hours or even before he took office:

No, the price of eggs hasn’t fallen 93% since Trump came back in. No, the overall price of groceries isn’t down. No, there wasn’t any state, let alone three, where gas was $1.98 last week. The president has been lying about a bunch of prices. Fact check:
