    Always believe Trump:

    20% GDP Growth Claim: Trump claimed that the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would grow by 20%. Economists quickly labeled the statement "absurd," noting that such growth rates have not been seen since World War II and do
    not align with actual economic pacing.

    Control of the Strait of Hormuz: Amid renewed hostilities with Iran, Trump asserted that the U.S. has "total control" over the Strait of Hormuz, a claim later softened to "almost total control". Regional actors and experts
    disputed the assertion, pointing out that Iran continues to actively contest control and navigate the vital waterway.


    Contradicting His Own Administration on Iran Casualties: Trump publicly corrected Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—who falsely claimed on CNBC that no U.S. forces had died in the conflict with Iran—by clarifying that 18
    people had actually been killed.


    State of the Economy and Employment: Trump repeated assertions that prices
    are dropping rapidly and that employment levels are at historic highs with
    low unemployment. Fact-checkers and economic data counter that job growth has slowed sharply and everyday consumer costs remain high.
