The topic on which he was most often inaccurate was the economic system. Among different issues, Trump overstated the efficiency of the economic system throughout this presidential time period to this point, overstated the inflation he inherited from the Biden administration, used extremely deceptive figures when discussing gasoline costs, and wrongly asserted, twice, that overseas nations are paying the tariffs which might be truly being paid by US importers.

Trump repeated his common false declare that he has secured $18 trillion in investments in the US since returning to workplace, saying, “In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion pouring in from all over the globe.”
The $18 trillion determine is fiction. As of the evening of Trump’s handle, the White House’s personal web site mentioned the determine for “major investment announcements” throughout this Trump time period was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that could be a main exaggeration; a detailed NCS overview in October discovered the White House was counting trillions of {dollars} in imprecise funding pledges, pledges that have been about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” slightly than funding in the US and imprecise statements that didn’t even rise to the stage of pledges.

And whereas there are some particular person gasoline stations promoting gasoline for beneath $2 per gallon, they’re scarce; Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum evaluation for the agency GasBuddy, mentioned throughout the speech that the agency discovered simply 4 stations throughout the nation beneath $2 (apart from particular reductions) out of the roughly 150,000 stations the agency tracks, so about 0.003% of the complete.

In addition, Trump claimed, “And when I visited the great state of Iowa just a few weeks ago, I even saw $1.85 a gallon for gasoline.” We don’t know what Trump noticed, however the common value for a gallon of common gasoline in Iowa on the day of the January 27 speech was $2.57, in response to knowledge printed that day by AAA – and Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum evaluation for GasBuddy, advised NCS at the time that GasBuddy discovered simply 4 stations in the state promoting for $1.97 per gallon (apart from particular reductions) out of 2,036 complete stations the agency tracks, so 0.19% of the complete.
Trump was truth-checked on this topic by an attendee at the Iowa speech he was referring to. When he spoke of gasoline in Iowa being $1.95 or $1.85 per gallon, somebody in the crowd shouted, “No, $2.63,” in response to NCS reporter Steve Contorno, who was on scene. Contorno noticed that the gasoline station proper exterior the venue the place Trump spoke was promoting for $2.69 per gallon.

The 12 months-over-12 months inflation fee in Biden’s final full month in workplace, December 2024, was 2.9%, and the fee in the month in which Trump took over partway by, January 2025, was 3.0%; the most up-to-date fee, for January 2026, is 2.4%.

Regardless, the fee then fell sharply over Biden’s final two-and-a-half years in workplace.

Trump precisely touted declines in the costs of a small quantity of grocery merchandise or product classes throughout this presidency to this point, mentioning eggs, hen, butter and recent fruits. But he didn’t acknowledge that general grocery costs are up a mean 2.1% since January 2025, nor that much more grocery merchandise have gotten dearer throughout this presidency than have gotten cheaper.

The US economic system grew 2.2% in 2025, which was decrease than in any 12 months of the Biden presidency; there was 2.8% progress in 2024. (The fall 2025 authorities shutdown doubtless lowered progress in late 2025.) The unemployment fee, in the meantime, elevated from 4.0% in January 2025 to 4.3% in January 2026.
The complete quantity of jobs added in 2025, 181,000, was by far the lowest since 2020, the 12 months the Covid-19 pandemic hit; about 2.52 million jobs have been added in 2023 and about 1.46 million have been added in 2024.
The 12 months-over-12 months Consumer Price Index inflation fee did fall from 3.0% in January 2025 to 2.4% in January 2026, and Trump actually has another constructive knowledge factors to quote. But his story about taking the economic system from deceased to scorching is simply not supported by the general numbers.

Fact check: Trump falsely claims overseas nations are paying his tariffs
Trump repeated his common false declare that tariffs are “paid for by foreign countries.” In truth, tariff funds are made by importers in the US, not overseas nations, and people importers typically move on some of their prices to shoppers. While overseas exporters could typically drop their costs to attempt to hold their merchandise aggressive, varied analyses have discovered that the overwhelming majority of the prices of the tariffs Trump has imposed this time period are being lined by a mix of US companies and US shoppers.
In an evaluation launched in February, officers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.” The nonpartisan federal Congressional Budget Office wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent),” from a mix of value hikes by US companies which might be importing tariffed merchandise and value hikes by US companies which might be going through much less overseas competitors as a result of of the tariffs.

Economists say there are much better measures of the well being of the labor market.
The employment-inhabitants ratio, which measures the proportion of the inhabitants that’s employed, is down barely this presidential time period to date, going from 60.1% in January 2025, the month Trump returned to workplace, to 59.8% in January 2026. The unemployment fee, which measures unemployment as a proportion of the labor drive, has elevated, going from 4.0% in January 2025 to 4.3% in January 2026; it hit a 4-12 months excessive of 4.5% in November earlier than easing.

Fact check: Trump’s declare he handed largest tax cuts in American historical past
Trump as soon as once more claimed that the sweeping home coverage agenda that he signed into legislation final summer time contained the largest tax cuts in American historical past. But that isn’t truly the case.
The so-referred to as large, lovely invoice made quite a few everlasting and short-term modifications to the tax code, together with eliminating taxes on ideas and extra time, giving further tax aid to senior residents and fogeys of younger kids and permitting corporations to deduct sure investments extra shortly. The tax cuts quantity to $4.8 trillion, or 1.3% of the nation’s gross home product (GDP), over a decade, in response to the newest Congressional Budget Office evaluation, launched earlier this month.

It permits for comparisons throughout time regardless of shifts in inflation and inhabitants, for instance.) Similarly, the Tax Foundation, a proper-leaning assume tank, discovered that the invoice is the sixth largest tax reduce since 1940, in phrases of share of GDP.

Fact check: Trump already broke his promise to at all times shield Medicaid
Trump promised to “always protect” Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. But he has already damaged that promise on Medicaid, making large cuts to the security internet program final 12 months.
The “big, beautiful bill,” which Trump signed into legislation final summer time, slashed greater than $900 billion in federal funding over 10 years for Medicaid, in response to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The CBO estimated that the legislation’s Medicaid provisions would improve the quantity of uninsured Americans by 7.5 million in 2034.
Among the legislation’s most impactful provisions are necessities that sure in a position-bodied Medicaid enrollees ages 19 to 64 work, volunteer, attend faculty or take part in job coaching for at the least 80 hours a month. The mandate, the first of its type, additionally applies to folks of kids ages 14 and older.
In addition, low-revenue adults enrolled by the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid enlargement provision can have their eligibility reviewed extra often and must pay as much as $35 for sure care. Plus, many enrollees will face extra paperwork and verification necessities, which may make it tougher for some to use for and keep their advantages.
Medicaid enrollees may additionally face different modifications, since states would obtain much less federal funding for the program. This may drive some states to get rid of sure advantages or tighten enrollment, amongst different alterations.

Fact check: Trump falsely claims he achieved no tax on Social Security
Trump once more falsely claimed that he eradicated taxes on Social Security, one of his key marketing campaign guarantees in 2024.
“With the great ‘big, beautiful bill,’ we gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security,” he mentioned throughout his State of the Union handle on Tuesday.
The large home coverage bundle that Trump signed final summer time did create an extra, short-term $6,000-per-12 months tax deduction for people age 65 and older (with a smaller deduction for people incomes $75,000 per 12 months or extra). But as the White House itself has implicitly acknowledged, hundreds of thousands of Social Security recipients age 65 and older will proceed to pay taxes on their advantages – and that new deduction, which expires in 2028, doesn’t apply to the Social Security recipients who’re youthful than 65.

The annual funds deficit far exceeds the estimated quantity of cash the federal authorities loses to fraud annually.
A primary-of-its-type estimate that the federal Government Accountability Office launched in 2024 discovered that between $233 billion to $521 billion is misplaced to fraud yearly. But the federal funds deficit got here in at just below $1.8 trillion for the most up-to-date fiscal 12 months, which ended in September, in response to the Treasury Department – greater than triple the highest estimated fraud complete.

Fact check: Trump’s false declare that funds to service members got here from tariffs
Trump mentioned, “Every service member recently received a warrior dividend of $1,776,” then added, “We got the money from tariffs and other things.” But these one-time funds didn’t come from tariffs. Rather, as NCS’s Haley Britzky reported in December, “a senior administration official said the $2.6 billion cost of the bonuses was being taken from $2.9 billion in extra funding for basic allowance for housing, or BAH, payments appropriated by Congress in July.” The funding was half of Trump’s large home coverage invoice and marked for “improving the quality of life for military personnel.”

While criticizing the Biden administration’s border insurance policies, Trump repeated his common declare that the Biden administration allowed 11,888 murderers to enter the US as migrants – saying, “They were murderers, 11,888 murderers. They came into our country.”
Trump was inaccurately describing federal knowledge. The Department of Homeland Security and impartial specialists have famous that the determine it seems Trump was referring to when he makes use of the “11,888” quantity is about non-residents who entered the US not just below Biden however over the course of a number of many years, together with throughout Trump’s personal first administration. They have been convicted of murder sooner or later, often in the US after their arrival, and are nonetheless in the US whereas being listed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket” – which incorporates people who find themselves presently serving their jail sentences, not roaming free as Trump has additionally claimed.

Fact check: Trump falsely claims he ended eight wars
Trump repeated a well-recognized false declare about his function in overseas affairs: “My first 10 months, I ended eight wars.” While Trump has performed a task in resolving some conflicts (at the least briefly), the “eight” determine is a clear exaggeration.
Trump defined throughout the speech that his checklist of supposed wars settled features a battle between Egypt and Ethiopia, however that wasn’t truly a battle; it’s a lengthy-operating diplomatic dispute a couple of main Ethiopian dam mission on a tributary of the Nile River. Trump’s checklist additionally included one other supposed battle that didn’t truly happen throughout his presidency, between Serbia and Kosovo. (He has typically claimed to have prevented the eruption of a brand new battle between these two entities, offering few particulars about what he meant, however that’s totally different than settling an precise battle.) And his checklist included a battle involving the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, however that battle has continued regardless of a peace settlement brokered by the Trump administration in 2025 – which was by no means signed by the main insurgent coalition doing the combating.
Trump’s checklist additionally included an armed battle between Thailand and Cambodia, the place combating briefly erupted once more in December regardless of a peace settlement brokered by the Trump administration earlier in 2025.
One can debate the significance of Trump’s function in having ended the different conflicts on his checklist, or pretty query whether or not some have actually ended; for instance, killing continued in Gaza after the October ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, and Trump mentioned in the speech, “The war in Gaza, which proceeds at a very low level; it’s just about there.” Regardless, Trump’s “eight” determine is clearly too large.

Fact check: Trump’s declare about what Iran has mentioned about nuclear weapons
Trump mentioned of Iran, “We are in negotiations with them; they want to make a deal, but we haven’t heard those secret words: ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon.’”
We don’t know what representatives of Iran’s authorities have mentioned throughout the closed-door negotiations. However, Iranian officers have repeatedly mentioned in public feedback that they may by no means have a nuclear weapon. In truth, on Tuesday afternoon earlier than Trump’s handle, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on social media platform X: “Our fundamental convictions are crystal clear: Iran will under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon; neither will we Iranians ever forgo our right to harness the dividends of peaceful nuclear technology for our people.”
In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in September, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian mentioned, in response to a translation on the UN web site, “I hereby declare once more before this Assembly that Iran has never sought and will never seek to build a nuclear bomb.”
Trump is of course entitled to be skeptical of Iranian leaders’ phrases about the nation’s nuclear intentions, as many others round the world have been for years. But Trump’s declare right here was about their phrases, not their actions.

Fact check: Trump’s inaccurate claims about NATO
Trump repeated his declare that earlier than he prodded NATO members to spend extra on protection, the US was “paying for almost all of NATO.” That’s an exaggeration. NATO figures present that in 2016, the 12 months earlier than Trump took workplace the first time, US protection spending made up about 72% of complete NATO protection spending; in 2024, the 12 months earlier than he returned to workplace, it was about 63%. Both figures are large, of course, however “almost all” is a stretch” – and the US contributes a smaller proportion to NATO’s personal organizational funds. Under an agreed system, the US supplied about 16% of that funds at the time Trump returned to workplace in 2025. When he took workplace in 2017, the US was contributing about 22% of the funds.
In addition, Trump touted NATO members’ 2025 dedication to spend 5% of gross home product on protection-associated and safety-associated spending by 2035 – together with at the least 3.5% of GDP on the “core” protection necessities that have been lined by the earlier goal of 2% of GDP – saying they agreed “to pay 5% of GDP for military defense, rather than the 2% which they weren’t paying … Now they’re paying 5 (percent) as opposed to not paying 2 (percent).”
But most NATO members will not be but assembly the new greater goal, which, once more, they’ve given themselves a decade to fulfill. NATO estimates present that just three members, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, have been at or above 3.5% in core protection spending in 2025, although they could be joined by others in 2026.
“It’s absolutely not true that the Allies are currently ‘paying 5%’ on hard defense, and even by 2035 they’ve only committed to 3.5%, in terms of their defense budget conventionally-understood. As of mid-2025, *no* Ally is spending 5%, in fact not even 4.5%,” professor Erwan Lagadec, who leads the NATO and European Union research program at George Washington University’s worldwide affairs faculty, mentioned in a January e mail.
Lagadec added: “In 2025 the U.S. was ‘only’ at 3.2%, *down* from 2014 in terms of ratios to GDP (the only country in that situation). Hence the case can be made that the U.S. is now the ‘laggard’ going ‘in the wrong direction’; although of course the fact that the U.S. was spending a lower ratio in 2025 than 2014 on defense could be seen as a sign of success, i.e. the outcome of the other Allies doing more.”
Trump’s declare that “they weren’t paying” when the goal was 2% wants context. Although most NATO members weren’t hitting the 2% goal as late as 2023, a majority hit the goal in 2024; NATO figures present that 18 member nations have been at or above 2% out of 31 nations topic to the goal.

Elections and crime
Fact check: Trump’s a number of false claims about US elections
Trump made a fast-fireplace sequence of false claims about US elections whereas calling on Congress to move a invoice requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
Trump falsely claimed, “Cheating is rampant in our elections. It’s rampant.” It’s merely not; all proof suggests fraud makes up a minuscule proportion of votes forged. Trump referred to “crooked mail-in ballots”; the incidence of fraud can be tiny with mail-in ballots, although specialists say it’s barely greater than with in-individual voting, and there’s no foundation to categorically describe them as “crooked.”
He steered {that a} Republican elections invoice referred to as the SAVE America Act would utterly get rid of the use of mail-in ballots, however it wouldn’t. And Trump mentioned, “They have cheated, and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat.” That is a lie, as Democrats, like Republicans, are elected all the time in free and truthful US elections.

Fact check: Trump claims he inherited ‘rampant’ crime, however it was very low by historic requirements
Trump claimed that he inherited “rampant crime at home” from the Biden administration. There is not any agency definition of the phrase “rampant,” however crime was very low by historic US requirements at the time Trump returned to workplace in January 2025.
“The US violent crime rate in 2024 was the lowest since 1969 and the property crime rate was the lowest since 1961. Moreover, murder in the US fell at the fastest rate ever recorded in both 2023 and 2024 and was down 25 percent from 2020 levels,” mentioned crime knowledge professional Jeff Asher, co-founder of the agency AH Datalytics.
Murder spiked nationally amid the turmoil of the early phases of the Covid-19 pandemic, underneath each Trump in 2020 and Biden in 2021. But even earlier than the decline in violent crime in the second half of Biden’s presidency and in the first 12 months of Trump’s second presidency, crime charges have been nowhere close to what they have been in the early Nineteen Nineties and at varied factors of the Seventies and Nineteen Eighties.

Fact check: Trump’s two false claims about crime in Washington, DC
Trump claimed that after his takeover of legislation enforcement and deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC, final summer time, the capital is “now one of the safest cities in the country.” That’s not true. Nor is his declare that the capital has “almost no crime anymore,” as a cursory look at public knowledge or police press releases reveals; greater than 1,300 crimes have been reported in the final month.
Asher advised NCS in a February e mail: “DC crime fell substantially in 2025 but it was not anywhere near the safest city in America.”
Of the 50 largest cities tracked by Asher’s Real-Time Crime Index, he mentioned, “DC had the 9th highest murder rate and 12th highest violent crime rate in 2025 of the 50 largest cities in the Real-Time Crime Index.” Trump’s intervention occurred in August; in the interval operating from August by December 2025, Asher mentioned, “DC had the 18th highest murder rate and 17th highest violent crime rate.”
“Even in the post-intervention period, DC’s murder rate was more than 5 times higher than San Diego and San Jose and roughly 3 times higher than cities like San Francisco, New York, and Seattle,” he mentioned. And he added that crime in the capital was “falling considerably” previous to Trump’s Guard deployment, and continued to fall after the deployment, “in a way that is hard to determine the impact of the deployment itself.”
Trump may have precisely mentioned the capital has had some extended latest stretches with out a homicide; the Washington Post reported that it started the 12 months with a extremely uncommon three-week interval with no homicides. But that stretch ended January 21.

Fact check: Trump’s unproven declare on fraud in Minnesota
Trump repeated his declare that Somali residents of Minnesota have dedicated $19 billion in fraud, saying: “There’s been no more stunning example than Minnesota, where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer. We have all the information, and in actuality, the number is much higher than that.”
It’s potential this “$19 billion” determine will probably be confirmed true, however nothing near that determine has been confirmed to this point.
In December, a federal prosecutor, Joseph Thompson, claimed that “half or more” of $18 billion in federal funds billed by 14 Medicaid companies in Minnesota deemed at excessive threat for fraud – and now underneath a 3rd-celebration audit ordered by Gov. Tim Walz – could be fraudulent.
But $9 billion isn’t $19 billion, Thompson didn’t say all of the potential fraud was dedicated by Somali residents, and Walz’s administration challenged Thompson’s declare.
One Walz administration official mentioned in December that that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9 billion; Walz himself mentioned, “You should be equally outraged about $1 or whatever that number is, but they’re using that number without the proof behind it.” And Thompson – who resigned in January amid rigidity with the Trump administration over its dealing with of an ICE officer fatally capturing Renée Good – made clear at the time that the “half or more” remark was an early estimate slightly than a agency quantity.
