He was elected the 45th president of the United States on Nov. 8, 2016.  He has been a real estate developer, entrepreneur and host of the NBC reality show, "The Apprentice."

Context: a Phoenix rally
Fact-check justification: Trump said, "Because of Obamacare, you have so many part-time jobs." While some research suggests a small uptick in the number of part-time jobs as a result of the Affordable Care Act, Trump’s  goes too far. Neither the data nor the experts (on the right and left) say Trump’s  is accurate. We rate Trump’s  .   https://www.sharethefacts.co/share/26f81290-72f4-4dea-ac40-ab595a476385

Speaker: charlie crist
About the speaker: Charlie Crist lost the race for Florida governor as the Democratic candidate in 2022. He served as a U.S. congressman from St. Petersburg since 2017 and resigned Aug. 31, 2022 to focus on his campaign.  As a Republican, Crist served as governor from 2007 to 2011. Crist left the Republican Party in 2010 to mount a campaign for the U.S. Senate as an independent. Crist lost the race to Marco Rubio. In 2012, he endorsed President Barack Obama and announced that he had registered as a Democrat. He lost his race as a Democratic candidate for governor in 2014.

Topics: oil spill
Context: a speech at the Florida Association of Counties conference
Fact-check justification: And he did go on to expand the emergency declaration to include 20 more counties within a month. On the other hand, of the four states closest to the oil disaster, Florida is still the only state with a limited emergency area. And, unlike Jindal, Crist did not immediately seek financial help from the federal government. Crist's initial emergency proclamation was timely and he did continue to expand it. But given that he didn't immediately reach out for federal dollars and that other gulf governors beat him to the punch by issuing broad state of emergency proclamations from the beginning -- we give him a .
Statement: Amendments (Hillary Clinton) supported and voted for in 2006, she no longer supported in 2008," showing she changed positions on an India nuclear deal.
Speaker: peter schweizer
About the speaker: Peter Schweizer is a political consultant and author of the book "Clinton Cash."
Date: May 1, 2015
Topics: candidate biography;nuclear;voting record;punditfact
Context: an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell
Fact-check justification: Schweizer said, "Amendments (Hillary Clinton) supported and voted for in 2006, she no longer supported in 2008," showing she changed positions on an India nuclear deal. We know Clinton voted for several amendments on Indian nuclear deal-related legislation in 2006. The 2008 legislation, however, had just one amendment, and the vote was not recorded. Because we don’t know how she voted, and she did not make any public statements about it, it’s impossible to know her position on the 2008 amendment. Additionally, the 2008 amendment was fundamentally different than any of the amendments the Senate considered in 2006. Even if we knew whether she supported the 2008 amendment, it wouldn’t necessarily show a change in position.  What’s more, Clinton showed public support for a deal in 2006, and she voted in favor of the deal in both 2006 and 2008. We rate Schweizer’s  .
Statement: Health care reform plans being consided in Congress "will finally reduce the costs of health care.
Speaker: barack obama
About the speaker: Barack Obama is the former president of the United States. Obama also served as a U.S. senator from Illinois. He was born in 1961 in Hawaii, where his parents met as students at the University of Hawaii. Obama's father is from Kenya and his mother is from Kansas. He graduated from Columbia University and received his law degree from Harvard Law School. Obama previously served in the Illinois state Senate and was an instructor at the University of Chicago Law School. He and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Topics: health care
Context: remarks at the White House
Fact-check justification: But when it comes to cutting health care expenditures, it's a little trickier. According to CMS, spending is expected to rise slightly (0.7 percent), due to adding some 33 million more people to the insured ranks. Obama can make a case that in the later years of the 10-year projection, the rate of growth for health care expenditures would be somewhat slowed. But in attempting to simpify the issue, saying that the plan would reduce the cost of health care,  we think Obama sacrifices some accuracy. And so we rate his statement .

Context: Northwest Austin
Fact-check justification:   Yard signs posted in opposition to a proposed Northwest Austin redevelopment say: "500 percent more traffic?"   Traffic studies filed in 2014 based on the developer’s original proposal support the 500-percent figure, yet the developer later submitted a revised plan and its May 2015 traffic analysis suggests at most a 381 percent increase in daily car trips, still a substantial spike.   Perhaps the project and predicted traffic effects will continue to change. For now, taking into account the information available when the signs were made, we rate the  .  – The statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information.

Statement: The next state budget will begin with a surplus of over half a billion dollars -- $535 million to be exact.
Speaker: scott walker
About the speaker: Scott Walker, a Republican, is the former governor of Wisconsin. He was first elected in November 2010. He survived a recall election in 2012, defeating Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett after igniting controversy with a bill curtailing public-employee union collective-bargaining rights.  He won re-election to a four-year term in November 2014 and was a 2016 presidential candidate before dropping out in September of 2015. He was defeated by Tony Evers in the 2018 gubernatorial election. Walker is a former Milwaukee County executive and former member of the state Assembly.

Topics: state budget
Context: a debate
Fact-check justification: But the governor is seeking to have it both ways, trumpeting the bureau’s method when it suits him and rejecting it when it does not. The numbers will change again when the Fiscal Bureau updates its report in early 2015. Our rating Walker told debate viewers: "The next state budget will begin with a surplus of over half a billion dollars -- $535 million to be exact." That rosy number flies in the face of the official estimate that uses a long-established method used by members of both parties, and the governor’s budget office. We rate the  .

Context: a Facebook post
Fact-check justification: PolitiFact has dug into and debunked multiple claims that Rich was murdered because he gave former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails to WikiLeaks. And as we’ve previously reported , Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report in 2019 made clear that Rich wasn’t the source. Rather, the report concluded that Russia hacked the Democratic party’s servers and passed that material to WikiLeaks. The case of Rich, who was shot in the back and killed, is unsolved, but police have said they believe he died in an attempted robbery .   We rate claims that Rich’s identity is now breaking news .
Statement: Seven years later, (Scott Walker) has not hit his first campaign promise of creating 250,000 jobs.
Speaker: mark pocan
About the speaker: Mark Pocan was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2nd Congressional District on Nov. 6, 2012. He is from Madison and previously served as a Democratic member of the Wisconsin state Assembly.

Topics: economy;jobs
Context: a speech at the state Democratic convention
Fact-check justification: Our rating At the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s state convention, Pocan said, "Seven years later, (Scott Walker) has not hit his first campaign promise of creating 250,000 jobs." Pocan is right to say Walker hasn’t hit his first campaign promise. In 2014, we rated Walker’s campaign pledge as a Promise Broken. The number of jobs created still falls short of that promise. We rate Pocan’s statement .
Statement: Says Donald Trump supports "an agenda out there" to privatize the Veterans Affairs health care system.

She is formerly a U.S. senator from New York, first elected in 2000. She was a candidate for president in 2008. She previously served as first lady when her husband, Bill Clinton, served two terms as president.

Context: the NBC Commander-In-Chief Forum
Fact-check justification: Clinton said Donald Trump supports privatizing the Veterans Affairs health care system. Trump does support allowing more privatized care in cases where treatment at the VA is delayed or inadequate. In some cases he's talked about giving veterans a choice that would include doctors and hospitals outside the system. But that's not the same as privatizing the system, which would get the get the government out of the treatment business. Trump has never proposed that. Because Clinton's statement contains some element of  but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, we rate it . https://www.sharethefacts.co/share/9e782bf2-269d-45f2-9c69-c527093c99f2
Statement: The reality is, we are holding some of the most dangerous terrorists in the world right now in our federal prisons, including the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 'shoe bomber,' the 'Unabomber,' and many others.

About the speaker: Dick Durbin in the senior U.S. senator from Illinois and the Democratic majority whip.
Date: May 20, 2009
Location: national
Topics: terrorism
Context: a speech on the Senate floor
Fact-check justification: Democrats such as Durbin say facilities like the one in Florence are well-suited for detainees from Guantanamo Bay. "Some of my Republican colleagues argued that Guantanamo is the only appropriate place to hold the detainees because 'we don’t have a facility that could handle this in the United States' and American corrections officers would 'have no idea what they are getting into,'" Durbin said. "They ought to take a look at some of our secured facilities in the United States and they ought to have a little more respect for the men and women who are corrections officers." As for Durbin's , it appears he did his homework. Given that all the terrorists he named in his statement are in fact held in the United States, we find his statement .

Topics: food safety;facebook fact-checks;coronavirus
Context: a Facebook post
Fact-check justification: A statement shared on Facebook said: "Poll Finds 38% of Americans Say They Will Not Drink Corona Beer Because of Virus." The poll was of American beer drinkers, not Americans overall. Other details of this "poll" — including the specific question asked — are unknown, so it’s difficult to say beer drinkers wouldn’t drink Corona beer because of the virus, or some other reason. We rate the statement .

Context: the State of the Union address
Fact-check justification: Obama said women "make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns." It's worth noting that the entire 77-cent gap is not necessarily due to discrimination -- a conclusion some listeners might have drawn when hearing Obama mention "equal pay for equal work" shortly after citing the 77-cent figure. And there are alternative calculations that show a smaller overall gap. Still, the 77-cent ratio is a credible figure from a credible agency. We rate the  .
Statement: Marco Rubio controlled funds that "out of the $600,000 that were raised, only $4,000 went to candidates to try to improve their chances to be elected to office.

Context: a debate on Fox News Sunday
Fact-check justification: Rubio has said the minivan charge was for damage to his car that occurred at a political event, and the hair charges also included items for a silent auction event that he ended up paying for himself. Here, we're ruling on Crist's statement that "out of the $600,000 that were raised, only $4,000 went to candidates to try to improve their chances to be elected to office." He's right about the $4,000. But he arrives at the $600,000 number by conflating two separate funds, one of which was not permitted to give to candidate campaigns. So we rate Crist's statement .
Statement: Nobody on Medicaid" will have their benefits taken away.
Speaker: kevin mccarthy
About the speaker: Kevin McCarthy, who was first elected in 2006, is a Republican member of Congress representing a district in California. McCarthy was elected as House Speaker in January 2023.
Date: May 4, 2017
Location: national
Topics: health care;medicaid
Context: CNN
Fact-check justification: McCarthy said, "We’re not taking a benefit away. Nobody on Medicaid is going to be taken away." Technically, the bill passed in the House would not directly strip Medicaid coverage from people who currently have it. It would ultimately be up to states to take away Medicaid coverage from current beneficiaries. But the House bill, if enacted in its present form, would at the very least force some states to pull out of Medicaid expansion due to trigger laws that would go into effect if the federal contribution dries up. Blaming the states rather than the House bill for the loss of Medicaid coverage amounts to an exercise in blame-shifting. More broadly, the CBO, health policy experts and governors have warned that the federal Medicaid cuts in the Republican plan would start a domino effect that ends with millions of people covered under expanded Medicaid losing their benefits. We rate the statement .
Statement: Says Hillary Clinton "couldn't bring herself to say we need to separate commercial banking and speculative banking, namely reinstating Glass-Steagall.
Speaker: martin o'malley

Topics: financial regulation
Context: comments on the Daily Show
Fact-check justification: O’Malley said that Clinton "couldn't bring herself to say we need to separate commercial banking and speculative banking, namely reinstating Glass-Steagall." Clinton’s Wall Street reform plan does not say it would reimpose Glass-Steagall, and she’s repeatedly downplayed the idea that it should be revived. However, Clinton argues that her alternative course would be more comprehensive and effective than simply reimposing the old law. O’Malley’s  is accurate but needs additional context, so we rate it .
Statement: Says that as Wisconsin governor, "we ended welfare.
Speaker: tommy thompson
About the speaker: Tommy Thompson, a Republican, was a 2012 candidate for the U.S. Senate from Wisconsin. He served as governor of Wisconsin from 1987 until 2001, when he left office to become President George W. Bush's secretary of health and human services. He previously spent 20 years in the Wisconsin Assembly. Thompson briefly ran for president, withdrawing in 2007.

Topics: welfare
Context: a campaign announcement video
Fact-check justification: Thompson declared that as governor, "we ended welfare." His W-2 program didn't eliminate every program that might be considered a handout. But it did end the entitlement program most commonly known as welfare, replacing it with one that requires nearly all recipients to work for their benefits. We rate Thompson's statement .

Context: a press release
Fact-check justification: The Democratic Party said more than 1 million Texans live without affordable health care because Perry failed to "partner with the Legislature to find a Texas solution to closing the coverage gap." Per the latest estimates, it’s safe to say around a million Texas adults fall into the coverage gap for making too little money to qualify for insurance subsidies and also remaining ineligible for Medicaid unless Texas expands access as encouraged by the Obamacare law and rejected by Perry and the state’s ruling Republicans. Less certain is what kind of care is available to those people in the gap and how affordable it might be for them.

Statement: Already, the mayor of Green Bay is having ribbon-cutting after ribbon-cutting for economic development around the new VA center.
Speaker: steve kagen
About the speaker: Democrat Steve Kagen of Appleton is a former member of the U.S. House. Until being defeated by Republican Reid Ribble in 2010, he represented Wisconsin's 8th District seat. The district, covering the Green Bay area is considered a swing seat. It previously had been held by Republican Mark Green, who left it in a failed bit for governor.

Context: Clinton, Iowa
Fact-check justification: But that quote is pulled from a story in which Obama expresses a sentiment that now that the war has started, the U.S. should do the best job it can to steer Iraq toward stability. Obama joined the U.S. Senate in 2005. He has voted several times to continue funding for the war, saying that troops in Iraq should be funded even if he disagreed with the overall war. (The measure passed 97 to zero.) In recent months, like other Democratic candidates, he has voted in favor of troop withdrawals and other measures to bring the war to a conclusion.

Fact-check justification: In a TV interview, Lance claimed: "The Senate has not passed a budget in more than three years, not a good budget, not a bad budget, no budget." The congressman’s  is solid, given that the Senate has not passed a budget resolution since April 29, 2009. Congress has taken other steps to spend federal dollars and set certain budgetary guidelines, but that resolution represents a plan to guide future budgetary decisions. We rate the statement .
