Evidence (2024-02-01): Trump stands alone for the share of rated claims that are some degree of false. About 76% of his statements earned ratings of Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire. The median rating for his 1,000 checks is False. [...] "People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole," Trump wrote. "It's an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion." [...] He talks a lot — in TV interviews, on social media, at campaign rallies that stretch for nearly two hours. As president, Trump made Twitter essential reading, before the social media platform exiled him after the Capitol riot. Of the tweets we checked, about 79% rated Mostly False or lower. So far, on his Truth Social platform, we have not yet rated a claim higher than Mostly False.

Claim: Claims Steve Harvey made a long statement calling President Donald Trump "the only guy who seems to understand what the people want." (Viral Post, 2019-07-26)
Evidence (2017-02-24): It’s true that Trump — who once cited the National Enquirer as a credible news source worthy of a Pulitzer to back up his bogus conspiracy theory of Ted Cruz’s father being linked to Lee Harvey Oswald — added the "FAKE" qualifier to his comment. But he cast a wide net when explaining which news outlets he considered to be "fake news," including the New York Times, NBC News, ABC News, CBS News and CNN. [...] Trump may have been referring to riots that broke out in a predominantly immigrant neighborhood of Stockholm on Feb. 20, which included rock throwing at police, looting and 10 cars being torched. (Contrary to Trump’s claim, though, it was widely reported.) [...] Trump referred to people who had their "health care … taken away from them." In 2013, some Americans received cancellation notices for their specific individual market plans that no longer met minimum benefit requirements under the ACA. An Urban Institute study and survey from December 2013 estimated the number getting such notices at 2.6 million. A RAND Corporation study from 2015 found that "the vast majority of those with individual market insurance in 2013 remained insured in 2015, which suggests that even among those who had their individual market policies canceled, most found coverage through an alternative source."

Evidence (2017-04-29): Show claims about made [...] This is a flip-flop of an earlier flip-flop. Less than a week before he made this claim, Trump said he would not release any guidelines on rewriting the tax code until a new health-care bill passes -- which was a flip-flop from when he said he would pursue a tax code overhaul rather than move forward with a health-care bill. [...] Trump indicated that he wasn’t sure if this assertion is correct. It is not. The public’s trust in the media has certainly fallen over the years. But a 2016 Gallup poll shows that Congress is viewed positively by 9 percent of respondents, compared with 20 percent for newspapers and 21 percent for television. That’s not a high confidence level — besides Congress, only "big business" ranks lower than the media — but it’s enough to make Trump’s claim incorrect.

Evidence (2022-06-20): Donald Trump is the Emmanuel Goldstein (the designated principal enemy of the totalitarian state Oceania in Orwell’s 1984) of the movement. But minor public enemies are legion. Anyone harboring "Trumpist" inclinations is suspect, hence the widespread calls for "deprogramming" Trump’s supporters, who are routinely said to be "marching toward sedition." [...] Donald Trump’s accomplishments as president were nothing less than stunning. Trump was, and is, a rude force of nature. He accomplished an immense amount. But he lacked one thing. Some say it was self-discipline or finesse. I agree with a friend of mine who suggested that Trump’s critical flaw was a deficit in guile. That sounds odd, no doubt, since Trump is supposed to be the tough guy who mastered "the art of the deal." But I think my friend is probably right. Trump seems never to have discerned what a viper’s nest our politics has become for anyone who is not a paid-up member of The Club. Maybe Trump understands this now. I have no insight into that question. I am pretty confident, though, that the 74 plus million people who voted for him understand it deeply. It’s another reason that The Club should be wary of celebrating its victory too expansively.

I grant that Trump is in many ways a very special kind of character, but I think we also tend to exaggerate that."

Evidence (2023-06-23): When Garth Brooks took the stage at the 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree in Hambriston, the famous farm of the Barron Cattle Empire, he didn’t expect to leave in shame under two minutes later. "For 22 years, Garth Brooks has been the headliner of this event," said a sad Toby Keith after Brooks was booed offstage, "but we really can’t keep pretending he’s not playing for the other side." Toby Keith is correct, patriots. Garth Brooks left the real country scene the day he decided to play a set in Central Park. He thought he would attract his fans from the surrounding rural areas, but instead, he learned liberals just love him.

Evidence (2023-06-27): On Sunday, Greg Abbott retweeted a story with the headline "Garth Brooks Booed Off Stage at 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree," published by an outlet called the Dunning-Kruger Times. "Flagg Eagleton – Patriot"—the story’s author—wrote that Brooks made it only two minutes into his twenty-second annual headlining set at the storied event in Hambriston, Texas, before the boos started from fans. The story quotes conservative country star Toby Keith as saying that Brooks is "playing for the other side." Abbott’s commentary added the trenchant analysis, "Go woke. Go broke. Garth called his conservative fans ‘assholes.’ Good job Texas." [...] Garth Brooks began the twenty-first century with few worlds left to conquer. Shortly before his first appearance in Hambriston, Brooks announced his retirement upon the release of his eighth album, Scarecrow, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. Brooks would come out of retirement each and every year, of course, to headline the festival in Hambriston. Shortly before appearing for the twenty-second time, Brooks discussed his new bar, which will be opening this summer—and serving the somehow-controversial beer Bud Light, noting that "there are plenty of other places for ‘assholes’ to drink." That brings us to last weekend, when Brooks was subjected to a torrent of boos. The 2024 edition of the festival will be headlined by Briscoe Cain, the Republican representative from Deer Park, who will spend his performance blowing into a jug and wearing a large hat.
