President Trump has repeatedly made false or misleading claims in pursuing an aggressive agenda in the first weeks of his second term. Here's a fact-check on his remarks ahead of his address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Trump has frequently touted tariffs as a historical key to American wealth, notably saying at CPAC on February 22, 2025, that the U.S. was richest from 1870 to 1913 due to tariffs on foreign countries "that took our jobs and money.
Such mealy-mouthed terminology. Trump has been reliably false and misleading (aka a liar) throughout his recorded existence. Calling his illegal, inhumane, racist, sexist machinations an "aggressive agenda" might be the euphemism of the century. This is why your reputation mirrors his poll numbers.
STOP FACT-CHECKING THIS KNOWINGLY COMPULSIVE LIAR AND JUST STOP PRINTING ANY OF IT! You only enable him to do more of it because of the attention he gets from it.
I won't even scroll through the comments but I can GUAR-AN-FREAKING-TEE that there's whole lot of "Say the word lie!"
The fact checking isn't enough. The emotional ones want to see the word "lie." And they never stop to think WHY the word isn't used.
Why do Democrats lose?
Feeeeeelings.
It sucks
I honestly don’t think your paper understands the depths of anger and despair that tens of millions of us feel. There are protests around the country today that you don’t seem to be covering. We worry about losing our democracy, health care, and retirement. You are missing the zeitgeist.
By now we all know that trump speaks no truth
He is a disgrace as a leader of men and a human being.
His downfall will be witnessed by all and relished by those he has fucked over. A special place in Hell will be waiting for him.
This doesn't even come close to the number or depravity of the lies Trump has told and keeps telling, with an ever-widening chasm between reality and his dystopian fantasy world.
Trump is doing to the economy
What DOGE is doing to government services and institutions destroying all
That Americans depend on, without regard for consequences…
“Dems should sit in silence, in protest of the mockery Trump has made of the legislative branch, in protest of the subversion of law and the trampling of norms he has enabled in a few short weeks. Most of all, in protest of the authoritarianism he is ushering in.”- Julie Roginsky 🤔🤔
Congratulations USA, you have just become a part of the Russian Regime. This is what voting for a Russian Asset has brought to your doorstep. Each & every day the restrictions are mounting & the freedoms are declining. Up next will likely be MAJOR changes to the almighty 2nd to keep you all in line.
Not again! I just escaped that shit in the 80s. 😔 I guess, I better start dusting up my Russian so to not offend our new overlords. Don't want be thrown out of a window.
Why the hell doesn’t somebody stand up to the MORON and say NO? Everybody just goes along, talks about it but nobody puts their foot down and says NO! Somebody better put guard rails down
Before the idiot destroys this country! He is doing things Unhinged!
NYT….. let’s be completely honest and stop saying “false claims and mislead claims” when Trump speaks. Let’s just say it out loud… TRUMP LIES/LIED. HES SO FULL OF SHIT HE HAS TO WEAR A DIAPER
He has to destroy America before the midterms so be must be aggressive as the courts are slowing him down but the Republicans are doing nothing to protect the people!
Just a simple, real-time, fact-check of the lies the president is sure to flog the audience with in the first 1/2 hour or so of his address might be the best Dem response. Clip, response, clip, response, etc.
As you said last night, I have been trying to decide whether he was lying about tariffs to get votes, or he was actually that stupid. Now we know. He really is that stupid!!
“President Trump has repeatedly lied in pursuing his illegal agenda in the first weeks of his second term. Here's a list of his lies we expect on Tuesday night.
Republicans need to do something about his continuous breaking of laws.”
"#Trump has repeatedly made false or misleading claims", or as we say outside of the context of a head of state, has been persistently and notoriously lying.
Hey Rich?
Do you read the NYT bro?
Ever take a look at their Op-Eds / Analysis?
Ever see the word the word "lie" there?
Sure you have.
So maybe there's a freaking REASON it's not used in editorial?
Think it through Rich. You'll be better for it.
TV should have comedic pop-up bubbles in real time fact checking him on his lies tonight. But the media won't they will show it, let him lie and argue/cry about it afterwards.
The NYT persists in implying there is an expectation of truth from Trump. That presumption should have disappeared long ago. They are no longer honoring the position of President by continuing in this very harmful fantasy.
It isn’t surprising that the new Fed gov and its supporters commit out and out fraud. According to information posted today by the LegalEagle Team, DOGE itself is the BIGGEST fraud in the current Fed gov. and MUCH of the “data” presented by the Fed gov has been falsified.
Even Musk and the simpletons operating computer systems in DOGE are unqualified to the point of not even comprehending FACTUAL computer science standards such as ISO8601, which even high school students are aware of from ACTUAL computer science textbooks.

They're called LIES, not "false or misleading claims".
