squistion 2,670 Posted October 9 https://x.com/ddale8/status/1976373005438550392 President Trump littered his Cabinet meeting today with false claims about vaccines and other subjects. A quick fact check: No, there’s no link between vaccines and autism. The CDC website still notes that this idea has been debunked. No, babies aren’t given vaccines twice the size of a glass of water. The dose size is a fraction of a *teaspoon.* No, babies aren’t given 82 vaccines in a single shot. Babies don’t get 82 vaccines in total, let alone in one injection. No, there is no separate measles vaccine available to Americans. No, it’s not true the Amish categorically reject vaccines or pills, or that there is no autism in Amish communities. No, each alleged Venezuelan drug boat doesn’t kill 25,000 Americans. That number makes no sense at all. No, Trump isn’t cutting drug prices by 500% or more. That number makes no mathematical sense. No, Trump wasn’t the rightful winner of the 2020 election. No, Trump hasn’t settled eight wars. His list includes an ongoing Egypt-Ethiopia diplomatic dispute that wasn’t a war, a mystery recent Serbia-Kosovo situation that also wasn’t a recent war, and a war involving Rwanda and the DRC that hasn't actually ended. No, Trump’s big domestic policy law didn’t eliminate tax on Social Security benefits; it temporarily increases the standard deduction for seniors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squistion 2,670 Posted December 7 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-20-trillion-new-us-investments-numbers-dont-add-up/ Trump touts over $20 trillion in new U.S. investments, but the numbers don't add up President Trump has made increasingly sweeping claims about new investments flowing into the United States, citing figures as high as $21 trillion since taking office. "Twenty-one trillion dollars will be the amount invested in the United States — or committed to invest — in one year," the president said in a November meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In an Oval Office event this Wednesday, President Trump said, "In 10 months, we have $18 trillion being invested." But a CBS News review found no evidence that total commitments or new investments approach the scale the president has cited. While companies and foreign governments have announced large-scale projects since Mr. Trump's inauguration, the White House has not provided documentation showing total investments approaching $21 trillion — an amount roughly two-thirds of the annual GDP. The administration's own list of major investments "made possible by President Trump's leadership" totaled $9.6 trillion as of the latest update in November, but even that figure is exaggerated. It includes some investments announced under President Biden and trade goals that the U.S. is also partially responsible for. The White House did not directly respond to CBS News' questions about these inclusions or the discrepancies between the administration's total and the much higher figures the president has claimed in his remarks. "President Trump's dealmaking has secured trillions in investments to make and hire in America, trillions in commercial opportunities for American companies, and trillions in new export opportunities," White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement. Federal data shows corporate investment levels are roughly in line with last year, with companies on track to invest over $5 trillion in 2025. The $20 trillion surge Mr. Trump has claimed does not appear in the available data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squistion 2,670 Posted December 18 https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/politics/fact-check-trump-prime-time-address Fact check: Trump repeats numerous false claims in prime-time address President Donald Trump made a series of false claims during his prime-time address from the White House on Wednesday night, most of which have been debunked before. Here is a fact check of some of his assertions. Inflation and the economy Inflation under Trump: Near the end of the speech, Trump falsely claimed, “Inflation is stopped.” Inflation hasn’t stopped; the most recent available year-over-year inflation rate at the time he spoke on Wednesday, 3.0% in September, was the same as the rate when Trump returned to office in January – in fact, if you go to multiple decimal places, the September rate was a tiny bit higher – and September was the fifth consecutive month the year-over-year rate had increased. The year-over-year November rate released the morning after Trump’s speech was 2.7%, but that means prices are rising less quickly than they were in September, not that inflation ceased. (The October number wasn’t calculated because of the government shutdown, which also impacted the government’s data collection in November.) Inflation under Biden: Trump repeated his false claim that “when I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country.” The year-over-year inflation rate in the last full month of the Biden administration, December 2024, was 2.9%; it was 3.0% in January 2025, the month of Trump’s second inauguration. That’s the same as the most recent available rate at the time Trump spoke on Wednesday, 3.0% in September 2025. (Again, the November rate released Thursday morning was 2.7%). We don’t know who Trump was referring to when he said “some would say,” but neither the December 2024 number nor the January 2025 number was anywhere close to the worst inflation in decades or all time. It is true that the year-over-year US inflation rate hit about a 40-year high (not a 48-year high) during the Biden administration in June 2022, 9.1%, but even that was not close to the all-time record of 23.7%, set in 1920 – and it occurred more than two years before Trump returned. Inflation had plummeted before Trump’s inauguration. The cumulative increase in prices from the beginning of the Biden administration to the end was also not the worst in US history. Federal figures show that cumulative inflation under Biden was less than half of that during President Jimmy Carter’s term. Grocery prices: After noting that the price of eggs has plummeted since March, Trump added, “And everything else is falling rapidly.” That is not true even if he was talking specifically about grocery prices, which are up this year. Consumer Price Index data shows that a far greater number of grocery items have increased in price since he returned to office than have decreased. The most recent available CPI figures at the time he spoke on Wednesday, for September, showed that average grocery prices were up about 2.7% from September 2024; about 1.4% from January 2025, the month Trump returned to office; and about 0.3% from August to September. The November data released Thursday morning showed that average grocery prices were up about 1.9% from November 2024 and about 1.2% from January 2025. Egg prices: Trump’s specific claim about egg prices was this: “The price of eggs is down 82% since March.” That needs context. The White House told CNN on Thursday morning the president was referring to wholesale egg prices, not the consumer prices that average Americans actually pay. Consumer Price Index figures released Thursday morning show consumer egg prices were down 54% between March and November – a big drop, but much smaller than the 82% drop Trump cited. (And at the time he spoke on Wednesday night, the most recent available Consumer Price Index figures, for September, showed a 44% drop in egg prices since March.) Prescription drug prices: Trump repeated his false claim that an executive order he issued on prescription drug prices will cut those prices by “as much as 400, 500, and even 600%.” These figures are mathematically impossible; if the president magically got the companies to reduce the prices of all of their drugs to $0, that would be a 100% cut. You can read a longer fact check here. Gas prices: Trump said, “Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon in much of the country, and some states it by the way just hit $1.99 a gallon.” These claims need context. As of Wednesday, there were only four states whose average price for a gallon of regular gas was below $2.50, according to data published by AAA: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa and Colorado. (Nine more states had averages between $2.50 and $2.60 per gallon.) The AAA national average was $2.905 per gallon. No state had an average below Oklahoma’s $2.339 per gallon. And while some individual stations around the country were offering gas for $1.99 per gallon or less, the number was tiny; Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for the firm GasBuddy, estimated Wednesday that it was between 75 and 100 stations of the roughly 150,000 GasBuddy tracks around the country. (That doesn’t include others offering special discounts.) De Haan said Thursday that, as of the early hours Thursday morning, about 125 stations out of roughly 150,000 were at or below $1.99 per gallon.

"Much of the country" and "average gas prices" are not the same thing. They are comparing apples to oranges. "Much" isn't even the same as "most". " "Much" simply mean a subject amount of "a lot".
