FACT FOCUS: Trump’s glowing account of progress is at odds with his government’s own stats

President Donald Trump’s glowing account of progress under his watch Wednesday was out of tune with the experience of price-squeezed Americans and the story told by some of his government’s own statistics.
 
In a speech from the White House, Trump assailed the record of his Democratic predecessor and boasted expansively about his record so far. Not all of those boasts were credible.

TRUMP: He blamed Democrats for handing him an “inflation disaster,” “the worst in the history of our country,” and said that now, the prices of turkey and eggs have come down and “everything else is falling rapidly. And it’s not done yet. But boy, are we making progress.”
 
THE FACTS: His claim that prices are falling rapidly is not seen in the inflation numbers, which are about where they were when he took office, after having fallen significantly before the end of Joe Biden’s presidency. Nor is it true that the Biden era gave the country its worst inflation ever.

TRUMP: “I secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States.”
 
THE FACTS: Trump has presented no evidence that he’s secured this much domestic or foreign investment for the United States. Based on statements from various companies, foreign countries and the White House’s own website, that figure appears to be exaggerated, highly speculative and far higher than the actual sum.
 
TRUMP: “I was elected in a landslide, winning the popular vote and all seven swing states and everything else, with a mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system.”
 
THE FACTS: Trump won a decisive victory but hardly a landslide one, however you define a landslide. Trump, who became president with 312 electoral votes, won fewer than Democrats Barack Obama in 2008 (365) and 2012 (332) and Bill Clinton in 1992 (370) and 1996 (379).

Harris was not elected, correct. And thank the lord above she was not. This country would not have survived if she had. 

"Dead country" not necessarily. Declining maybe but not dead. 


You win some you lose some. He is nothing if not persistent

Indeed, she would have devastated this country, but we were fortunate to elect Trump, who is accomplishing it at a much quicker pace than anyone else could have. woo hoo winning

FactChecking Trump’s Rapid-Fire Prime-Time Address

 

• The president made the misleading claim that “for the first time in years, wages are rising much faster than inflation.” Year-over-year wages have been rising faster than inflation since June 2023, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics figures.
  

• Trump falsely claimed that inflation when he took office was the “worst … in the history of our country” and that inflation had now “stopped.” Inflation was never the “worst” under Biden, and it was 3% for the 12 months ending in January. It rose 2.7% in the 12-month period ending in November.
  

• He said, “Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon, and in much of the country, in some states, it by the way just hit $1.99 a gallon.” The national average price was $2.90 a gallon the week of Dec. 15, and the lowest statewide average was $2.34 in Oklahoma.
  

• Trump claimed that due to the tax cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, “many families will be saving between $11,000 and $20,000 a year.” The Tax Policy Center estimated the average tax cut would be $800. Only those in the top 1% of households would see an average tax decrease of the amount Trump claimed.
  

Only a handful, but numerous others can be found on the web page.

those fact checks are debunking things that they hallucinated he said

"much faster" != "faster"
what does "..." omit
gas <2 in places is different than average
"many" is not average

given the number of bullshit "fact checks" it is best just to assume trump is right about everything

I've always said that we need factcheckers to fact check factcheckers.

Expanding further on your source's poll:

"December 12, 2025The majority of the public continues to feel they are paying higher prices than usual for groceries, electricity, and holiday gifts. About half are changing their shopping behaviors – seeking out deals and cutting back on large or non-essential purchases.
 
Comparable to polling from the height of inflation in December 2022, much of the public is reporting higher prices for groceries, electricity, and holiday gifts. Far fewer today are experiencing inflated gas prices though, with half reporting that gas is more expensive than usual compared with 83% in 2022."

The people don't agree with Trump's delusional ivory tower take on the economy and it's what the people think and feel that will matter come voting time.

Compare expected Cali data to Japanese length, ridership etc. data, then adjust the math.

Then ask AI if worldwide high speed trains are profitable.

Why do you need to be told how to do simple research and analysis?

You keep missing my point and ignoring the main question I am asking you, all so you can try to make a point that will never be anywhere near a comparable measure. 

Of course you are going to revert to using AI, it tells you exactly what you want to hear. **Mod. snip - Manners & Decorum violation**


You are not asking to do "simple research and analysis" you are telling me to give you sources of things that do not exist. You are telling me to give you a source to show you how high speed rails in the US have failed when there have bene none because they are not worth the cost to build and maintain. If you took 3 seconds to look up "successful high speed rail systems in the US", you would find exactly zero results. But of course you won't do that because you want to be right so bad that you will stretch every single fiber in anything that would resemble a "comparison" to you, all so you can be right.

Well when it comes from a republican sources, you know it is BS    It is either cherry picked, exaggerations or outright lies. Hope that helps
