President Donald Trump made numerous false and misleading claims in his Tuesday speech to a joint session of Congress. The falsehoods spanned a variety of topics, including the economy, climate, immigration and more. Here is a fact check of some of Trump’s statements.
He lied. Fuck your bootlicking.
Why on earth is it possible for a president to tell so many lies and still get away with it? #pathological liar #djt
Because this is all meant to be happening. Things don't just happen by accident. People don't just forget to enforce rules and laws. Don't be mistaken.... this has been the big plan for YEARS.

Thank you for being transparent and stating these lies. We need so more of this!
@cnn.com Please stop calling it 'falsehoods' and 'misleading claims'. It is out right lies! And when it's not lies, it's bullshitting!! And please, don't call him President. Just call him Trump, because he's not worthy of the titel. Kremlin is partying hard right now!!!
@cnn man your new stations sucks as. You cater to Trump and gave him all this coverage to get him elected. But then you fact check him but never really call him out or his supporter.
Lies, they are called lies. You spineless bastards.
I was watching @cnn.com after the speech and it sure felt like they were oddly overly moderate and even borderline trump supporting. Please convince me I’m wrong. Idk what’s going on 🥹
so he lied….🤔
So, he lied, again. Wonder why viewership has declined so.sharply? You are enablers, not journalists. Propaganda
Enough is enough we have been playing the game but it’s obvious we are dealing with gangsters! You cannot be diplomatic in the current situation!
Krasnov consistently lies Krasnov consistently lies Krasnov consistently lies
America is now in lockstep with Russia China and North Korea. America will no longer be trusted by western democracies and NATO members especially when it comes to intelligence sharing. GOP have sold themselves to Putin.
You make false statements as well @cnn.com. WTF is this?Don’t give him credit for his instability and bully tactics. He is a liar and now so are you. Misleading the viewers and siding with Trump? Do better Lutnick: US could announce trade deal Wednesday with Mexico and Canada after imposing tariffs
@cnn you should have been tracking his lies last year. Your words mean nothing now.
Why do Americans believe this guys? Why is there so little resistance? You all seem happy with project 2025, higher prices, lower wages, and a president that sides with ruzzia. Unbelievable.
Yeah, dude flat out told a bunch of LIES, per usual.
America is not a real country.
They’re lies, you chickenshits.
If you’re looking to save characters, there’s a shorter word for all the deliberate “falsehoods”
Be careful not to call it LIES....
Stupidity sells
Don’t call them falsehoods, it belittles the extremity of it all. THEY WERE LIES!! Pure and simple, the “ex” leader of the free world is a liar.
Translation: he LIED‼️🙄
Indeed. It was the worst State of the Union speech in American history. There was no rhetorical value to it, and lies provide no telling of any true state. Disappointing on so many levels, and sadness abounds.
He lied. He plucked numbers out of the sky. His speech was a joke….. and so is CNN
How did the democrats react on these lies?
Impeach tRump
Numerous you mean just about everything he said was false
I figured the fact checkers would be busy
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command
He’s just doing what Putin told him to do: www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
Just say "lie" It's a word humans use all the time.
Not according to Fox!!! This speach was just for part of America and it works all the time...
At least you had the guts to say this much, the bar was low but I’m impressed- don’t stop here
Why not just save a LOT of time and effort and list the 1 or 2 things that WEREN'T abject falsehoods, just plain wrong, or not even wrong?
Trump is destroying this country, we must all stand up to this. Stock market is crashing and the world hates us. Things are gonna get worse. Brace yourselves for a depression.
"Trump lies"
It’s called “Lying”. Maybe you should just file for bankruptcy now if you can’t be bothered to accurately provide the news.
Was there anything NOT a lie in his speech?
He must have learned how to lie from his master Putin
The only thing this guy does is lie and bully. No wonder he’s the most unpopular president in American history
He. Lied. Say it.
Lies. He Lied @cnn.com Get a spine.
Just call him a liar. Straight up. That's true reporting.
Can’t we call them lies?
📌📍
The obits are my favorite read these days !
Lies. The word you are after is “lies”.
Lies. They are lies. For once, say it like it is: President Trump delivered a speech full of lies and completely detached from reality.
He LIED. Use the word. LIE. Not “stretched the truth.” Not “false and misleading…” LIES.
Never heard this orange dumbass speaking the truth.
It’s called lied, misleading is not this.Sad
Absolute disgrace, King of Conmen. This Brologarchy must go!!!
Why isn’t CNN reporting the total number of LIES Trump told during his 2nd term SOTU speech?!?
a clown who's a puppetleader for russia and oligarchs worldwide... lies. yes you can factcheck all you want and you will come to that conclusion each time. so: that's not *news*. what *news* is CNN going to bring? what are you going to *do* about it?
FACTcheckers correcting THEIR OWN FACTS - you all should hide & STFU finally °
Watching CNN’s pathetic normalization of Trump makes me just want to see the network fold up.
Really?
Sure would be nice if you did this on air. Or asked legitimate questions once or twice. Oh wait you’re owned
Lies. They are called lies. Please speak up. The people and your constitution need you to show courage and tell it like it is.
Your post speech polls results explain clearly how and why America is where it is today. You all sit there and discuss the address like you normally would while your country is being dismantled and ruled by a dictator.
Please stop using the word "falsehoods". They are lies, stop trying to soft pedal what he does.
Hire a convicted criminal and multiple time bankruptcy claimant to run the country and you are going to get a liar hiding the true facts. The State of the Union address only needed to say that the union is in a right state i.e. a mess. Krasnov is the reason.
Fact checking doesn’t matter. MAGA is all about faith.
Every American knows Trump is a deceitful liar except the ‘redcaps’, who are anxiously awaiting the benefits of trickle-down economics. Sad!
Made numerous false and misleading claims. We should make a word for that. Like flying but less F
Trump is a traitor, plain and simple. He’s NEVER been supportive of America, only making money by shitting on people. Now he’s doing it to the entire country. He needs to be impeached and tried for treason. #TraitorTrump
This speech was, as expected, staggering in its deceit, ethnocentrism, and ad hominem attacks. Not to mention, I truly enjoyed the narrative that the liberal world order is unfair to the US.
Make lying great again
He not "made numerous false and misleading claims". He lied!
Better to just list the truths...silence
Just call them lies.
CNN should hold a town hall w/members on both sides of the aisle along w/everyday Americans affected by the trump "make the rich wealthier on the backs of low/middle income Americans" & ask how can "America is back" be true when its citizens are losing their jobs, homes, benefits & retirement.
Lies. Call them lies WTF?
He lied. Trump lied. Jesus, CNN, I don't ask for much. Just say he lied.
Lies. They’re called lies.
Tesla sales is down 70% in Germany. Musk has made the brand completely toxic in Europe and certain other parts of the world. Will he write an explanation to the Tesla board why he has been doing such a bad job and the stock is down 35 %? Turns out being Putins spokesperson has consequenses
We did not watch it, the complete bullshit of lies mixed with gross exaggerations made us sick to our stomachs. We turned it off after 10 mins. How are we going to tolerate 47 more mos of destruction, betrayal, sabotage, corruption and serial lying from a piece of garbage felon? We need a miracle.
Just call them lies already. God, the media has the loudest voice in this country and it's full of cowards.
Is anyone really surprised?
How much did Kaitlin Collins charge Burgum for the proctology test tonight. She was so far up his ass it was an easy thing for her to do.
No shit??
Controlled Opposition – When a group presents itself as part of a movement but is actually working to undermine it from within. Manufactured Consent (from Noam Chomsky) – When media outlets give the illusion of debate or balance while ultimately serving elite interests.
This is not how a party that ever expects to lose power behaves. The whole thing was lies, misinformation, malinformation, and propaganda. We're past "fact" checking.
The American public is entangled in an ever growing web of lies. Each lie gets embellished to cover the last until eventually the web will be stretched to collapse. Does it bring down Trump and his GOP enablers or the entire US democracy?
He LIED. That's what he does, LIE. And then he lies some more.
Sieg heil, Donald Duck ….
Fact-checking is crucial in today's political landscape. It's essential to sift through the noise and hold leaders accountable for their statements. Let’s stay informed and demand accuracy, whether it's from the right or the left. What stood out most to you in the fact check?
What’s with the euphemisms, he’s a liar who told lies, call them what they are! 🙄
Again with the “falsehoods”. The lying liar lies all the time. Just say it.
JUST SAY HE FUCKING LIED!!!!
Predictable and why I didn’t watch or listen to the Liar in Chief.
He lied, then lied, then lied some more.
More fact checking is needed. Stop protecting this liar felon
Come on, say it, he lied!
Just tell us what's correct. It will be a lot shorter.
Lying liar lies.
You can use the words “lied repeatedly”, enough with the soft language
"L.I.E.S.". It's not hard to spell.

Trump is going after transgender and sex orientation for his little buddy musk because musk has a kid that transitioned from male to female. They are turning America into their own dynasty. Thank God most our allies understand most Americans do not represent these two nuts.

Potus trumpie lies. All the Damn Time. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
He is simply a bare faced liar.
What comes out of the mouth of a bullshitter???? I let you find out........
Here are some facts from Kyiv Independent: youtu.be/YsIntuxmXf0?...
If he keeps lying, why do you keep showing him? Have some morals and grow a pair. Stand for ethics and fact base journalism, cut off the feed to this muppet show. Be the adult in the room and tell your viewers you’re sorry but you believe in the truth and facts, not propaganda and lies. Do Better
The president LIED. Do journalism! USE THE CORRECT WORDS‼️‼️
During prez address, opposing party should keep track of lies in as close to real time as possible. Once predetermined # of lies is reached, opposition party walks out of chamber. Setting predetermined #, opposition party telegraphs their intention to prez. No reason to sit listening to bullshit.
Fact check all his statements. Don’t act like your organization isn’t in part responsible for his rise and spread of disinformation. Do your damn job and report out on him handing over our democracy to foreign born oligarch.
If he is still lying at his age his human life is pretty much wasted . May his God help him.
And the republicans are fine with it. Trump is not the biggest problem. He just has a mental disorder. The Republican congressmen are the problem with their ovations 🤮. Shame, shame, shame
Lies. The word is lies.
But, hey, big night out at the Reichstag for the old pasty-white set, amirite?
Say what they are, it’s called lies not being polite lies that’s what trumps speech was about! Use the correct words lies, lies, lies, get it yet!
Even I, as a non-native speaker, know that it’s called lies.
The entirety of the Biden Administration was a lie & coverup for 4 years. That and the border is secure, boys can get periods, men can get pregnant…
Trump has surrounded himself with thugs, scumbags, and morons who speak and think for him. They will line their pockets at the expense of Americans. They will ruin trade relations with the entire world.
You did a City Hall with this vermin.
False statements should be called lies.
Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur
His lil’ mouth was moving, ergo, lying.
Here's what Trump did not talk about! ✔️Housing crisis getting worse ✔️60% of us living paycheck to paycheck ✔️Bottom 50% of us live 7 years less than the rich🤑 ✔️Americans die from Health Insurance denials/profits ✔️He plans to cut almost all of Medicaid! ✔️Cost of food ⬆️ www.youtube.com/live/QlrQKv1...
How does the GOP live with themselves supporting the stream of lies and nonsense? Saying it 1000 times does not make it true.
No POTUS can work for putin and russia.
It really doesn’t matter at this point because money washes money hands….
'Lie' uses fewer pixels than 'falsehoods' and is just as good if not better. Please try it
If it weren’t for the industrial grade armored diapers his pants would be a smoldering pile of ash right now. Just say it like it is.
Oh surprise. Lies are the only thing Trump knows.
Cowards. CNN=Coward News Network.
Is it possible for a major media company to call a lie, a lie? Even words like “misleading” or “misstatement” are soft peddling the truth, which we need more than ever now.
The most prolific Liar in American political history is at it again. It is so easy to feel sad for Americans but you voted for a dictator "on day one" ... and forever".
Instead of keeping track of his lies, won’t it be less time consuming to track his truths?
What else is new?
I already know his false narrative, and even more so, he was handed a good economic record. He’s failing and should be impeached.
Not false and misleading — just alternate facts, remember?
Republicans only want to hear lies. The truth is far too inconvenient for them, even though it is unescapable.
If you could stop Hitler pre 1939....would you?

CNN really had to put the spin on it for this article. 🤣. This is why the Democrats lost and their numbers are tanking
Your polls are a disgrace. "Among speech-watchers" give me a break. Al Green was the only person with a spine in that room tonight. 80% of your speech-watchers are imbeciles
Shocking!!
No way!?!?!!
You misspelled LIED
Trump stands before Congress peddling a carnival of lies exaggerating DOGE’s so-called ‘savings,’ distorting Biden’s record, and pushing policies that gut the very systems Americans depend on. The GOP cheers while the truth drowns by this administration’s assault on decency and reality itself.
Un discour de dictateur avec des camarades par ci camarade par là.....
This you, Kellyanne Conway?? #TheWordIsLie
Easy fact check: from the moment he opened his mouth until the end -- all lies.
Moving on.
He can’t even keep up with all the lies.
I truly expected to see the wRong side of the room erupt in a spontaneous “throwing out my heart with an overly stiff arm” at some point.
They are called LIES Grow a pair already
Call it. It’s not “false”. It’s not “misleading”. What he say are LIES. Stop kissing the MAGA ass.
L I E S. USE THE CORRECT WORD. LIAR LYING LIES
Why bother to fact check when nobody that matters will bother? They know he lies like he breathes and just let him spew his gaslighting as long as their power is maintained and the money laundering profits keeps rolling in. And that’s both siding it
Compulsive liar and propagandist!
STOP THE SOFT LANGUAGE SAY IT LIKE IT IS ALREADY! HE LIED!
You didn’t expect him to tell the truth did you? The dude paints his face orange, he clearly has some serious issues.
He lied. He always lies. He will never stop lying.
Trump is a power hungry narcissistic sociopath.
VERY SAD !!! It is fascinating that people have the ability to twist logic and evidence to such a degree that they can maintain a "belief" that is at direct and obvious odds with reality. Trump is a traitor to our Constitution, and led an insurrection of our country.
