CBS News is fact-checking the president's address here:

Partially true: Trump claims illegal border crossings in February were "the lowest ever recorded."​

Trump: "As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by far, the lowest ever recorded. Ever."

Details: The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally in the first full month of President Trump's second term plunged to a level not seen in at least 25 years, according to preliminary government data obtained by CBS News.

In February, Border Patrol recorded about 8,450 migrant apprehensions between official points of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border, the statistics show.

The total, which may still be adjusted when the data are published, would mark the lowest monthly apprehensions since fiscal year 2000, the earliest period with publicly available monthly data. While monthly data before fiscal year 2000 is not publicly available, the last time Border Patrol averaged roughly 8,000 apprehensions per month over a year was in fiscal year 1968, according to historical statistics.

Is he doing better? When the day is over, we shall see. We are seeing some "partially trues" versus those "untrues"

Donald Trump, he has to be fact-checked. Why? we all know why. We even started a thread on that point:

We need to talk about the Lying

I suggest we all knew what this is about before even getting here. That's how ubiquitous the lying has been. We have liars calling everybody else a liar so often that it has numbed most people to what is really going on. This was all by design. Things must change.

During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised the moon. He promised he would not cut Social Security. He vowed to protect Medicare. He promised free in vitro fertilization. He disavowed the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 and promised that he had “nothing” to do with...​

People can fact check the Fact Checks if they so desire. Free Country (for now).

Partially true: Trump claims U.S. maybe suffered "worst inflation in 48 years…perhaps in the history of our country"​

Trump: "We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years, but perhaps even in the history of our country- they're not sure."

This is partially true: the rate of inflation in June 2022 was the highest since 1981, but not the highest of all time.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the June 2022 inflation reading of 9% was the highest since November 1981. But inflation was higher for longer in the 1970s and 1980s, peaking in April 1980 at 14.6%.

That inflationary period was above 9% for around two years, and above the target 2% rate for nearly a decade. Under Biden, inflation was elevated for about two years as well, but at lower levels. Inflation stands at 3% as of January 2025.

Partially true: Trump says he has withdrawn from the World Health Organization
Trump: "I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization."

WOW WOW
WOW WOW

Details: While Mr. Trump has signed an executive order announcing his intention to begin the yearlong process to withdraw from the World Health Organization, the withdrawal has not been completed yet – and both the president and the WHO have expressed openness to talks on potentially keeping the U.S. within the U.N. agency's membership.

In the meantime, Trump administration officials have been forced to grant exemptions for U.S. health officials multiple times to collaborate with the WHO, for instance, in the response to the Ebola outbreak in Uganda.

The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were also allowed by the Trump administration to contribute to a key WHO meeting to update the annual flu vaccine, after concerns that a U.S. withdrawal from the process could undermine the ability to update next season's shots accurately.

Is that a fact check or an opinion in which the journalist leads the witness?

Just look at the transcript. It is either true or not. During an especially emotional moment focusing on ending childhood cancer, did Trump resort to digs at Democrats?

Yes or No.

reality check:

Democrats are shouting “January 6” at Trump as he talks about law and order and protecting the police.

“They have allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and many very young, beautiful people, destroying families.”​

— President Trump

This is misleading.​

In the past year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been announcing declines in overdose fatalities.​

It gets tiring. All the lies and misleading bs.

outta here

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Wow, you started a thread with this dull and meaningless information? The only thing meaningful is it's an act of desperation powered by TDS, but what else is new?

 

[shockedcanadian]

Yes or No.

Well, she applied words to provide a judgement in a verb such as "even", meaning, "although" etc. Illustrating her bias, which I don't object, except in a "fact check".

Even in an emotional moment focusing on ending childhood cancer, Trump digs at Democrats for not cheering for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his Health and Human Services secretary."

I would write the above with the text of the discussion so that the reader knew of the interaction. He mentioned AFTER the address of newly sworn in Agent DJ that Kennedy was looking into autism issue in children and he said "he is a Kennedy you would think they would clap" or something to that effect.

The misleading part is the fact check. Trump was talking about the entire Biden term. And he was right.
