Oh hey just so it doesn’t get missed
Fuck Stephen A Smith, grifting ass motherfucker. You think murder is justified so you can get that fucking Joe Rogan deal.
Fuck you Stephen A. You’re bad for sports and worse for America.
I counted at least 18 false claims in President Trump’s speech to House Republicans today. Here’s a quick fact check of some of the things he said. There’s a link at the bottom with more details.
- Washington, DC hasn’t had a murder “in seven months” (there have been dozens of murders in DC in the last seven months, including multiple murders within the last two weeks)
- DC is “now the safest city in the country” (not even close to true, though crime is down)
- He’s reducing prescription drug prices by “thousands of percent” (again: mathematically impossible)
- The House Jan. 6 committee failed to note that he used the words “peacefully and patriotically” in his speech before the riot (it did note he said that, though also correctly noted the rest of the speech was combative and filled with election lies)
- Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 National Guard troops (still zero evidence she was ever offered them, and the president, not the speaker, is in charge of the DC Guard anyway)
- Pelosi was caught on her daughter’s documentary footage admitting she turned down the National Guard troops that day and saying, “It's my fault, I should’ve taken the soldiers” (Pelosi didn’t say that; she said she took responsibility for not “having them just prepare for more” at the Capitol, not that she turned down Guard troops, and added, “Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”)
- Two 2024 Olympic gold medalists in women’s boxing were men who “transitioned” (both of the boxers who faced gender scrutiny were always female and always competed in women’s events)
- The 2020 election “was rigged” (he lost fair and square)
- He “won Minnesota” (he lost there three straight times) or would have without corrupt elections (nonsense)
- “We’re the only country that votes by mail, essentially” (dozens of countries use mail-in voting)
- In his 2019 call with Zelensky, he simply “told Ukraine not to cheat, and if you see any cheating, report it to the Attorney General of the United States” (he pressured Zelensky to investigate Biden and an election conspiracy theory)
- He was beating Biden “by 30 points” when Biden unfairly dropped out midway through the race (he had single-digit leads over Biden in most polls)
- There’s “$18 trillion” being invested in the US (this figure is fiction, nearly double the White House's own wildly inflated $9.6 trillion figure)
- “Many stations” are now selling gas for $1.99 a gallon (“many” is too vague to call this flat false, but GasBuddy says about 650 out of 150,000 US gas stations it tracks, 0.43%, are below $2 today aside from special discounts)
- “Prisons from the Congo” were released into the US under Biden (both Congo countries and independent experts say this didn’t happen, and Trump’s team has never provided a shred of evidence)
- Last year’s Los Angeles wildfires were affected by California using some water to protect a fish species in the north of the state (California water experts have repeatedly explained those two things are completely unrelated)
- He inherited “the greatest inflation in history” (even peak Biden-era inflation of 9.1% in June 2022 was less than half the all-time high of 23.7%, and it then declined to 3.0% in January 2025, just a bit above where it is now)
- He achieved “no tax on Social Security” (he didn’t; his big bill created an additional deduction for people 65+, but many people 65+ and also recipients under 65 are continuing to paying tax on Social Security) https://t.co/3bYMctU2sy
