Doodling, Drowsiness and a Conspicuous Misspelling Highlight Trump's Last Cabinet Meeting of 2025

At the White House, President Trump appeared drowsy during a two-hour Cabinet meeting where officials gave lengthy talks despite his directive to proceed quickly.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump made numerous false claims in his televised Cabinet meeting, and the article will be updated with additional fact checks after the meeting ended.
  • Trump claimed over $18 trillion in investments, but the White House's website shows $9.6 trillion, and CNN analysis called the figure exaggerated.
  • On Ukraine aid and gas prices, President Donald Trump claimed Biden gave away $350 billion while about $94 billion was disbursed and seven states had gas under $2.60, but the national average was $3.00, AAA reported.
  • CNN fact‑checker Daniel Dale debunked many assertions, saying on "Inside Politics" that several of Trump's economic boasts were mathematically impossible and added, "If there was a reduction of more than 100 percent, Americans would get paid to acquire their medications, which is not happening."
  • Among other claims, President Donald Trump asserted a 900% drug price cut, claimed to have ended eight wars, and said his 'Big, Beautiful Bill' had no Social Security tax, though it only added a $6,000 deduction for seniors age 65 and older.
