Fact-Checking Donald Trump’s Marathon Press Briefing at One-Year Mark of Second Term
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale identified over 15 false or misleading claims by Trump on issues like inflation, drug prices, and water policy during his year-one briefing.
- Holding a nearly two-hour session in the White House press room, Trump listed accomplishments and showed ICE arrest photos in Minneapolis during the anniversary of his second term on January 20, 2025.
- Amid tariff and price claims, Trump also cited disputed public-health and deportation figures, making contested claims on the economy, fentanyl deaths claim, and deportation figures, fact-checkers flagged inaccuracies.
- Trump claimed the U.S. secured $18 trillion in investment commitments, but the White House website shows $9.6 trillion, and experts warn many pledges may not materialize.
- A CNN fact-checker on Tuesday called President Donald Trump's speech a 'litany of lies' and issued fact-checks amid his preparation for the World Economic Forum in Davos after foreign-policy tangents on Greenland and Gaza.
- Public-Health and immigration figures used in the briefing were corrected by fact-checkers, citing about 69,000 overdose deaths and that about 74% of nearly 70,000 immigrants in detention have no convictions.
