What the evidence supports
All 50 states shifted toward the Republican presidential candidate in 2024 compared with 2020.
State-level presidential results show every state moved toward Trump relative to his 2020 performance.
Biden-era inflation was probably the worst in U.S. history.
Inflation peaked at 9.1% in 2022, the highest in about four decades but below multiple earlier U.S. episodes.
The Biden administration imposed an electric-vehicle mandate.
Federal rules set fleet emissions and efficiency requirements but did not require consumers to buy electric vehicles.
The United States spent $100 million on condoms for Hamas.
The cited grants were not for Hamas or Gaza; the identified health-services award was for Mozambique, and no second $50 million Gaza-condom award was substantiated.
Millions of people aged over 100 were on Social Security rolls, indicating possible fraud.
The figures came from records without recorded death dates, not a count of centenarians receiving benefits; the Social Security Administration said almost none were in current-payment status.
Tariff revenue could wipe out the federal income tax.
Replacing individual income-tax revenue would require tariff rates and import values far beyond plausible levels, while high tariffs would also reduce imports and their tax base.
The United States was at its richest from 1870 to 1913 because it was a tariff country.
The period included rapid growth and high tariffs, but historians attribute that growth to industrialization, population, resources and other factors rather than tariffs alone.
Thirty-eight thousand Americans died building the Panama Canal.
About 7,600 workers died during the U.S. construction phase, and fewer than 1,000 were Americans.
China had essentially taken over the Panama Canal.
Panama operated the canal; a Hong Kong company managed ports near its entrances but did not control canal operations.
The United States ranked last among 40 countries in education while ranking first in spending per pupil.
International education and spending comparisons did not support both parts of the claim.
