What the evidence supports

False

Illegal border crossings had fallen 99.999%, with only three people getting through the southern border in the prior month.

Crossings fell sharply, but official April data recorded thousands of Border Patrol apprehensions, not three, and did not support a 99.999% decline.

False

U.S. military enlistments were the highest in 30 years or perhaps ever.

Recruiting improved, including gains that began in fiscal 2024, but the services had not published a comparable 30-year record supporting the superlative.

False

The United States had no inflation.

Consumer prices were still 2.3% higher in April than a year earlier; a one-month decline in March did not mean inflation had disappeared.

Misleading

Groceries, gasoline, energy and all other prices were down.

Some energy prices and the April food-at-home index declined over short periods, but food remained more expensive than a year earlier and prices overall were still rising.

False

More than $10 trillion in new U.S. investment had been announced or was coming since the election.

The White House's published list was far below $10 trillion and included multiyear pledges and commercial agreements rather than completed investment.

False

TSMC was investing $200 billion in the United States.

TSMC's announced U.S. investment plan totaled $165 billion: an existing $65 billion commitment plus an additional $100 billion announced in March.
