What the evidence supports

False

Trump won three presidential elections.

Trump won the 2016 and 2024 elections but lost the certified 2020 election to Joe Biden.

Supported

The United Arab Emirates had made a $1.4 trillion investment commitment.

The UAE announced a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in March; the figure described a forward commitment, not money already invested.

False

The United States had substantially more than $10 trillion in new investment commitments.

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

Misleading

Groceries were down.

The food-at-home index fell 0.4% in April, but remained higher than a year earlier and had not broadly reversed the cumulative rise in grocery prices.

False

Egg prices were down 97% or 98% from where they had been.

Retail egg prices fell 12.7% in April from March's record, not 97% or 98%, and remained 49.3% higher than a year earlier.
