What the evidence supports

False

Failure to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill would cause a 68% tax increase.

The figure compared expiring provisions with the bill's full mix of tax changes and did not represent the average increase taxpayers would face.

False

Using an autopen to sign presidential pardons or executive actions made those documents illegal or invalid.

Longstanding Justice Department guidance says a president may direct an autopen signature; validity turns on presidential authorization, not whether a pen was held personally.

Unresolved

Biden aides used the autopen to take presidential actions without Biden's knowledge.

Trump acknowledged he had no evidence for unauthorized use, and the public record then available did not establish who approved each signature.

False

Before Trump returned to office, nobody wanted to join the military.

Military recruiting had already improved during fiscal 2024, before the 2024 election, with nearly every service reaching its annual goal.
