What the evidence supports

Unresolved

Biden was not making presidential decisions and aides using his autopen were making them instead.

Autopen use does not establish who made a decision, and the public record available for the claim did not prove that aides acted without Biden's authorization.

False

Tariffs had brought in $88 billion with no inflation.

The $88 billion figure covered a much longer fiscal-year period than Trump's new tariffs, and consumer prices were still rising rather than showing zero inflation.

False

The United States had no inflation.

The Consumer Price Index was still rising year over year; slower inflation is not the same as no inflation.

False

Inflation during Biden's presidency was the highest in United States history.

Inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, the highest in about four decades but well below historical peaks exceeding 20%.

False

Trump won the 2020 presidential election by a lot.

Certified state results show Joe Biden won the 2020 election with 306 electoral votes and a national popular-vote margin of more than 7 million; audits and court cases found no outcome-changing fraud.
