The United States had experienced the worst inflation in its history under Biden.

The 9.1% peak in 2022 was the highest in about four decades but far below historical U.S. inflation peaks.

Grocery prices were way down.

The food-at-home price index remained above its January level and did not support a broad decline in grocery prices.

Inflation had been defeated.

Consumer prices were still rising at roughly 3% year over year.

Workers' wages were rising at the fastest pace in 60 years.

Wage-growth measures were positive but well below multiple earlier periods, including the rapid nominal gains recorded during the pandemic-era labor market.

Democrats wanted $1.5 trillion for health care for illegal aliens.

The $1.5 trillion was the estimated 10-year cost of Democrats' broader spending proposal, not money for undocumented immigrants' health care.

Obama and Biden had absolute hatred toward Israel.

Both administrations continued extensive U.S. military and diplomatic support for Israel despite policy disagreements with Netanyahu.

Prescription-drug prices would fall by 100%, 400%, 600%, 1,000% or more.

A price cannot decline by more than 100%; the repeated percentages were mathematically impossible descriptions of a price reduction.

Babies are given 82 vaccines in one shot.

CDC schedules show babies receive nowhere near 82 vaccines in total, and not 82 vaccines in a single shot or visit.

Vaccine doses given to babies are the size of two glasses of water.

Typical infant vaccine doses are about a fraction of a teaspoon, not anywhere near the size Trump described.

Amish people do not take vaccines or pills and have no autism.

Experts told CNN and FactCheck.org that some Amish families vaccinate and use medications, and autism exists in Amish communities.

The measles vaccine is already available separately from the MMR shot.

No separate measles-only shot was available in the United States.

Each alleged Venezuelan drug boat that is struck would otherwise kill 25,000 Americans.

The figure did not make sense against total U.S. overdose deaths and was unsupported by evidence about the boats' cargo.

Prescription-drug prices would be reduced by 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% or more.

Price cuts greater than 100% are mathematically impossible, and the policy's actual effect remained uncertain.

The 2020 election was rigged and the wrong person became president.

Biden legitimately won the certified 2020 election, and audits, courts and officials found no outcome-changing fraud.

There were fires all over Portland.

Portland Fire & Rescue identified only a few protest-adjacent fire calls near the federal building, not fires across the city.

Portland was burning to the ground.

Protests were concentrated near an ICE facility and normal city life continued across Portland; the city was not burning down.
