Badlands Media Special Coverage: 10/14/26 - Trump in Bullhead City, AZ: Katie Hobbs & Tax Cuts

What it claims

Claims

1. 1TrueDonald Trump held a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona on October 14, 2026.Multiple independent outlets (AP, AZFamily/AP, Arizona Republic, FOX 10, KNAU, Fox17/KSNV) report that President Trump held a campaign rally at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport in Bullhead City, Arizona on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, matching the claim's date and place. The claim is supported; the claimed event is the same one the post describes, and the extraction faithfully reflects the passage's 'rallies Bullhead City' framing.9 sources →
2. 2Can’t tellA 104-year-old veteran received the Congressional Medal of Honor.The post says Trump mentioned a Medal of Honor for a 104-year-old veteran during an October 2026 rally, and the claim faithfully reflects that. None of the sources shows a 104-year-old receiving the Medal of Honor: the sources show Royce Williams at 100 (February 2026, described as the oldest recipient ever) and later recipients with no stated age of 104, while the 104-year-old Oscar Primm was honored only by a House statement, not the Medal of Honor.6 sources →

   ▶ 1:24:36

3. 3TrueThe United States presidential aircraft used prior to the acquisition of the new 747 were 35 years old.Sources from June 2026 describe the aging VC-25A presidential jets that were replaced by the Qatari-gifted 747 as 35 years old (CNN, 10News quoting the 35 years of service since 1990), with CNBC TV18 saying 36. The 35-year figure is consistent within rounding, and the claim's 'prior to the acquisition' framing matches the June 2026 arrival of the Qatari jet. The claim reflects the post's own wording, so no extraction departure applies.7 sources →

   ▶ 1:53

4. 4TrueThe United States government received a 747 aircraft as a gift from the Amir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.The sources consistently report that the US government accepted a Boeing 747 jet as a gift from Qatar's royal family, with several tying the gift to Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani personally. The gift was accepted in May 2025, so the claim holds, though several sources describe the donor as the royal family or Qatari government rather than the Emir alone.5 sources →

   ▶ 2:42

5. 5TrueDonald Trump won all seven swing states in the most recent election.Trump's 2024 sweep of all seven swing states is supported by an AFP report and a fact-check of his TIME interview, and no source contradicts it. The fact-check notes his claim about counties and popular vote was overstated, but that does not affect the swing-state claim, which matches the 2024 presidential election as the most recent one as of the post date.6 sources →

   ▶ 4:53

6. 6TrueThe United States won all seven swing states in the most recent election.Sources show Donald Trump's side won all seven 2024 presidential swing states (Arizona completed the sweep), which is the most recent completed national election as of the check date. The claim's wording 'The United States won' is loose for 'we' in the post, which refers to Trump's campaign, and the sources do not cover the October 2026 midterms the post may be implicitly discussing.5 sources →

   ▶ 4:53

7. 7FalseDonald Trump won Arizona in the most recent election by the largest margin.The claim treats Trump's 2024 Arizona win as the largest margin in the most recent election, but NBC News reports his 5.5-point 2024 Arizona margin was only the 25th biggest among the 50 states. The 2026 Arizona election had not yet taken place as of the check date, so the 2024 result is the most recent one.3 sources →

   ▶ 4:54

8. 8FalseThe United States won Arizona in the most recent election by the largest margin and largest number of votes ever recorded.The post, made 2026-10-15, refers to Trump's 2024 Arizona win, which the sources show was by 5.5 points (R+5.5), not the largest margin ever. The 1960-2024 Arizona table shows Reagan's 1980 win by 32.4 points, so the 'largest margin ever' superlative is contradicted, and the 'largest number of votes' element is only partly checkable because the sources do not list every year.7 sources →

   ▶ 4:54

9. 9FalseThe President of China visited the United States for a meeting with Donald Trump during the week of October 8, 2026.The claimed visit during the week of October 8, 2026 is contradicted: the White House and other sources place Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington on September 23-25, 2026, weeks before that week. No source reports a Trump-Xi in-person visit in early October, so the claim is false; the post's 'last week' (posted October 15) does not match the record.7 sources →

   ▶ 6:32

10. 10FalseThe United States has increased its earnings from trade with China compared to previous periods.The sources show the US running a large goods trade deficit with China, not earning money from it, and US exports to China fell in 2025 and early 2026. The deficit has narrowed, so the US is losing less, but that is not an increase in earnings.7 sources →

    ▶ 6:43

11. 11FalseDemocrats are planning to reinstate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits and allow men to play in women's sports.FactCheck.org, a tier1 source, found that GOP attacks claiming Democrats oppose or would reverse the tax cuts on tips, overtime and Social Security are misleading, because many Democratic candidates say they support those provisions. No source shows a Democratic plan to reinstate those taxes, and no authoritative source addresses a Democratic plan on men in women's sports, so that part is unverified; the post also framed these as a conditional warning about what could happen if Republicans lose.5 sources →

    ▶ 8:35

12. 12TrueThe United States is currently the world leader in artificial intelligence development.Multiple sources on the same subject, including Britannica, a government economic report, and Stanford's 2026 AI Index, describe the United States as the leading AI power as of the claim date, mainly on private investment, computing infrastructure, and notable model production. Sources also note that China leads in research publications and patents and that the performance gap has narrowed, so the claim holds on a standard reading of 'leader' but is not uncontested.5 sources →

    ▶ 9:41

13. 13TrueEarly voting in Arizona continues through October 30th.Multiple sources (Arizona Clean Elections Commission, Mohave County, Arizona Attorney General, and FOX 10) confirm that Arizona early in-person voting for the November 3, 2026 general election was underway in mid-October and runs through October 30, so the claim was accurate as of 2026-10-15. The claim matches the passage's wording and the posted date, and the later sources confirm the schedule.5 sources →

    ▶ 10:25

14. 14FalseVoting machines in Republican areas of Arizona were broken purposely during a past election.The claim that Arizona voting machines in Republican areas were purposely broken in the 2022 election is contradicted by the record: printer/ballot-ink malfunctions hit both Republican and Democrat-leaning sites, election officials and AP found no deliberate sabotage, and fact-checkers and courts rejected the fraud allegations. The claim was made by Trump at an October 2026 rally, and the sources (including a 2026 PBS fact-check of the same quote) dismiss it.8 sources →

    ▶ 11:38

15. 15TrueAlaska uses ranked choice voting.Alaska uses ranked choice voting. The Alaska Division of Elections, AP, and PolitiFact all report that the state has used RCV in general elections since 2022, following a 2020 voter initiative. The claim matches the post's reference to Alaska, and the post's negative framing is opinion rather than part of the factual claim. Sources from 2026 also confirm RCV was in use in that year's general election, so the claim held on 2026-10-15.5 sources →

    ▶ 12:44

16. 16TrueA candidate named Dan Sullivan received 2.5% of the vote in an Alaska primary election.The claim is supported: the official Alaska primary results show Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. (a candidate named Dan Sullivan) received 2.47%, and AP, FactCheck.org, and CBS report about 2.5%. The post's added explanation that voters didn't know is not part of the extracted claim and is not graded here.5 sources →

    ▶ 13:08

17. 17TrueThere are two candidates named Dan Sullivan running for office in Alaska.Multiple reliable sources confirm that two candidates named Dan Sullivan were on Alaska's Senate ballot: incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and retired teacher Daniel J. Sullivan, who remained on the ballot after the Alaska Supreme Court ruled in June that both could stay. The post's own wording ('two Dan Sullivans') matches this, and the state of affairs held on 2026-10-15; later coverage about the investigation and lawsuit does not change that.6 sources →

    ▶ 13:19

18. 18FalseThe Democratic Party caused the worst inflation in American history while in power.The claim that Democrats caused the worst inflation in American history is contradicted by fact-checkers: the worst inflation was the post-WWI spike of 1919-1920 (23.7% in one year), and the Biden-era peak of about 9.1% was not the worst. The claim also widens the post's 'radical Democrats' to the whole party and drops the 'last time they had power' framing, though the core assertion fails either way.6 sources →

    ▶ 15:23

19. 19MixedThe Democratic Party caused the highest energy prices in American history while in power.The sources support part of the claim: the record national gasoline price of about $5 a gallon occurred under Biden, a Democratic administration. They do not support the causal attribution that Democrats caused the highest energy prices in US history, since sources attribute the 2022 and 2026 spikes to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Iran war, and one non-authoritative explainer finds no partisan pattern. The claim also extends beyond gasoline to 'energy prices' generally, which no source addresses as a historical record.4 sources →

    ▶ 15:29

20. 20FalseThe Democratic Party allowed 25 million people to enter the United States illegally across the southern border.The claim that Democrats let 25 million people enter illegally across the southern border is contradicted by the sources' encounter data. FactCheck.org's tier-1 figure is about 7.38 million Border Patrol encounters over the entire Biden administration, and BBC reports roughly 8 million southwest-border encounters since January 2021, so 25 million is roughly three times the record. Encounters also count repeat attempts and are not a count of people who entered, so the magnitude is grossly overstated.5 sources →

    ▶ 15:35

21. 21TruePresident Trump designated drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.During his second term in 2025, President Trump designated specific criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, such as Tren de Aragua, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.factcheck: true2 sources →

    ▶ 17:38

22. 22TrueThe Trump administration designated fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.The claim matches the passage's wording and the record: Executive Order 14367, signed December 15, 2025, designated illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, as confirmed by the White House fact sheet, the Federal Register, and Reuters and AP reporting. The post's own phrasing is consistent with this, so the extraction is faithful.5 sources →

    ▶ 17:43

23. 23False11,888 murderers entered the United States illegally in the last 17 months.The 11,888 murderers figure comes from Trump's remarks about the Biden-era border, not the last 17 months as the claim states, and fact-checkers reject it. Source [8] rates the claim a 'blatant lie' because the figure includes noncitizens who entered under multiple administrations, some legally, and many were incarcerated, while Source [6] calls the Biden/Democrat murderer claim untrue. The claim also departs from the passage, which ties the 11,888 figure to 'they let them pour in' over the past 17 months, so the time framing is the post's own.5 sources →

    ▶ 18:16

24. 24FalseZero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States in the last 17 months.FactCheck.org, a tier1 fact-checker, examined Trump's near-identical 'zero illegal aliens have entered' claim and rejected it as wrong, noting roughly 9,295 border apprehensions in July alone. The claim matches the post's wording, but the sources show zero releases and zero interior releases, not zero admissions, so the claim's core is contradicted.4 sources →

    ▶ 18:23

25. 25MixedRent costs in Phoenix and other US markets soared 25% to 35% under the Biden administration.Sources support that rents rose during the pandemic-era surge and peaked around 2022, but they do not support a 25% to 35% increase under Biden. The Phoenix figures cited (about $1,450 to $1,750, roughly 20%) fall short of that range and partly predate Biden's term, and rents have fallen since the peak.6 sources →

    ▶ 18:51

26. 26FalseRent in Arizona has plummeted by 14% since Donald Trump took office.Statewide and Phoenix-area rent data show modest year-over-year declines of roughly 3% to 7%, not a 14% drop, and KTAR reports the decline began before Trump returned to office in January 2025. The 14% figure matches only a single-city, one-bedroom Zumper figure for Glendale, and the claim's 'since Trump took office' framing is not supported as of 2026-10-15.6 sources →

    ▶ 19:23

27. 27MixedCar insurance premiums surged 60% under the Democrats.The roughly 60% rise is supported by BLS-based sources (about 62.7% from January 2021 to a February 2026 peak, and 64% from 2020 to 2025), but the 'under the Democrats' attribution is contested because the increase continued into 2025-2026 under Trump and the AP fact-check says the pandemic, not immigration policy, drove the spike. The claim's figure holds on the record; its partisan framing does not fully match the timeline.4 sources →

    ▶ 19:48

28. 28FalseUnder President Trump, car insurance premiums have declined at the highest rate in the last 14 years.The claim that premiums declined at the highest rate in 14 years under Trump is not supported. Premiums fell in 2025 (about 6% per Insurify), but 2026 sources show increases (Insurify up 1% in the first half, CarInsurance.com rising), and none of the sources describes the decline as the largest in 14 years. The post's 'highest price' is a garbled phrase; the claim's 'rate' wording is a faithful paraphrase.4 sources →

    ▶ 20:16

29. 29FalseThe 2020 presidential election was rigged through COVID and other things.The claim that the 2020 election was rigged through COVID and other things is contradicted by authoritative reviews: AP found far too little fraud to change the outcome, and PolitiFact found the COVID-era mail-voting changes were lawful, public, and applied to all voters. The post's own words are not evidence, and the claim's wording matches the post's 'rigged... through COVID' assertion.5 sources →

    ▶ 20:51

30. 30Can’t tellDemocrats are planning to reopen the southern border and open the prisons and jails of the planet to release criminals into the United States.The post made a conditional forecast ('if the Democrats get back into power, they will...'), but the extracted claim restates it as a present plan ('are planning'), which departs from the passage. The sources contain partisan characterizations that Democrats want open borders and a Democratic Socialists of America cochair's answer on abolishing prisons, but none shows a Democratic plan to empty the world's prisons into the U.S. The Marshall Project fact-check debunks Trump's claims about prison releases from Venezuela, a different referent, so it does not settle this claim.7 sources →

    ▶ 21:16

31. 31False2% of the people create 91% of the crime.The claim that 2% of people create 91% of crime is contradicted by fact-check and research sources: Prison Policy Initiative calls the claim bogus, noting the 2% figure is jail bookings, not offending, and Gigafact finds no authoritative U.S.-wide finding for a 2%-of-population share of crime. The 91% figure traces to a 1960s survey finding that 91% of adults had committed a serious crime, not that 2% produce 91% of crime. The post's wording is faithfully extracted.6 sources →

    ▶ 22:31

32. 32FalseWashington, D.C. is now one of the safest cities in the country.Available evidence indicates that Washington, D.C. has some of the highest violent crime rates in the United States, directly contradicting the claim that it is among the safest cities.1 source →

    ▶ 23:14

33. 33TrueGovernor Katie Hobbs vetoed legislation that would have required local jurisdictions to cooperate with federal law enforcement.Multiple sources confirm Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed legislation requiring local and state officials in Arizona to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, including the 2025 ICE Act (Senate Bill 1164) per AP and other outlets, and House Bill 2099 requiring cities and towns to comply with federal immigration enforcement. The claim's date is not stated, but the veto is a past event confirmed by the sources, and the extraction faithfully matches the post.7 sources →

    ▶ 25:26

34. 34OpinionKatie Hobbs is a dumb person and a failed, radical left governor who does the bidding of the cartels.A judgement, not a statement of fact. It has no true or false answer.

    ▶ 26:13

35. 35Can’t tellGovernor Katie Hobbs vetoed 18 bills cracking down on crime.The sources document several Hobbs vetoes of border, immigration, and fentanyl-related bills, but none gives a count of 18 crime-related vetoes or says she vetoed 18 such bills. The claim's specific figure is therefore not verified or refuted, and the extraction matches the post's own wording.6 sources →

    ▶ 26:33

36. 36FalseDrug traffic coming into Arizona and the United States has decreased by 97%.No source measures total drug flow into Arizona or the U.S. at all, and FactCheck.org calls Trump's drug-flow claims unsupported. The best available measures show declines far smaller than 97%: national fentanyl seizures down about 50%, Arizona port fentanyl weight down about 30%, and Arizona pill seizures down from 19 million to 17.8 million. The 95-96% drops cited in the sources are border crossings of migrants, not drugs, so they do not support the claim. The post's own figure of 58% is also not the same as 97%. The claim departs from the post's wording only trivially, so it is graded as made.9 sources →

    ▶ 27:25

37. 37MixedDonald Trump changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Google Maps.Trump signed an executive order renaming the body of water the Gulf of America, and Google Maps began showing that name for US users in February 2025, so the rename and its appearance on Google Maps are supported. However, the sources say Google made the change because the U.S. Geographic Names Information System was updated under its standing policy, not because Trump changed the map himself; no source mentions him calling Google, so the claim overstates his direct role.7 sources →

    ▶ 28:21

38. 38FalseCanada charges a 409% tariff on milk imports from the United States after the first two bottles.The claim is false: under USMCA, US milk enters Canada tariff-free up to a large quota (about 50,000+ metric tons a year), so nothing is charged after two bottles. Over-quota rates are roughly 241-298% per the sources, not 409%, and they apply only above the quota, which US exports don't reach. The claim also departs from the passage's framing only in wording, not substance, and the 409% figure is the speaker's own, not a sourced rate.6 sources →

    ▶ 29:18

39. 39FalseThe United States loses 80 to 100 billion dollars a year to support a country that is not one of us.The claim that the US loses $80-100 billion a year supporting a country is contradicted: the quoted figure was a trade-deficit claim about Canada, not aid, and total US foreign assistance in the sources ($47.3B disbursed in FY2025, $11.8B disbursed in FY2026, about $50-56B appropriated) is far below $80-100B, let alone for one country. The extraction faithfully reflects the post, which was about Canada and the trade relationship, and as of 2026-10-15 the sources show no such aid outlay.8 sources →

    ▶ 29:49

40. 40TrueGreenland is much bigger than Texas.Multiple independent reliable sources, including Reuters (tier1) and WSJ (tier2), state Greenland is more than three times the size of Texas, and the Britannica and Geographical sources agree; the claim's 'much bigger' is consistent with a roughly threefold difference. The passage's own words are not evidence, and the claim matches the passage's wording without adding anything.7 sources →

    ▶ 30:18

41. 41FalseThe Islamic Republic of Iran has no military, navy, air force, radar, or anti-aircraft capabilities.The claim that Iran has no military, navy, air force, radar, or anti-aircraft capability is contradicted by multiple primary and tier-1 sources, which describe Iran as still fielding a military, missile and drone forces, and a degraded but existing navy, air force and air defenses as of 2026-10-15. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording, so it is graded on its content, not on whether the speaker said it.7 sources →

    ▶ 30:55

42. 42TrueThe US stock market has reached record-breaking levels.As of 2026-10-15, the US stock market was at or near record levels: AP and Al Jazeera reported the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting all-time highs on October 6, 2026, and the S&P 500 set a record earlier in October. Later declines (the October 30 sell-off leaving the index about 3.1% below its high) do not make the October 15 claim false, though the market was not necessarily at its record on that exact day.7 sources →

    ▶ 32:39

43. 43FalseThe United States has taken total control of the Hormuz Strait.The claim matches the post's wording, and the US Central Command and the White House assert US control of the strait. However, independent reporting dated 2026-10-15 says neither side controls the whole waterway, with Iran still contesting it, attacks ongoing, and traffic far below prewar levels, so 'total control' is contradicted as of the post date. The sources also show a real but partial US control over escorted and blockaded flows, which is an overstatement rather than a complete absence of US influence.6 sources →

    ▶ 33:39

44. 44TrueIncomes for Americans have reached the highest number in recorded history.The Census Bureau reported that real median household income for 2025 was $87,460, the highest on record since tracking began in 1967, and multiple reliable outlets corroborate this. The claim's 'recorded history' is effectively 'record since 1967', and the post's 'per individual' framing refers to household income, but neither changes the core assertion. The claim is accurate as of the October 15, 2026 posting date.8 sources →

    ▶ 37:52

45. 45MixedMore Americans are working today than at any time in the history of the United States.The claim is technically accurate in terms of raw numbers, but it is considered misleading because record employment is a natural consequence of population growth rather than a unique economic achievement.factcheck: mixed · factcheck: mixed · factcheck: mixed · factcheck: mixed · factcheck: true · factcheck: true7 sources →

    ▶ 38:16

46. 46MixedThe United States produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.The claim holds only under a broad measure. PolitiFact finds the U.S. surpasses Russia and Saudi Arabia combined when crude is counted with natural gas liquids and refinery processing gains, but on crude oil alone the U.S. (about 13.6 million b/d in 2025) falls short of Russia (about 9.9) plus Saudi Arabia (about 9.6). The claim's figure therefore depends on which measure is used. The passage is from 2026-10-15, and the EIA data it relies on covers 2025.5 sources →

    ▶ 39:33

47. 47MixedThe price of oil reached $1.85 during the Trump administration.Read literally as a crude oil price per barrel, the claim is contradicted: the Reuters fact-check says crude fell to a low of $3.32 a barrel in April 2020, not $1.85. Read as gasoline (the likely intent of the post, which was about pump prices), it is largely supported: gasoline hit about $1.77 a gallon nationally in April 2020 and PolitiFact puts the lowest weekly average under Trump's first term at $1.87. The record supports the gasoline reading and contradicts the barrel reading, so the verdict is mixed.5 sources →

    ▶ 40:31

48. 48MixedBarack Obama gave $1.7 billion in cash to Iran.The sources confirm the Obama administration paid $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016, entirely in cash, so the literal payment and cash form are accurate. However, the payment was a settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim over Iran's pre-revolution military equipment deposit plus interest, not a gift from Obama, so the 'gave' framing is contradicted by Snopes and omits context that CNN rated as 'roughly true'.5 sources →

    ▶ 41:00

49. 49FalseIran was two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon before B-2 bombers took out their sites.The claim's two-week figure rests on Trump's own repeated assertion, and an unrated fact-check article states there is no evidence Iran was ever close to a nuclear weapon. The AP and NIDS sources do not corroborate a two-week gap at the time of the strikes; the two-week warning they cite is an Israeli 2022 estimate. The post's claim also matches the extraction faithfully, so the verdict rests on that single dismissal.6 sources →

    ▶ 41:15

50. 50MixedThe poverty rate in the United States has reached its lowest level in American history.The official Census Bureau poverty rate fell to 10.2% in 2025, the lowest on record since 1959, so the claim holds on that measure. However, the Census Bureau's supplemental poverty measure (13.1%) was not at a record low, and the claim's unqualified 'poverty rate' depends on which measure is meant. As of the 2025-10-15 post date, the claim is accurate for the official rate but omits the supplemental-measure caveat.7 sources →

    ▶ 41:35

51. 51MixedMore people are currently employed in the United States than at any point in the nation's history.Under the payroll (establishment) survey, total employment was at a record high, and FactCheck.org confirms September's 159.0 million was more than ever before, so the literal count claim holds on that measure. Under the household survey, employment fell in 2026 and was lower in September 2026 (163.15 million) than in September 2025 (163.66 million), and the employment-population ratio is down, so the claim depends on which measure is used. As of 2026-10-15 the claim was supported on the payroll measure, but fact-checkers call it a misleading gauge driven by population growth.5 sources →

    ▶ 41:55

52. 52Can’t tellThe Biden administration received less than 1 trillion dollars in new investment into the United States over a 15-month period.The claim concerns a 15-month window that no source measures; the sources address Biden-era investment over his four-year term, and those figures are not directly comparable. Reuters' finding that over $1.3 trillion of the Trump website's claimed spending began under Biden, and the Biden White House's roughly $1 trillion in mobilized private investment, bracket the 'less than $1 trillion' figure but do not grade the 15-month claim itself.4 sources →

    ▶ 46:02

53. 53FalseThe Trump administration has secured 21.2 trillion dollars in investment for building plants and factories in the United States.The claim that $21.2 trillion in investment for plants and factories has been secured is contradicted by the record: FactCheck.org calls the $21 trillion figure an exaggeration, and the White House's own tally is $11.2 trillion 'in new investment in America, and counting' as of Oct. 22, about half the claimed amount. The figure also rests largely on speculative or routine announcements, and the claim as of 2026-10-15 is judged on that record, with no later development changing it.4 sources →

    ▶ 46:19

54. 54FalseThe United States went 45 years without building an auto factory.The claim that the US went 45 years without building an auto factory is contradicted by fact-checkers. AP and FactCheck.org both found that more than two dozen major vehicle assembly plants opened in the US over the past four decades, so the claim is false.3 sources →

    ▶ 46:37

55. 55TrueDonald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on foreign copper.Multiple primary sources confirm that Trump imposed 50% tariffs on copper imports under Section 232, effective August 1, 2025, and the tariffs were later modified in April 2026. The tariffs cover semi-finished copper products and copper-intensive derivatives, not raw inputs such as ores, cathodes, or scrap, which is a scope qualifier the claim omits but does not contradict its core assertion.5 sources →

    ▶ 47:47

56. 56MixedThe United States is the only country out of 59 that does not have a triumphal arc.The sources support a narrower version of the claim: Washington, D.C. has no triumphal arch, and Politifact reports Trump said D.C. was the only major capital without one. The broader claim that the US is the only country out of 59 without a triumphal arch is not supported. Sources list several US arches (Gateway Arch, Washington Square Arch, Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch), though they are commemorative rather than triumphal in the Arc de Triomphe sense, and no source verifies the figure of 59. As of 2026-10-15 the claim reflects the post's own assertion, and the proposed D.C. arch was still unbuilt.7 sources →

57. 57MixedThe administration approved over $1 billion of Ivanhoe Electric's copper project near Casa Grande.The sources support a figure just over $1 billion, but only as potential EXIM debt financing: a Preliminary Project Letter of up to $1.1 billion that explicitly is not a financing commitment, with final board deliberation expected in spring 2027. The claim's word 'approved' is therefore contradicted by sources that say the loan has not been approved, though the dollar magnitude is supported.6 sources →

58. 58MixedThe Resolution Copper mine near Phoenix, Arizona, will create 3,700 jobs.The 3,700 figure is supported only as a total that includes about 2,200 indirect jobs; the USDA Forest Service and the company's own direct-employment figure put direct jobs at about 1,500. The claim also departs from the post's wording only slightly, since the post says the mine 'will create 3,700 jobs' without specifying direct or total. Because the figure depends on the measure used, the verdict is mixed; the mine's approval (final record of decision, March 2026) is confirmed by source 1.7 sources →

59. 59TrueTSMC is building a $265 billion semiconductor manufacturing development in Arizona.Multiple reliable sources, including Commerce Department and City of Phoenix releases and a Reuters report, confirm TSMC's total Arizona investment is $265 billion across 12 facilities, made up of the original $65 billion plus a $100 billion expansion announced in July 2026. The sources describe this as planned investment, not completed construction, so 'building' is a reasonable paraphrase of the claim as of 2026-10-15.5 sources →

60. 60MixedGlobal Foundries is investing $21 billion to build two semiconductor factories in upstate New York.The $21 billion figure and the plan for two new semiconductor fabs at GlobalFoundries' Malta, New York site are well supported. But the sources say the money comes from Japan under a U.S.-Japan trade deal, with GlobalFoundries acting as technology provider and operator, so the claim that GlobalFoundries itself is investing $21 billion is contradicted. The post's wording matches the extraction, so this is not an extraction error.5 sources →

61. 61FalseThe United States government made a $72 billion profit from a deal with Intel.The claim that the U.S. government made a $72 billion profit from its Intel deal is grossly overstated. The sources show a government stake bought for about $8.9 billion (plus $2.2 billion in earlier grants), with paper gains that peaked around $30 billion or more and stood near $19 billion after a late-October 2026 share drop, and the one source citing $72 billion gives no methodology. The post was checked 18 days after posting, and sources published after it still do not support the figure.10 sources →

63. 63TrueEli Lilly, Merck, and Pfizer are moving drug manufacturing back to the United States.The sources show Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Merck all committing billions to expand US drug manufacturing before 2026-10-15, which supports the core claim that they are bringing manufacturing back to the US. The sources do not confirm Trump's specific added claim that this production was moving from Ireland, China, and the UK, but the extracted claim does not include that detail.8 sources →

64. 64TrueThe United States Constitution prohibits anyone who has served two terms as President from running for the office again.The 22nd Amendment's text says no person shall be elected President more than twice, so someone who has been elected to two terms cannot be elected again, which matches the claim. The extraction is faithful to the post, and the amendment's narrow exception for people who succeeded to the presidency and served over two years of another's term is a minor nuance that does not change the core claim.6 sources →

65. 65MixedDonald Trump gave every member of the United States military a bonus of 1776 dollars one year ago.The $1,776 warrior dividend was announced in December 2025 and sent to about 1.45 million service members, so the core payment is supported. However, sources say it went only to members in pay grades O-6 and below, excluding generals and admirals, so 'every member of the military' overstates it; the payment was also made in December 2025, not in October, which is roughly a year before the post.8 sources →

66. 66FalseThere is $21 trillion currently being invested in the United States.The claimed $21 trillion of investment being made in the U.S. is contradicted by the White House's own investment tracker, which totals about $11.3 trillion, and by official FDI figures showing roughly $232-259 billion in 2025. PolitiFact rated an earlier $18-22 trillion version of the claim False, and the figure was no better supported as of October 15, 2026, the date of the post.5 sources →

    ▶ 59:59

67. 67FalseThe Trump administration enacted the largest tax cuts in American history.Authoritative fact-checkers and analysts reject the claim: PolitiFact rated the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill claim 'Mostly False', and Tax Foundation ranks it sixth largest since 1940 (third when combined with the extended 2017 cuts). The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was likewise ranked well below the largest, and the claim's 'largest in history' superlative is not supported by any source.6 sources →

68. 68Can’t tellThe Democratic Party platform includes raising taxes by $5 trillion.The claim departs from the passage: the post says Democrats would "raise your taxes by 5 trillion dollars" and never mentions the party platform, so the extraction adds a referent the post did not make. Separately, the sources conflict on whether the 2024 Democratic platform itself calls for $5 trillion in tax increases, with one platform excerpt saying Democrats don't believe they should add $5 trillion to the debt.6 sources →

69. 69Can’t tellThe murder rate in the United States is at a 125-year low.The sources describe the 2025 U.S. murder rate as projected or likely to be the lowest since 1900, but none confirms it because FBI full-year data was not yet released. PolitiFact found it unclear whether the murder rate is at a 125-year low, and the claim's present-tense framing as of 2026-10-15 rests on that unconfirmed projection.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:19

70. 70TrueThe United States is currently experiencing its lowest murder rate since 1900.The FBI's 2025 data put the national murder rate at 4.1 per 100,000, tied with 1955 and 1956 as the lowest since records began in 1900, and CCJ's analysis says the same. Mid-2026 data show the decline continuing, so the claim held as of the October 15, 2026 post date.9 sources →

    ▶ 1:04:30

71. 71TrueThe Trump administration abolished all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in the military, federal government, and schools.Sources show the administration issued orders ending federal DEI offices and programs, eliminating DEI offices in the Pentagon and DHS, and ending DEI programs across federal agencies, and Reuters reports DEI offices being closed. The post's qualifier "discriminatory" was dropped in extraction, and school-level coverage is thinner than the military and federal coverage, so confidence is moderate.10 sources →

72. 72MixedAll Democrats in Congress voted against tax cuts.The record supports that no Democrat in Congress voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which contained the no-tax-on-tips, overtime and Social Security provisions. Read as a claim that Democrats voted against the tax cuts themselves, it is misleading, because FactCheck.org reports many Democrats said they supported those provisions while opposing the broader bill. The claim also drops the post's 'record-setting' framing and refers to tax cuts generally, where the post meant the specific 2025 law.6 sources →

73. 73TrueA Republican won the state of Nevada in the most recent election for the first time in many years.Multiple reliable sources confirm Donald Trump won Nevada's six electoral votes in the 2024 presidential election, the first Republican win there since George W. Bush in 2004, about 20 years earlier. The post's 'many years' and the claim's 'most recent election' both refer to that 2024 contest, and the claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:09:22

74. 74MixedThe Democratic Party has voted against legislative proposals requiring voter identification for voting.The sources support that Senate Democrats blocked a Republican bill that included photo voter ID and proof of citizenship, so the literal claim has a basis. But Democrats say they do not oppose photo ID itself and objected to the bill's other provisions, so the claim that they oppose voter ID requirements is contested. The main support comes from a Republican leadership research page, and the AP account is the more neutral source.4 sources →

    ▶ 1:10:00

75. 75TrueThe Democratic Party has voted against legislative proposals requiring proof of citizenship for voting.Multiple sources report that Democrats opposed the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register, with the AP stating Democrats are uniformly opposed and the Washington Examiner reporting that all but four House Democrats voted against the federal version. The post's 'they' refers to Democrats, so the claim fairly reflects the passage, though Democrats framed their objection to the bill's overall strictness rather than to proof of citizenship alone.4 sources →

    ▶ 1:10:00

76. 76MixedThe Democratic Party has voted against measures to secure the border.The record shows Democrats voted against several recent Republican border and immigration-enforcement measures, including the 2026 $70B enforcement bill (214-212, over Democratic objections) and the 2023 Secure the Border Act. But sources also show Democrats in large numbers backing border measures, such as the 2006 Secure Fence Act and a 2024 bipartisan Senate border bill that several Democrats supported, so a blanket party-wide claim is an overgeneralization. The post's 'they' reads naturally as Democrats, so the extraction is faithful.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:10:07

77. 77Can’t tellThe Democratic Party voted in favor of policies that resulted in the highest energy costs in American history.The sources document rising energy costs and some record-high gasoline prices in 2022, but none establishes that Democratic votes produced the highest energy costs in American history. PolitiFact (2022) found that green energy policies did not cause the record gas prices, which cuts against the causal attribution, but the claim's sweeping partisan superlative is not tested directly by the sources.9 sources →

    ▶ 1:10:13

78. 78Can’t tellA male athlete finished a long-distance race six hours, 14 minutes, and twelve seconds ahead of the women.The sources do not cover the race the claimant describes, which mixes swimming, cycling and running and is never named, so no source confirms or refutes a six-hour, 14-minute, 12-second winning margin. The sources cover marathons where the men's and women's winning gaps are roughly 18 minutes (NYC 2026) and 3 minutes 40 seconds (Sydney 2025), which are different events.3 sources →

    ▶ 1:11:58

79. 79Can’t tellDonald Trump has taken a cognitive test during every physical examination he has had while in office.Sources document a cognitive test at Trump's 2018, April 2025, and May 2026 physicals, and Trump's own statements say he takes one at every physical. No source establishes whether a test was given at every physical he has had in office, and none contradicts the claim, so the universal 'every physical' assertion is not confirmed.8 sources →

    ▶ 1:13:31

80. 80FalseJoe Biden was unable to answer a question on a cognitive test that asked him to identify a lion from a set of pictures.The claim that Biden failed a lion-identification question on a cognitive test is contradicted by sources showing he did not take such a test: Snopes reports Biden did not take a cognitive test during his February 2024 physical, and CBS News quotes him in 2020 saying he had not taken one. The claim comes from Trump's own words in the post, which are not evidence, and the claim's details track the post accurately.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:15:07

81. 81Can’t tellNo other president has taken the cognitive test that Donald Trump took.The sources show Trump repeatedly claiming he is the only president to take a cognitive test, but independent fact-checkers say this cannot be verified because there is no official record of whether other presidents took such tests privately. The claim is therefore unverifiable rather than true or false.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:19:30

82. 82Can’t tellDonald Trump has taken a cognitive test three times.The post's own account (three tests, with the last at a recent physical) matches what Trump has repeatedly said, but the sources only independently document about two tests: a 2018 test confirmed by his physician, and a 2025 test he mentioned at his first second-term physical. The third test rests only on Trump's own statements, which cannot corroborate the claim, so the count cannot be confirmed or refuted.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:19:36

83. 83Can’t tellKatie Hobbs made Arizona one of the least affordable states in the country.The claim repeats a ranking and causal attribution that Trump and Andy Biggs made, and the only support is partisan material (a campaign-linked memo calling Arizona the seventh least affordable state) plus candidate statements. No authoritative source confirms that Arizona was among the least affordable states or that Hobbs caused it, and the Common Sense Institute attributes housing costs to a lack of construction, while the state budget summary reports modest housing affordability improvement; the extracted wording matches the passage.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:20:54

84. 84FalseKatie Hobbs supported raising the sales tax to over 65%.The claim that Hobbs supported raising the sales tax to over 65% misreads the record. The only source on point describes a 2017 proposal, when Hobbs was a state senator, to raise a dedicated education sales tax by 66%, a relative increase in one tax rather than a sales tax rate of 65%. The claim also drops the 'your' and 'gas tax' context but is otherwise a faithful extraction of the post's wording.5 sources →

    ▶ 1:21:00

85. 85MixedKatie Hobbs vetoed bills to eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits.Sources confirm Hobbs vetoed Republican tax packages three times, and those packages included no tax on tips and overtime and relief for seniors, so the core claim has factual support. But the vetoed bills also carried business tax breaks and other provisions she objected to, and she supported the tips and overtime cuts and later signed a version of them, which reverses the implication that she opposed eliminating these taxes.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:21:11

86. 86TrueKatie Hobbs vetoed a bill that prohibited men from playing in women's sports.Sources show Hobbs vetoed the Arizona Women's Bill of Rights, which would have required separating sports teams by biological sex, so she vetoed a bill that would bar men from women's sports. The sources do not describe a bill with that exact wording, and the 2025 SB 1003 veto concerned locker rooms and bathrooms rather than sports, so confidence is moderate.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:21:30

87. 87MixedThe Apprentice television show ran for 14 seasons over 12 years.The 14-season count holds only for the Trump-hosted run (2004–2015, which is about 12 years), as AP and Reuters report. Wikipedia, Rotten Tomatoes, Screenrant, and NY Sun put the show's full run at 15 seasons over 2004–2017, so the claim as a description of the whole show is incorrect. The claim also departs from the passage only in dropping the Trump-hosted framing, not in adding a new figure.7 sources →

    ▶ 1:22:09

88. 88TrueDuring a State of the Union address, no Democrats stood up when asked who was for the American people.Multiple reliable sources report that Democrats stayed seated when Trump asked those who agreed with a patriotic statement to stand, and Republicans stood, so the core claim holds. The sources quote a different question wording ('first duty... protect American citizens, not illegal aliens') than the post's 'How many of you are for the American people?', and the claim's exact phrasing is not confirmed.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:24:04

89. 89TrueAdrian Fontez opposes voter ID requirements.The claim paraphrases the post's reference to Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (spelled 'Fontez' in the claim and post; the sources spell it 'Fontes'). Multiple sources show Fontes opposes Proposition 144, the voter ID requirement for mail-in ballots, so the claim holds in the sense the post meant. The sources do not show that he opposes voter ID requirements in general, and his own statements describe ID and citizenship documentation as existing practice, so the broad reading is unsupported rather than contradicted. The sources date from October 2026 and a 2024 statement, so the stance was documented on 2026-10-15.7 sources →

90. 90TrueBrendan Carr is the Chair of the Federal Communications Commission.Multiple sources, including the FCC's own leadership page (published 2026-11-01) and a Reuters article from 2026-09-30 identifying Carr as FCC Chair, confirm that Brendan Carr is chair of the Federal Communications Commission, designated by President Trump on January 20, 2025. The claim matches the passage's reference to 'FCC Chair Brendan Carr' and was true on 2026-10-15, as sources from before and after that date consistently show him in the role.7 sources →

91. 91TrueBill Pulte is the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.Multiple sources from June through October 2026 report that Bill Pulte, FHFA director, chairs the boards of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, having appointed himself to those posts in March 2025. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording, and the sources show the status held on 2026-10-15; the June 2026 acting DNI appointment does not change the chairmanship.8 sources →

92. 92Can’t tellDonald Trump won the state of Nevada in the 2020 election with the highest vote total in the history of Nevada.The sources show Joe Biden, not Trump, won Nevada in the 2020 election (50.06% to 47.67%), but the passage never names 2020; the extracted claim adds that year, so it departs from the post, which refers to an unspecified Nevada win. The post's 'highest vote in the history of Nevada' assertion is not corroborated by any source, so the claim as posted cannot be graded from these sources.3 sources →

    ▶ 1:29:42

93. 93TrueThe Republican Party won the state of Nevada in the most recent election with the highest vote total in the history of Nevada.Sources confirm Trump (R) carried Nevada in 2024 with about 751,205 votes, the most of any candidate in the election tables provided, so the claim that Republicans won Nevada with the highest vote total is directionally supported. No source explicitly calls it a state record, and the tables are partial, so confidence is moderate; the claim appears to refer to the 2024 presidential race, since the 2026 midterms had not yet been counted.6 sources →

94. 94TrueFloyd Mayweather has a professional boxing record of 50 wins and 0 losses.Multiple sources, including Reuters and BoxingScene, Britannica and Wikipedia-type records, state Mayweather's professional record is 50 wins and 0 losses, with his final bout a 2017 TKO of Conor McGregor. The claim's extraction from the passage ("undefeated, never lost a fight" and "50 and 0") matches the post's own words, and the post's question about the 50-0 record is consistent with the sources; exhibition bouts after 2017 are not counted in the professional record.5 sources →

    ▶ 1:32:48

95. 95FalseDonald Trump won 38 states in an initial election and 50 states in two subsequent elections.The claim that Trump won 50 states in each of two later elections is contradicted by the record: in 2020 he lost to Biden 232 to 306 electoral votes, and in 2024 he carried about 31 states plus one congressional district. The 38-state figure for the initial election also isn't supported, as the sources give Trump roughly 30 states in 2016, and the claim's extraction matches the passage.6 sources →

    ▶ 1:34:34

96. 96MixedDonald Trump's current approval rating among the Mega GOP is 98%.The 98% figure matches a CNN analysis by Harry Enten reporting 98% approval among MAGA Republicans in September, but it is a different subgroup and an earlier date than the claim's October 15 framing. Mainstream polls of all Republicans in October put approval at roughly 75-83%, so the figure holds only under the MAGA-subgroup measure and fails under the broader Republican measure.3 sources →

    ▶ 1:35:15

97. 97Can’t tell98% of people who voted against Donald Trump in the past say they will vote for House Republican candidates in the upcoming election.The claim departs from the passage: the 98% figure in the post refers to MAGA Republicans (who backed Trump 99% in 2024), not to people who voted against Trump, and no source reports a 98% figure for anti-Trump voters. Sources do show Republican likely voters at 96% supporting their party's candidates (ABC/Post/Ipsos, Oct. 9-13), but that is a different group and figure.7 sources →

98. 98Can’t tellThe book titled The War of Stories is available for purchase at badlandsmedia.tv/rise.The post says 'The War of Stories, available now at badlands media.tv slash rise,' and the extracted claim matches that wording faithfully. None of the sources mentions a book titled The War of Stories or confirms that badlandsmedia.tv/rise sells it; the phrase 'war of stories' appears only as podcast rhetoric, and the Badlands shop page lists other products. Absence of coverage is not contradiction, so the claim cannot be graded.2 sources →

99. 99Can’t tellThe New York Times and CNN leaked the departure and arrival times of B-2 bombers leaving from Missouri.The sources show only that Trump made this allegation at an Arizona rally; none independently confirms or refutes that the New York Times or CNN published B-2 departure and arrival times. The extracted claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage, so it is graded on the sources, which do not address the leak itself.11 sources →

    ▶ 34:46

100. 100Can’t tellThe New York Times and CNN reported the departure time of a military raid from Missouri.The sources only show that Trump said NYT and CNN reported the 12:07 departure time from Missouri; they repeat his claim and do not independently confirm or refute that either outlet published it. The extracted claim faithfully paraphrases the passage, and one source notes Trump did not identify the leaker or provide evidence.9 sources →

     ▶ 34:40

101. 101FalseJoe Biden caused the highest inflation in history.Multiple tier1 fact-checkers (Snopes, PolitiFact, FactCheck.org) and CNN explicitly rate the claim that Biden gave the US the highest inflation in history as false: the peak year-over-year rate under Biden was about 9.1% in June 2022, while the 1919-1920 and 1970s/early-1980s rates were far higher. The claim is correctly extracted from Trump's Bullhead City remarks (Oct 14, 2026), so it is graded on its substance.8 sources →

     ▶ 38:38

102. 102TrueThe United States government made a $10 billion profit on TikTok.Multiple sources report that the Trump administration is set to receive, and by October 2026 had received, a $10 billion fee tied to the TikTok U.S. joint venture deal, which supports the claim's core assertion. The sources describe this as a fee or windfall rather than a 'profit,' and the final $7.5 billion was scheduled in installments, so the 'profit' wording and the completion of payment are characterizations the sources do not fully settle.6 sources →

     ▶ 54:25

103. 103Can’t tellMinnesota law allows schools to facilitate gender transition for children without parental consent.The claim adds 'facilitate gender transition,' which the passage never says; the post only says schools can take a child out of school and 'do whatever,' so the claim departs from the passage and cannot be graded as the poster's statement. Even on the closest reading, the sources do not show a Minnesota law letting schools facilitate transition without parental consent: the health compendium reports no restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors, PolitiFact found the 2023 'Trans Refuge' law does not authorize taking custody from non-consenting parents, and the 2026 HF3533 and SF 5247 items are bill texts or status pages, not enacted law.5 sources →

104. 104FalseThe Democratic Party plans to grant amnesty to 25 million illegal aliens.The 25 million figure is contradicted: PolitiFact rated Trump's claim of 25 million illegal entries/immigrants False, noting research estimates of the illegal population ranged from 11 to 12 million, with a highest found estimate of 16.8 million. No source shows a Democratic Party plan to grant amnesty to 25 million people; sources show Democratic figures and bills supporting pathways to legal status, and PolitiFact called the broader 'full amnesty' framing misleading. The claim's core magnitude is not supported, and the post's 'they' is read as Democrats, which is a reasonable reading.8 sources →
105. 105MixedThe Supreme Court ruled that college admissions and military recruitment must be based on merit.The Supreme Court's 2023 SFFA decision ended race-conscious college admissions at Harvard and UNC, which supports part of the claim, but it did not require merit-based admissions and expressly did not address military academies, so the military element is contradicted. The claim also departs from the post's framing only by stating a Supreme Court ruling on military recruitment, which the sources do not show. The 2025 DOD settlement that ended race consideration at the academies was not a Supreme Court ruling.7 sources →

The post's own passage also says 104, so the claim is accurate on the event but wrong on the age figure and overstates Trump's personal role.6 sources →

107. 107MixedA CNN poll found that 99% of the Mega GOP voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.The 99% figure for MAGA Republicans' 2024 vote for Trump is reported in the sources, but they attribute it to CNN analyst Harry Enten's analysis, and Jake Tapper says it came from a non-CNN poll discussed on CNN, so the claim that a CNN poll found it is contradicted. Alternet also calls the poll non-existent, though that is a partisan characterization. The claim also uses 'Mega GOP' where the sources say 'MAGA Republicans'; this is the post's own transcription, so it is not an addition.4 sources →

108. 108True52% of Republicans admire Donald Trump the most among Republican candidates, compared to 18% for Ronald Reagan and 8% for Abraham Lincoln.Multiple reports of the CNN/SSRS poll (via Newsweek, Yahoo, Wonderwall, and Ground News) give 53% of Republicans naming Trump their most admired Republican president, with Reagan at 18% and Lincoln at 8%. The claim's 52% is within rounding of 53%, and the post itself says both 52% and 53%. The poll was fielded and published in August 2026, before the October 15 claim date, and no source says the figures changed by then. The sources are secondary reports of one poll, not the poll itself, so confidence is moderate.5 sources →

109. 109TrueDonald Trump claimed Katie Hobbs could not pass a cognitive test.Multiple reports of the October 14, 2026 Bullhead City rally quote Trump saying Katie Hobbs "is somebody that could not pass the test," and a transcript excerpt confirms it, so the claim that he made this assertion is supported. The claim concerns what Trump said, not whether Hobbs actually failed a test, and the sources do not address that underlying point.8 sources →
