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.
What was said
… In four long years of Crooked Joe Biden and the Biden administration, one of the most evil administrations he's a dumb guy, but I'll tell you, his administration was evil. They had evil people, smart people, radical left people, but they were smart. They got less than 1 trillion dollars of new investment invested into the United States. So think of it: much less, half, much less than 1 trillion dollars in 15 months. That was we're not even including the last three or four months in 15 months, not four years. We have 21.2 trillion. So we have 21 trillion, 200 million dollars invested, building plants, factories, building everything all over our country. …

Contradicts. Reuters found just under half of the Trump website's claimed $2.6 trillion, more than $1.3 trillion, originated under Biden or was routine spending, which cuts against a sub-$1 trillion Biden-era total, though it measures a different set of projects over four years.[1]
Context. FactCheck.org quotes Trump saying Democrats secured 'less than $1 trillion in new investments' in four years under Biden, but does not rate that figure.[2]
Context. The Biden White House report says federal investments mobilized about $1 trillion in private-sector investment in clean energy and manufacturing, a figure that sits at the claimed threshold and covers the Biden laws rather than a 15-month window.[4]
Context. No source measures Biden-administration investment over a 15-month period; the post itself mixes 'four long years' with '15 months', so the claim's timeframe is not checkable against these sources.[2][3]
