Here's a fact check of some of President Trump's claims, including a bunch of long-debunked lies, from a single softball New York Post interview released this morning.
Claim: "We're the only country in the world that has mail-in ballots." Truth: Dozens of countries have mail-in ballots, including Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, and Switzerland.
Claim: The 2020 election was "rigged" and has "been proven to be rigged." Truth: Not rigged, there's no proof for Trump's assertion more than five years later, and he lost fair and square.
Claim: Trump won "three" presidential elections. Truth: He won in 2016 and 2024, lost in 2020.
Claim: In the 2024 election, "There were areas that were just rigged ... rigged against me." Truth: Nonsense again; he won that election fair and square but lost some areas of the country fair and square.
Claim: Democrats "could not win" "if they didn't cheat." Truth: Democrats, like Republicans, clearly win various elections legitimately.
Claim: California mails out "38 million ballots," and while "some people get three, four, five ballots," "Republicans get, oftentimes, none." Truth: California mails a ballot to all active registered voters, of which there are 23 million, not the "38 million" figure Trump has used repeatedly; while there are occasional errors by county elections offices and the postal service, there's no general anti-Republican bias in ballot-mailing in the state.
Claim: "I inherited the highest inflation in the history of our country ... Biden had like 9, 10% inflation. And I inherited that, and we have it way down." Truth: The inflation rate the month Trump returned to office was 3.0%, lower than the most recent rate of 3.8%; Biden-era inflation did peak at 9.1%, but that was in mid-2022, and it wasn't close to the all-time record of 23.7%. Regardless, it had fallen substantially before Trump's inauguration.
Claim: "We have $18 trillion being invested in the country in just 11 months." Truth: This is a completely fictional figure. The White House's own website says there have been $10.6 trillion in "major investment announcements" this term, and even that's a massive exaggeration that counts vague pledges, not-even-pledges, and pledges that are about mutual trade rather than investments in the US.
Claim: Trump had gas prices at "$1.85 in Iowa" on the day he visited there in January. Truth: The Iowa average gas price that day was $2.57 per gallon, per AAA; GasBuddy found four stations in the state out of 2,036 selling for $1.97 that day, none at $1.85; the station outside the venue where he spoke was at $2.69. (Ethanol-gas blend E85 was around $1.85, but that can only be used in a small percentage of cars, and he didn't say that was what he was talking about.)
Claim: Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was still wearing a mask "a couple of months ago." Truth: I've found no evidence for this; the Talarico video many Republicans have mocked shows Talarico wearing a mask in 2022, not 2026.
