The falsehoods spanned a wide variety of topics, including aid to Ukraine, trade with the European Union, the history of the EU, inflation, mail-in voting, drug overdose deaths, and where the US stands in international education rankings.
Trump also left out critical context from two claims related to Elon Musk's efforts to reshape the federal government. Here is a fact check of some of Trump's statements.
