Here’s our fact-check of President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, in video form.
The video, produced by FactCheck.org Social Media Manager Josh Diehl, is based on our article on the president’s March 4 speech.
Our staff found that Trump made exaggerated, misleading or unsupported claims about finding fraud in government spending, including in Social Security; U.S. versus European aid to Ukraine; the state of the economy when he took office; the closure of power plants; fentanyl coming across the border with Canada; the Panama Canal — and more. We had written about many of these claims before.
