FACT FOCUS: A look at false and misleading claims made by Trump during his first week back in office
Briefly

In his recent speeches and media appearances, President Trump has propagated numerous falsehoods regarding the 2024 Presidential Election results. Despite winning the electoral vote decisively, he exaggerates the margin of victory while falsely claiming a overwhelming mandate from voters. Additionally, he misrepresents youth voting trends, suggesting significant support among younger Americans when, in fact, he lost that demographic according to reputable survey data. These instances underline a pattern of misleading narratives that can impact public perception and policy discussions.
Trump's margin of victory in the 2024 election was not as large as he makes it seem. He won the electoral vote 312 to 226, but the popular vote was far closer.
