"Dale wrote on CNN.com that Trump's first calendar year back in the White House was an unceasing parade of lies, much like his first term. The difference, according to Dale, was how often Trump repeated the same lies over and over with staggering frequency. Trump relied on a core set of go-to fabrications he deployed virtually no matter the setting and no matter how many times they had been debunked, Dale explained."
"When it came to the topic of inflation, tariffs, and the economy, Trump told four main whoppers: Lie: Trump secured $17 trillion or $18 trillion in investment in 2025 Lie: Every price is down' Lie: Trump was reducing prescription drug prices by 2,000%, 3,000%' Lie: Foreign countries pay the US government's tariffs Public safety lies, according to Dale included: Lie: Portland was burning down'"
"Dale listed a whopping eight Trump lies on foreign affairs: Lie: Ukraine started' Russia's war on Ukraine Lie: Trump was speaking in jest' when he promised to immediately end the Ukraine war Lie: The US government had planned to spend $50 million on condoms for Hamas' Lie: Every drug boat in the Caribbean kills 25,000 Americans' Lie: Trump didn't say' he had no problem releasing full footage of a September boat strike"
Twenty-five notable false claims by Donald Trump in 2025 were identified, emphasizing frequent repetition and selection based on repetition frequency, consequence, and distance from reality. The false claims cluster around the economy and tariffs, public safety, and foreign affairs. Economic examples include exaggerated investment figures, claims that every price fell, implausible prescription drug price reductions, and assertions that foreign countries pay U.S. tariffs. Public safety examples include overstated urban violence and misleading crime claims. Foreign affairs examples include misrepresentations about the origins and end of the Ukraine war, false spending claims, and exaggerated claims about foreign leaders and migration.
