## Trump's Midterm Rallies
President Donald Trump traveled across the country holding campaign rallies supporting Republican candidates in the 2026 midterms.
## False Inflation Claim
Trump falsely claimed he inherited the worst inflation in American history, then said it was down to 1.8% by 2026.
## Inflation Misrepresentation
Core inflation was 2.6% for the 12 months ending in September 2026, not 1.7% as Trump claimed.
## Oil Price Claim
Trump said oil prices would drop significantly after the Iran war ended, but prices rose from $66.96 to $105.25 in October 2026.
## Poverty Rate Claim
Trump claimed the poverty rate reached its lowest level in American history, but the supplemental poverty measure shows higher rates.
## More People Working
Trump said more Americans were working than at any time in history, but employment-to-population ratio declined since 2025.
## Economic Growth Claim
Trump claimed his terms had the greatest economic growth, but real GDP growth peaked at 3% in 2018 and was 2.3% in 2025.
## Investing in America
Trump claimed $21 trillion was invested in the U.S., but White House data shows only $11.2 trillion in new investment.
## Factories Claim
Trump said more factories were being built than at any time in history, but manufacturing construction spending declined since late 2024.
## Medicare Checks
Trump claimed Medicare funds were hidden and would pay seniors $100 checks, but payments are $90 each from a $2 billion fund.
## $5,000 Checks
Trump promised $5,000 checks to all citizens if Republicans win Congress, but funding would cost $1.2 trillion.
## Tax Cuts Claim
Trump claimed tax cuts for tips, overtime, and Social Security, but exclusions have income limits and expire after 2028.
## Prescription Drug Prices
Trump claimed drug prices dropped by 300-700 percent under his agreements, but evidence shows minimal savings for Americans.
## Violent Crime Claim
Trump claimed violent crime dropped significantly under his presidency, but declines were part of long-term trends.
## Drug Smuggling Claim
Trump claimed drug smuggling dropped by 97% after the Iran war, but data shows cherry-picked seizure figures.
## Illegal Immigration Claim
Trump claimed 25 million people entered illegally, but actual numbers are 7.3 million caught crossing borders.
## Zero Admissions Claim
Trump claimed zero illegal aliens were admitted in 17 months, but Border Patrol apprehends 5,000-10,000 migrants monthly.
## Climate Change Claim
Trump falsely claimed climate change wasn't real and the world was getting cooler, but global temperatures have been rising.
## Ending Wars Claim
Trump claimed he settled eight wars, but experts credit him with four conflicts and other presidents helped end wars too.
## 2020 Election Claim
Trump falsely claimed Democrats cheated in the 2020 election, but Biden won more popular votes and electoral votes.
