Let’s run through some recent numbers connected to our truth-challenged (i.e., pathologically lying) President:
45,000. Trump claimed on Truth Social (no link - will never do that to readers) that 45,000 people attended his rally speech at the Great American Fair.
Fake News. Total Lie. Actual estimates put the crowd at 1,000 people. Furthermore, CNN reports that Trump told people in his Admin to take down photos of the rally.
Does this look like 45,000 people?
Verdict: Fake News. Total Lie.
Do you believe Trump or your lying eyes?

$19.2 Trillion. Over the July 4th weekend, Trump bragged that the U.S. has received $19.2 trillion in investments from overseas (h/t to ) for this snapshot:
Verdict: Fake News. Total Lie.
Per the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), in 2025, the U.S. actually received $232.2 billion of direct investment from overseas. That amounts to 1.2% of Trump’s fabricated number. On another note, the estimated total GDP for the U.S. in 2025 was $30 trillion. So Trump is saying that we have gotten investment equal to 64% of our current GDP from overseas. $19.2 trillion? Impossible. Finally, let’s take a look at the GDP of some potential foreign country investors: Germany - $ 5 trillion, Japan - $4.5 trillion, Saudi Arabia - $1.28 trillion. Again, impossible.

$2.2 billion, 1 million and $3.8 billion. From Yahoo Finance:
Nearly a Million Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on Trump Crypto Coin
A report from a cryptocurrency analytics firm details how those who bought the Trump memecoin have fared, with most retail investors having lost money while sophisticated traders did better.
Verdict: Reality.
The scam here is being done in plain sight. Now don’t get me wrong - anyone who is willing to invest in a Trump memecoin deserves what they get. But the numbers here are truly astounding. Nearly 1 million people who invested in this scam lost money while the value of the memecoin feel by 98%.
And just in case you are wondering if the grift extends to Trump’s family members, if you invested $100,000 in the MELANIA memecoin at its peak, you’d have approximately $608 today.

While the legacy media did report in Trump’s crypto grifting, on balance, they still refuse to call out Trump’s incessant, easily verifiable and blatant lying.
They are clearly not up to the task…
