Facts test Trump's rally on his first 100 days

Within two minutes after speaking at a rally near Detroit to celebrate 100 days of his second term, President Trump said to a lie: He won Michigan “three times”. In fact, he lost the state in the 2020 elections.

What followed on Tuesday was for an hour and a half with many familiar falsehoods and exaggerations about his performance, including the tariffs, immigration and its rollback from the guidelines of the bidges.

Mr. Trump called for a decline in the price and gas price of eggs and gas below 2 US dollars per gallon in three states. Both claims have been overvalued. The wholesale price for eggs has dropped by around 50 percent since office, but the retail price for eggs rose from January to March. And there is no condition in which gas is below 2 US dollars per gallon.

He recorded the signing of an executive regulation that ended the birthright for the children of immigrants without papers. But three federal courts temporarily kept the order. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about the case in May.

Mr. Trump claimed that the Efficiency of the Ministry of Government, the initiative headed by the billionaire Elon Musk, had saved “150 billion US dollars for waste, fraud and abuse. While the website of the Initiative highlights 160 billion US dollars, the reporting of the New York Times and other news agencies has shown that the numbers it showed them. Published on inflated numbers and errors, for example, including a contract of 318 million US dollars, which did not actually exist.

He claimed that he had presented a turn of military recruitment and “nobody wanted to join the military six months ago”. The recruitment of the military actually increased before his election in November, and the army recruited more people in August than in January or February.
