President Donald Trump made several false claims during his speech to a joint session of Congress, including statements about savings found by the Department of Government Efficiency, inflation, immigration, and more. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, claims to have saved taxpayers $105 billion, but evidence for this figure is lacking. Trump also claimed that millions were spent on making mice transgender, which was actually a project involving monkeys to study their immune system and HIV susceptibility. Trump’s statements about tariffs, small-business optimism, the Green New Deal, illegal border crossings, migrants from mental institutions, weaponizing the Justice Department, inflation, and undocumented immigrants were all fact-checked and found to be inaccurate. Overall, Trump’s claims during his speech were not supported by evidence or were misleading. CNN’s fact-checking team provided context and clarification on these various topics to correct the misinformation presented by Trump.
