Rhetoric is not reality.

Inflation has cooled — it has not “plummeted.”

There is no verified $18 trillion investment surge.

Border crossings have declined — they are not zero.

Crime trends vary — they are not at “historic lows.”

Tariffs are largely paid by American businesses and consumers.

There is no credible evidence of widespread election fraud.

Facts matter.

Numbers matter.

Precision matters.

When leaders exaggerate, trust erodes.

When claims outrun evidence, credibility suffers.

Patriotism requires accountability — not applause lines.
