Here’s the updated version with a timeline:
📑 Trump’s 2025 “Stupid / Misleading” Statements — Master Tracker (by Month)
📅 January 2025
- “The 2020 election was totally rigged.” (Inaugural address)
False. Courts, audits, and recounts found no systemic fraud. - “Many immigrants are criminals, from prisons and mental institutions.”
No evidence foreign governments are dumping inmates into the U.S. - “The U.S. has the largest oil & gas reserves … we may be a substantially enlarged country soon.” (World Economic Forum, Davos)
Wrong on reserves; “enlarged” remark bizarre. - Threatened 100% tariffs on foreign films.
Impractical; misunderstands global film industry. - “Hidden taxes, radical left lunacy” destroying the economy. (Las Vegas speech)
Vague, unsupported claim. - “21 million people poured into the U.S. in the last four years.”
Exaggerated; border “encounters” ≠ permanent immigration.
📅 February 2025
- “Illegal crossings are the lowest ever recorded.”
True for February 2025 data, but misleading without seasonal context. - “I got much more than 77 million votes in 2024 … they cheated like hell.” (CPAC)
No credible evidence; 77M is the certified total.
📅 March 2025
- “We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years … maybe in history.” (Congress address)
Exaggeration. 1970s/’80s saw higher. - “Paris climate agreement cost us trillions.”
No direct trillions-cost; benefits ignored. - DOGE found ‘hundreds of billions’ in waste/fraud.
Inflated; real figure ~$105B, with errors. - “Autism was 1 in 10,000 … now 1 in 36.”
Current figure correct, past comparison misleading. - Claim about Social Security having people “100, 200, 300 years old” receiving payments.
Based on data quirks, not reality; misleading.
📅 April 2025
- “I run the country and the world.” (The Atlantic interview)
Hyperbolic, authoritarian-sounding.
📅 June 2025
- Jerome Powell is “stupid,” “low IQ,” “average mentally person.”
Insults Fed chair; undermines central bank credibility.
📅 July 2025
- Jerome Powell is “too angry, too stupid & too political.”
Continuation of personal attacks on Fed chair.
📅 (Ongoing 2025)
- Promoted “medbeds” conspiracy video (date unclear, later deleted).
Pseudoscience; AI-generated misinformation.
⚡ This tracker will grow month by month as new statements come out.
