In Donald Trump’s maiden term as President, the stream of misinformation that was relentlessly churned out by an alleged biased media, aided by the preceding Obama administration and succeeded by the Biden regime, successfully cloaked the truth from a significant segment of the US populace. There’s a beacon of hope that the truth might yet surface and restore justice, courtesy of recent revelations made by Tulsi Gabbard. However, expecting the mainstream media to shed an unbiased light on these substantiated matters would be naive, given their track record in recent history.
In the aftermath of a four year period during which they persistently concealed the incompetencies of Joe Biden, and subsequent exposure of these manipulations, one would anticipate that the media moguls might now reel in their constant manufacture of deceit. But to the contrary, the incessant stream of disinformation propagated by certain media outlets and leftist factions is unabated, sinking to unprecedented depths. The multitude of false claims fabricated from 2016 to 2024, with the intent of sabotaging Trump’s second term as well as to tarnish his administrators and allies, are gradually being debunked. Following are a few select instances from hundreds of deceitful news items.
The narrative was spun that Texas floods were a consequence of spending reductions imposed by Trump in the realm of weather-related departments. However, it was later found that there were no cuts planned for 2025. A sensational accusation levelled by the CNN network mimicked widespread shock over President Trump’s statement that the Biden administration had profusely invested to induce transgender transformations in mice. Surprisingly, this pronouncement was subsequently vindicated.
Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell made the dubious claim that within the incumbent president’s initial month, an unprecedented number of aviation-related mishaps totaling 35 had occurred. In reality, Biden’s inauguration month had witnessed a higher figure of 57 such incidents. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s sensationalist claim of an elementary school being subjected to an ICE raid turned out to be a U.S. Secret Service investigation unrelated to immigration matters.
Another unfounded challenge was aimed at Trump’s measures to eliminate waste, fraud, and misappropriation, which were disapproved by the residents of conservative-leaning districts. Unsurprisingly, these ‘protestations’ were unveiled as being financially backed by extreme-left alliances. The claim that astronauts, who had been on a space mission for nine months, were ‘not stranded’, though previously described as such by NPR, was publicly decried when Trump revealed plans to secure their return, subsequently changing their tune.
Speculation about the White House pursuing a new Secretary of Defense was widely tossed around, but this was far from the truth. Another claim suggested that Trump referred to European nations as ‘parasites’. This was debunked by Trump personally, who received support from the Italian Prime Minister in this respect.
Amidst claims that the Trump administration halted a UN program aiming to prevent the import of fentanyl chemicals to Mexican drug cartels, it was later revealed that the State Department was, in fact, looking to extend the initiative. Accusations that Trump was striving to terminate Medicaid and other forms of public assistance clashed with his budget cuts, which clearly excluded Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.
Unverified reports of DOGE unveiling classified information on their website were quashed upon discovery that the alleged posting was merely an employment count, public information for years prior. The derogatory tag of ‘dirtbags’, attributed to Kristi Noem’s remark towards Venezuelan immigrants, was clarified as having been directed specifically at gang members of Tren de Aragua. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who allegedly sought to ‘prohibit fluoride in drinking water’, was reported to have shared concerns over fluoride potentially reducing IQ scores in children.
In contrast to the rumor that President Trump was targeting Social Security, he frequently vowed to safeguard and bolster the program. There was speculation about potential harm to veterans’ welfare due to layoffs in VA hospitals; however, this assertion was deemed baseless by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Jasmine Crockett blamed President Trump for the Reagan National Airport plane crash, claiming a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers. Contrarily, air traffic controllers were exempted from a government-wide hiring freeze.
Countering the claim that President Trump removed Barack Obama’s portrait from the White House, it was clarified that the portrait was simply relocated within the same vicinity. In response to allegations of the Trump administration pushing for a repeal of sanctions over Russian energy resources, including the Nord Stream pipeline, both parties declared these as unfounded.
The disappearance of an illegally immigrated detainee turned out to be a legal expulsion ordered by a judge, as the individual was a part of Tren de Aragua. Accusations leveled on JD Vance for breaching Vatican rules by photographing in the Sistine Chapel were debunked when the Vatican confirmed that permission was indeed granted. Claims of potential funding reductions for the Women’s Health Initiative by the DHHS were later discarded as the project was deemed ‘mission critical’.
A petition attributed to the Trump administration was allegedly circulated to amass $140k for ‘upgrades’ to an official residence. This was completely rebuffed by the AP. In the wake of rumors that Trump administration aimed to scale back firefighter health and safety programs, it was clarified that these programs remained a high priority. Assertions that Trump’s policies alarmed foreign investors and deterred them from investing in the U.S were proven generally incorrect when the president secured a couple of trillion dollars in investments, potentially creating nearly half a million new jobs.
Despite being highly educated, a large portion of the American populace falls prey to these daily deceptions. These falsehoods prove not to be harmless, but indeed detrimental to the nation as they are consistently fed to the public. Ignorance is no longer blissful, but harmful to our country’s integrity and future prospects.
