Trump's 13 biggest lies in the first month after taking office

Trump's 13 biggest lies in the first month after taking office

Washington - President Donald Trump moved at a breathtaking pace in his first month after returning to the White House. He spread falsehoods quickly and unabashedly.

The lies of Donald Trump

in speeches, interviews, intermediate journalistic exchange and social media, Trump filled his public statements not only with exaggerations, but also with gross false statements. As already during his first term, Trump gave false claims with a frequency and diversity of no other elected incumbent in Washington.

The 13 biggest lies of Trump since his inauguration

Here is our list of Trump's biggest lies since its inauguration on January 20. The selection was not easy.

The alleged condom contract with Hamas

As a press spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, at her first official press conference in the White House, Trump announced that Trump had stopped spending $ 50 million "for condoms in Gaza", it was immediately clear that this claim was extremely doubtful; The Trump administration had no evidence of this. Nevertheless, Trump repeated the $ 50 million number the following day and added the explosive claim that the condoms were "for Hamas". Days later when it became apparent that the 50 million were only invented, he increased the sum to "$ 100 million".

The blame to Ukraine

Russia began war in Ukraine with its invasion in 2022. This is an obvious fact. But when Trump abbreviated the Ukrainians' lawsuits on their exclusion from the US Russia negotiations at the end of the war, he incorrectly accused Ukraine of starting the war and said: "You should never have started with it. You could have done an agreement." Such claims are hardly more than ridiculous propaganda in Kremlin style, this time from the mouth of the President of the United States.

birthless citizenship

Trump provided a supposedly plausible reason for his attempt to abolish the birthplace citizenship. The United States, he claimed, were the only country with such citizenship. But that's not true; Many countries, including Canada and Mexico, also grant automatic citizenship for people born in their territory.

The distorted reality of January 6th

For years, Trump has been presenting a version of the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, which hardly matches the actual events. When he was asked in February why he had given pardon for people who had attacked the emergency services, he claimed that the pardon was "attacked by our government" and had "not attacked". This statement was a brazen denial of the obvious truth, which is documented in numerous videos.

wrong game with California's water policy

In the middle of disasters, Trump once again spread false statements. He linked the forest fires in Los Angeles with California's decision to use water to protect a fish in the north of the state - although these two things had nothing to do with each other.

The election lie that does not want to pass

What else can you say about these lie? Trump's assumption that he had won the “fair and free” election in 2024 did not stop him from continuing to spread his endless lies about defeat 2020.

repeated false statements about Olympic boxes

To support his efforts to exclude transgender athletes from the Olympic Games, Trump again said the story that two gold medalists in the women's boxing are men who "transit". That is simply wrong.

The invented neighboring love for Canada

Before taking office, Trump claimed that the Canadians would like his idea of making Canada the 51st state of the United States. However, this did not correspond to the truth; This idea is extremely unpopular in Canada.

The shelling of bids for a Trump program

After the fatal collision between a military helicopter and a passenger aircraft, Trump blamed bidges for diversity initiatives of the FAA without providing evidence that they had to do with the crash.

constant misleading about tariffs

When Trump spoke about the tariffs he had raised to Chinese imports during his first term, he mentioned how much money these tariffs would have generated for the US state fund. At the same time, however, he did not admit that the US importers ultimately had to pay the tariffs.

exaggeration in death rates of autism

Trump flirted again with the long -repelled conspiracy theory that vaccinations against children's autism were responsible. In a social media post, it surpasses the extent of the increase in autismrans.

chinas (incorrect) control over the Panama Canal

Much of Trump's lies is improvised. In his inaugural speech, however, he claimed China operated the Panama Canal, which simply does not apply.

Trump's dominance in the youth choice

Trump repeated an inaccurate statement that he won the votes of the young voters "with 36 points". In fact, surveys show that he lost the youth votes to Kamala Harris.
