Falsely claimed in early April that the US was already taking in $2 billion, $3 billion, or even $3.5 billion per day in tariff revenue. The actual figure was in the hundreds of millions at most, not $2 billion, and it’s important to note that US importers, not foreign exporters, pay the tariff revenue. (CNN/AI Mode)
But you CAN do something. Hands Off is a great place to start. Indivisible is another great place. Another great blog is fafo.org. If you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest! It doesn't matter whether it's five people or 100,000. It doesn't matter if you're from #CalvertCity, #Caneyville, #Carrollton, #Clarkson or #Clinton in #Kentucky - or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!
By the way, the second some jackarse nominates her/him on the anti-trans bandwagon, offer your services in opposition immediately!!! I can't make any promises, but the sooner you're working, the better the chances! Oh,, if no one sticks their toe out, YOU can do it!!!

Falsely claimed that, before he came back to office, “We were losing $2 trillion a year on trade.” The total US deficit in goods and services trade in 2024 was about $918 billion; if you count only goods trade and ignore the services trade at which the US excels, it was about $1.2 trillion, still far shy of Trump’s figure. (And economists widely reject Trump’s notion that a trade deficit, the difference between the value of US imports and exports in a given year, is a loss.) (CNN/Open AI)

Falsely claimed the price of apples doubled during Biden’s presidency. Federal statistics show the price of apples increased by about 7% between the month Biden was sworn in as president and December 2024; it was about an 8% increase between January 2021 and January 2025. Neither was close to the 100% increase Trump claimed. (CNN/Open AI)

Falsely claimed the price of bacon “quadrupled” during Biden’s presidency. Federal statistics show the average price of a pound of sliced bacon in December 2024, Biden’s last full month in office, was up about 19% since January 2021, the month Biden was inaugurated; the average price in January 2025, Biden’s last partial month in office, was up about 21% since January 2021. Neither was close to the 300% increase Trump claimed. (CNN/Open AI)

Falsely claimed in April that “the cost of eggs has come down like 93, 94% since we took office.” The consumer price of eggs hit a record high in March, and while they might well have fallen in April, the decline certainly wasn’t 93% or 94%; wholesale egg prices had fallen roughly 52% since the week Trump took office.
