State of the Union: US Media Catches President Donald Trump’s 5 Big Lies

Washington: February 25, 2026

President Donald Trump set record for longest State of the Union address but landed in controversy over false claims. Major outlets like New York Times fact-checked speech, exposing 5 major assertions as completely false or misleading.

1. Economy & Jobs Claim

Trump claimed America thriving historically with peak jobs. US Labor Bureau data shows 2025 job growth crashed—only 181,000 added vs. higher pandemic recovery years.

2. Arena Jaruska Murder & Immigrants

Trump blamed illegal immigrant for Arena Jaruska murder. Fact-check: Arrested DeCarlos Brown Jr. is US citizen, not migrant.

3. Electricity Bill Cuts

Claimed policies slashed bills unbelievably. Reality: US household energy costs rose 6.7% last year; experts predict 18% more by 2035 due to utility demands.

4. Misleading Gas Price Figures

Boasted gas at $1.99/gallon. Current reports: Many states near $4.60/gallon; environmental curbs likely raise prices further.

5. Stopped 8 Wars Claim

Foreign policy boast: Halted 8 wars in first 10 months. Facts: US directly involved in just 6 conflicts. Gaza ceasefire claim hollow—Israeli strikes, casualties continue.
