Please do not fall for the deliberate lies from the current Federal Government
Critical analysts and news outlets have identified several instances of inaccurate statements or "lies" attributed to various White House Press Secretaries. Below is a tabulation of documented examples where Press Secretaries were accused of providing false or misleading information.
Documented Falsehoods by White House Press Secretaries
| Press Secretary | Date | Claim / Incident | Fact Check / Correction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Karoline Leavitt | Jan 2026 | Denied President Trump mixed up Greenland and Iceland. | Footage showed the President saying "Iceland" three times during the speech. |
| Karoline Leavitt | Jan 2026 | Accused reporters of bias regarding ICE conduct. | Critics cited 32 deaths in ICE custody the previous year as evidence of legitimate reporting. |
| Karoline Leavitt | May 2025 | Claimed Donald Trump lost money while serving as President. | Widely disputed by financial analysts and multiple media outlets. |
| Karoline Leavitt | May 2025 | Claimed Trump's budget bill would not increase the deficit. | Independent estimates showed corporate tax cuts would add trillions to the national deficit. |
| Kayleigh McEnany | May 2020 | Claimed Robert Mueller offered a "complete and total exoneration" of Trump. | Mueller explicitly stated his report did not exonerate the President. |
| Kayleigh McEnany | May 2020 | Provided an inflated figure for the cost of the Mueller investigation. | Official Department of Justice reports indicated a significantly lower cost. |
| Sarah H. Sanders | May 2018 | Claimed the President was not aware of payments to Stormy Daniels. | Later contradicted by Rudy Giuliani, who confirmed Trump reimbursed the payments. |
| Karine Jean-Pierre | Apr 2023 | Stated Joe Biden took more "shouted questions" than any previous President. | Analysts and press corps members noted this was statistically inaccurate compared to predecessors. |
| Sean Spicer | Jan 2017 | Claimed Trump's inauguration had the "largest audience ever". | Aerial photography and public transit data proved the 2009 inauguration was larger. |
Contextual Notes
- Accountability: Many of these instances led to direct confrontations in the White House Briefing Room, with journalists often citing official data or video evidence to challenge the Press Secretary's narrative.
- Editorial Defense: The White House sometimes counters these accusations by labeling critical reporting as "malpractice" or "fake news".
- Shift in Strategy: Recent briefings under the Trump administration have been characterized by some observers as increasingly combative, focusing on attacking reporters' credibility when challenged on facts.
In 2025 and early 2026, the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been accused by news organizations, fact-checkers, and state officials of disseminating numerous falsehoods, particularly regarding immigration enforcement and use-of-force incidents
. Documented Falsehoods by DHS Leadership (2025–2026)
| Date | Official(s) | Claim / Statement | Fact Check / Reality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 2026 | Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem | Labeled Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse shot by agents, an "assassin" and "domestic terrorist". | Video evidence showed Pretti was empty-handed or holding a cell phone and made no threatening moves. |
| Jan 2026 | Kristi Noem | Claimed Alex Pretti was "brandishing" a weapon before being shot. | Video showed he had a handgun in a holster; it was never drawn or "brandished". |
| Jan 2026 | DHS / ICE | Stated agents "arrested" dozens of individuals in Minnesota. | The Minnesota DOC confirmed these were voluntary transfers of inmates already in state custody, not new "arrests". |
| Jan 2026 | DHS | Claimed a federal vehicle was "boxed in" and "rammed" by 10 civilian cars. | Video showed only one civilian car, which was actually rammed by DHS, leading to the dismissal of all charges. |
| Dec 2025 | Kristi Noem | Stated the U.S. had no control over the detention of deportees sent to El Salvador. | Court findings revealed the U.S. arranged and paid for El Salvador to imprison these individuals. |
| Sept 2025 | DHS | Claimed 1.6 to 2 million immigrants had "self-deported" since January. | The Center for Migration Studies labeled this a "fantasy," estimating the real number at closer to 400,000. |
| July 2025 | Donald Trump | Denied any involvement with or knowledge of Project 2025. | Trump later openly admitted to using the plan to identify agencies for budget cuts. [His White House staff wrote Project 2025 and they are following it step for step. He and his advisors committed fraud during the elections because they promised things they had no intention of even attempting.] |
Context and Implications
- Strategic Rhetoric: Observers note that Stephen Miller, serving as a senior advisor, frequently uses hyperbolic language (e.g., "invasion," "terrorist") to frame immigration enforcement, which DHS leadership then echoes in official briefings.
- Judicial Conflict: DHS has been cited for misleading courts regarding the treatment of deportees and the legal justification for warrantless home entries.
- Hatch Act Concerns: Secretary Noem was criticized for a TSA security video that explicitly blamed Democrats for a government shutdown, which legal experts identified as a potential violation of federal law prohibiting partisan activity by executive employees.
- White House regularly promotes White Supremacy, NAZI SLOGANS, Nazi policies, and worse.
- Recent reports and analyses from January 2026 highlight several instances where Trump administration messaging has been accused of echoing Nazi or white supremacist rhetoric.Official Government Social Media PostsMultiple federal agencies have recently published content that experts identify as having links to far-right or Nazi-era slogans:
- Department of Labor: Posted a video captioned "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.". Critics and experts noted its close resemblance to the Nazi slogan "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" ("One People, One Realm, One Leader").
- Department of Homeland Security (DHS): Published an image with the text "We’ll have our home again". This phrase is nearly identical to lyrics from a song by a group affiliated with the Männerbund, a far-right movement drawing on Germany’s ethno-nationalist Völkisch movement.
- White House: Shared a cartoon asking, "Which way, Greenland man?". Extremism experts state the phrase "Which way, Western man?" is a "key concept in neo-Nazi and white supremacist subculture".
Personnel and Appointments- Paul Ingrassia: Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel withdrew in late 2025 after Politico reported on leaked group chat messages where he allegedly stated he had a "Nazi streak".
- Inauguration Gesture: During the 2025 inauguration, the Lemkin Institute issued a "Red Flag Alert" after Elon Musk, then a close advisor, was seen performing what some interpreted as a Nazi salute.
Past and Ongoing Rhetoric- Dehumanizing Language: Donald Trump has frequently used terms like "vermin" to describe political opponents and "animals" or "invaders" for immigrants, which historians have compared to dehumanizing language used by 20th-century dictators.
- Campaign Symbols: Previous controversies include a campaign shirt featuring an eagle symbol similar to the Nazi Reichsadler and the use of a red inverted triangle—a symbol used in Nazi concentration camps—in social media ads.
Administration ResponseThe White House and relevant departments have generally dismissed these claims. A White House spokeswoman characterized the criticisms as "boring and tired", while a DHS spokesperson stated their posts were references to border security and not extremist material.
