Methodology

What counts

A claim gets logged here when it is false, directly contradicted by evidence, materially misleading, or used to justify harmful policy under false pretenses.

How it is labeled

Severity is not about drama. It is about consequence: public harm, democratic harm, economic damage, legal exposure, or human suffering.

How it is sourced

Each entry links to primary reporting, fact checks, official records, or the site’s longer explainer posts. No vague “people are saying” garbage.

Why this exists

Because memory gets flooded. A tracker like this keeps dates, claims, receipts, and consequences in one place — where spin dies on contact.

Trump Economy / Tariffs 2025–2026 Level 4 — Public deception

“Other countries are paying the tariffs.”

No. American importers pay them. Then families and businesses eat the cost.

direct link hide facts
The claim

Trump repeatedly says tariffs are paid by foreign countries and that the US is simply “taking in” the money.

What the record shows

Tariffs are paid by US importers. Those costs get passed through the supply chain and land on American businesses and consumers.

Why it matters

This is not a messaging error. It hides the real cost of policy. If people do not understand who pays, they cannot understand why prices rise, why small businesses get squeezed, or why courts and companies keep fighting these tariffs.

Trump / GOP Social Security 2025–2026 Level 4 — Public deception

“We will always protect Social Security.”

That line does not survive contact with the policy record.

direct link show facts
The claim

Protect benefits, no cuts, no danger, nothing to worry about.

What the record shows

The site already documents the opposite trend: policy choices, benefit pressure, and insolvency acceleration hitting the same program they swear they are protecting.

Why it matters

Retirees and near-retirees make real life decisions based on this. False reassurance is still deception when the underlying policy moves in the opposite direction.

This is where disinformation stops being dumb and starts being a tool for disenfranchisement, intimidation, and anti-democratic power grabs.
Trump / MAGA Voting Election lies Level 5 — Democratic danger

“Mail-in voting is full of cheating.”

The fraud narrative keeps collapsing. The policy damage remains.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

Mail ballots are inherently corrupt, insecure, and a major source of fraud.

What the record shows

Evidence for widespread mail-voting fraud does not exist at the scale claimed. The fraud story is repeatedly used to justify restrictions, suspicion, and barriers to lawful voting.

Why it matters

Election lies are not harmless spin. They are infrastructure for suppression, mistrust, and anti-democratic escalation.

Trump Georgia Election subversion Level 5 — Democratic danger

“I just want to find 11,780 votes.”

The stolen-election lie was not rhetoric. It was used to pressure officials to change the outcome.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

The Georgia result was illegitimate and merely needed correction.

What the record shows

The phone call showed direct pressure on a state official to “find” votes that did not exist. The lie was operationalized into an attempt to subvert certification.

Why it matters

This belongs in every accountability tracker because it is a bridge between falsehood and abuse of office.

economy & your wallet
They bullshit. You pay.
These entries tie claims directly to prices, healthcare, wages, debt, and household pain — because “the economy” is not a slogan when people are choosing between rent and groceries.
Trump / MAGA Congress Healthcare ACA / Medicaid Level 4 — Harmful policy lie

“We’re going to give you better, cheaper healthcare.”

The slogan sounds great. The coverage losses and premium spikes do not.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

Republicans promise cheaper care, better plans, and more access.

What the record shows

Your current page already cites the expiration of ACA support, premium spikes, and projected coverage losses. The promise and the policy do not match.

Why it matters

Healthcare lies cause delayed treatment, worse outcomes, and massive financial stress — especially when sold as reform while dismantling the protections people rely on.

Self-dealing with a press release.
Some lies do not just protect power. They protect cash flow, cronies, access, and schemes that would collapse under honest scrutiny.
Trump orbit Corruption Crypto / access Level 5 — Corruption

“Nothing to see here. Just business.”

When political influence and grift merge, the denials are part of the operation.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

That these ventures are ordinary market activity with no corruption concern.

What the record shows

When a political brand, foreign money, privileged access, and policy power start overlapping, “ordinary” stops being believable.

Why it matters

Corruption rarely arrives wearing a sign that says corruption. It arrives as a shrug, a technicality, a venture, a licensing deal, a coin, or a donor relationship that supposedly means nothing.

Trump Corruption Taxpayer cost Level 3 — Waste and grift

“It barely costs anything.”

Public money still counts when it gets routed through private properties tied to the same man making the trip.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

That the trips are routine, low-cost, or politically irrelevant.

What the record shows

Travel, security, lodging, and related expenses are real taxpayer costs. When the destination is tied to a private business empire, the ethics problem gets worse, not better.

The pattern here is always the same: invent a threat, inflate it, dehumanize the target, then use the lie to justify abuses that should be indefensible on their own.
Trump Immigration False pretext Level 5 — Democratic danger

“Venezuela is coordinating with Tren de Aragua to invade us.”

The intelligence did not back the claim. The administration used it anyway.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

A coordinated foreign threat justified extreme emergency action and aggressive deportation policy.

What the record shows

Your existing write-up notes that the intelligence assessment did not support the alleged coordination. The premise used to justify extraordinary power was itself false.

Why it matters

This is how civil liberties get torched: not by honest debate, but by manufacturing an emergency and daring everyone else to prove the panic was fake after the damage is done.

Dangerous lies do not stay theoretical.
When the subject is war, intelligence, diplomacy, or nuclear risk, a fabricated anecdote or dishonest pretext can move markets, kill people, and drag entire regions toward catastrophe.
Trump Iran Foreign policy Level 4 — Dangerous fiction

“A former president told me, ‘I wish I did what you did.’”

Nobody backed it up. Everyone asked denied it. He still said it twice.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

An unnamed former president privately congratulated him for the Iran action.

What the record shows

Aides to living former presidents denied the story. He would not name the person because the point was never proof. The point was borrowed legitimacy.

Why it matters

War lies are often social first and evidentiary never. The anecdote works because it flatters the audience and muddies scrutiny during a dangerous moment.

Trump NATO Alliances Level 4 — Strategic harm

“I’m strengthening NATO.”

Bullying allies, flattering authoritarians, and sowing doubt are not the same thing as strengthening an alliance.

direct linkshow facts
The claim

That the chaos, insults, and instability somehow made the alliance stronger.

What the record shows

The track record is better described as undermining trust, weakening cohesion, and handing propaganda victories to adversaries.
