100 PolitiFact fact-checks from President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office

The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term have been busy. PolitiFact has been busy, too.

Since Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, our reporters have been fact-checking statements from the president and leaders in his administration, prominent Democrats and viral social media posts about notable moments. We’ve listened to hours of interviews and speeches and pored over scores of  executive orders. 

Here is a record of 100 fact-checks PolitiFact reporters have written in the Trump administration’s first 100 days. 

Some of these fact-checks have a Truth-O-Meter rating, which means a group of editors reviewed the fact-check and voted on a final rating. 

Other fact-checks and explanatory articles are unrated, which means they did not undergo a voting process but were still rigorously reported and edited before publication. 

We’ve distinguished unrated fact-checks into two categories: “Unrated – Accurate,” which means the statement is basically accurate but was not rated on our Truth-O-Meter, and “Unrated – Misleading/Needs Context,” which means the statement is inaccurate or lacks important information that could lead to a different impression.

We are tracking the development of Trump’s second-term campaign promises on the MAGA-Meter.
