Former President Trump made false claims in a Dec. 17 speech about inflation, gas prices, and border security, which fact-checkers debunked.
On December 17, 2025, former President Donald Trump delivered a televised address making multiple claims that were widely disputed by fact-checkers, including MSNBC’s Jen Psaki.
She challenged his assertions that inflation had flatlined at 3%, gas prices dropped to $1.99 per gallon, and a $1,776 "warrior dividend" was authorized—none of which were supported by data.
Psaki and other experts refuted his claims about border security, economic performance, and job growth, noting that inflation remained elevated, food prices rose faster than inflation, and migration statistics were misrepresented.
His claim of no illegal border crossings in seven months was contradicted by available data.
The speech drew criticism for exaggeration and misinformation, with many calling it misleading and inconsistent with official records.
