Multiple news outlets have reported that video, satellite images and expert analysis indicate that the United States was likely responsible for the Feb. 28 bombing of an Iranian school for young girls, contradicting President Trump’s unsupported claim that the deadly strike “was done by Iran.”

FactChecking Trump’s State of the Union Address www.factcheck.org/2026/02/fact...

In the first State of the Union Address of his second term, Trump proclaimed that “our nation is back, bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before.” But our review of his speech found that he distorted a number of facts about the state of the economy, health care, immigration and more.

In discussing the $1,776 ‘Warrior Dividends’, Trump claimed “we got the money from tariffs and other things.” They were actually entirely funded by a $2.9 billion appropriation in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – a reallocation of funds earmarked for an increased housing allowance. #SOTU2026

Trump claimed the U.S. was “paying almost all of NATO.” This is false. In terms of direct costs, the U.S., since January, pays about 15% of NATO’s “common-funded budgets.” #SOTU2026 We wrote about this topic here: www.factcheck.org/2026/01/trum...

The bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21, 2025, by American B-2 aircraft damaged the sites and set back Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, but didn’t “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear capabilities, according to experts we spoke with and a classified U.S. intelligence report. #SOTU2026

Trump claimed that he “ended eight wars.” Experts said the president has had a significant role in ending fighting in four conflicts. Some of the international disagreements Trump cites have not been wars, and some clashes have not ended. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2025/11/fact...

Trump said that Americans are now paying the "lowest price" for drugs. TrumpRx offers discounted cash prices for a small number of brand-name drugs. But there isn’t evidence Trump’s deals have led to broad decreases in prices or will in the future. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2026/02/trum...

Despite Trump's claim, energy prices are not all going down. Per BLS data, the CPI for energy overall was down 0.3% for the 12 months ending in Jan., while household energy specifically rose 6.6%. The average price of electricity per kWh has risen ~7.3%. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2026/02/a-pr...

Trump repeated — as he does in virtually every speech — his unsupported claim that many of the immigrants who came to the U.S. under Biden were from “prisons and mental institutions.” Trump has never provided any credible evidence of that. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2024/09/trum...

Trump has repeatedly boasted that the stock market has outperformed expectations. Since Trump took office, the S&P 500 has risen 14.5%, as of the close of the market on Feb. 18. That’s only a little better than many financial analysts forecast for 2025. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2026/02/a-pr...

Trump said we have more people working today than at any point in U.S. history. While accurate, the U.S. has steady population growth. In fact, job growth slowed and the employment-to-population ratio declined a bit in Trump’s second term. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2026/02/a-pr...

As we’ve written, Trump’s claim that he has brought in about $18 trillion in investments to the U.S. is exaggerated, according to experts and a White House webpage. #SOTU2026 www.factcheck.org/2026/02/trum...

Trump falsely claimed that inflation was at "record levels" when he took office. The annual inflation rate was 3% when Trump took office. As of January, the annual inflation rate was down to 2.4% under Trump. www.factcheck.org/2026/02/a-pr... #SOTU

Follow along tonight (Feb. 24) as we help provide context to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has made a series of claims about the economy, a topic that should feature prominently in his State of the Union address to Congress on Feb. 24. www.factcheck.org/2026/02/a-pr...
