Many claims were debunked long ago; highlighting a pattern of repeating falsehoods without apparent concerns of public knowledge about actual reality. And this interview comes just before that very important election Day – making these topics intensely relevant, raising immediate concerns among voters themselves! Let's unpack some of these false narratives and those underlying facts – to present a fact-checked overview, presenting a comparison from those claims that Trump made himself compared to readily available official data which strongly show otherwise!

Trump's Falsehoods: A Breakdown by Category

FACT FOCUS: Trump repeated election lies in his interview with Joe Rogan. Here are the facts Image

Immigration: Misrepresenting Numbers and Facts

Claim: 13,099 murderers entered the US in three years. Reality: That number represents immigrants with homicide convictions over DECADES. The official figures are entirely far lower.
Claim: He built 570 miles of border wall. Reality: Official data shows around 458 miles built under his presidency; and not necessarily creating any completely new infrastructure.
Claim: Kamala Harris was in charge of the border. Reality: She wasn’t and isn’t; that's Alejandro Mayorkas (Secretary of Homeland Security).
Claim: Over 21 million illegal border crossings under Biden. Reality: This greatly exceeds the reported "encounters" (including expulsions and "gotaways") far less. The total is way less.

Elections and Crowds: Exaggerations and Outright Lies

Fact check: 32 false claims Trump made to Joe Rogan Image

Claim: He won the 2020 election "easily". Reality: Biden won decisively: the Electoral College count shows 306-232, Biden's vote count surpasses Trump's total by 7 million plus votes!
Claim: The 2020 election was "crooked" and that opponents cheated. Reality: Numerous investigations found no evidence of widespread fraud which strongly contradict Trump’s own assertions.
Claim: A Wisconsin poll showed him down by 17 points before winning. Reality: That poll was from the 2020 election, he lost Wisconsin!
Claim: Wisconsin officials admitted to election rigging. Reality: That never happened.
Claim: A Virginia case involved thousands of "illegal ballots". Reality: It involved voter registration issues; it didn't contain “illegal ballots.”
Claim: You need ID to buy groceries. Reality: False! Mostly.
Claim: A Carter commission concluded mail-in voting should be completely removed. Reality: It merely expressed skepticism and recommended security improvements for mail-in ballots; and actually found several good models existing already. False claim, totally false.
Claim: 29,000 people were at a recent rally. Reality: The venue’s capacity is less than 19,000; that venue’s size cannot contain so many people. It's quite impossible to cram this amount into a smaller space.
Claim: 28,000 people were at a McDonald's event. Reality: A wildly inflated exaggeration of actual reported crowd size.
Claim: Kamala Harris “took off” from campaigning various days. Reality: She held rallies and other campaign appearances daily during the referenced time frames.

Foreign Policy and Trade: Distorting Facts to Support Narratives

Claim: He defeated ISIS "in weeks". Reality: It took considerably longer, and the Caliphate’s fall came two years after he took office; meaning those statements have very poor historical backing.
Claim: Kim Jong Un refused to meet with Obama. Reality: There is no evidence of such requests from Obama or refusals from Kim which directly challenges Trump’s own narrative.
Claim: He received “hundreds of billions” from China via tariffs. Reality: US importers paid these tariffs, not China and those resulting figures are completely different and contradict Trump’s claims; strongly supporting claims about his actual inaccuracy regarding his views here.
Claim: No previous president imposed tariffs on China. Reality: Tariffs existed for a far longer timeframe and it was increased by multiple other presidents, this again emphasizes the factual inaccuracy which completely undermines this specific assertion of his.
Claim: China sent 28 bombers over Taiwan on his last day in office. Reality: That happened on Biden’s third/fourth day and mostly involved fighters, not bombers; emphasizing this event's total falsehood from what Trump himself said.

Environment and Energy: Minimizing Climate Change Threats and False Claims on Infrastructure Spending

Claim: Sea levels will rise only one-eighth of an inch in 500 years. Reality: The rate of sea level increase is currently significantly higher.
Claim: Biden spent $9 billion on eight charging stations. Reality: That’s grossly inflated – distorting reported spending rates for EV infrastructure.
Claim: California experiences brownouts every weekend. Reality: This is totally false; there haven’t been energy blackouts due to electricity demands there since 2020; this claim doesn’t correspond with readily available evidence that could be sourced from several locations.
Claim: He instantly approved a Louisiana LNG plant permit stuck for fourteen years. Reality: The permits were granted during the Obama administration.
Claim: Arctic drilling was "all set to go" before Biden. Reality: That is totally false – There is zero drilling infrastructure present in that location; and oil companies hadn't really displayed serious interest at any point.

Trump's Record and Statements: More Fabrications and Falsehoods

Claim: He “never” said “lock her up” (referring to Hillary Clinton). Reality: He repeatedly did so, in both campaigns; creating very profound problems during those times.
Claim: He appeared on Oprah during the show’s final week. Reality: It happened several months prior. This error emphasizes the importance for verifying sources and their authenticity.
Claim: He signed the "biggest tax cuts in history”. Reality: That isn't the case. It did not qualify using many independent metrics and those standards generally employed.
Claim: Most presidents appoint no Supreme Court justices. Reality: That's totally wrong!
Claim: His uncle was MIT's longest-serving professor. Reality: He wasn't.
Claim: Schools send children for gender-affirming surgery without parental consent. Reality: Completely false; such operations are illegal in those specific locations without informed consent!
Claim: Alyssa Farah Griffin wrote him a “gorgeous” letter praising him. Reality: This completely false. There is no evidence at all.
Claim: Abraham Lincoln's son "Tad" died while he was president. Reality: Tad lived six years AFTER Lincoln's death.

Trump’s Rogan interview spread plenty of misinformation. These false statements highlight the critical need for carefully vetting sources and carefully verifying those crucial facts before believing claims, regardless of its source’s fame or background or public visibility; particularly concerning politically-driven claims. It is a perfect example which displays what people absolutely must watch out for during periods surrounding important Elections or other very relevant societal issues! Those who wish to create informed decisions for themselves require fact verification through multiple verifiable, readily accessible official sources; demonstrating the critical necessity for continued engagement by every person, to understand the claims they hear themselves.

This is why we emphasize carefully analyzing information: The potential impacts of readily believing assertions from unreliable sources creates significant challenges especially before those very significant and high-stakes electoral decision periods; emphasizing just why this kind of fact-checking remains necessary and critically valuable.
