Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: An image authentically showed a graph in an American government high school textbook that depicted U.S. President Donald Trump as being ideologically similar to Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany.
Snopes rating: True (The graph appears in a real textbook for high school students published in 2019. However, the textbook presents the graph as the results of a political ideology quiz used for a critical-thinking exercise, rather than as the authors’ opinion or irrefutable fact. A spokesperson for Macmillan Publishers also said in April 2026 that the graphic does not appear in the current version of the textbook.)
