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)

| FALSE | Claim by Donald Trump (R): Democrats have “a restriction that if you get caught fixing your tractor, they bring you to jail.”

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: U.S. President Donald Trump promised during his 2024 presidential campaign that the United States would be involved in “no new wars” if voters elected him to a second term.
Snopes rating: True (Correct Attribution) Did Trump promise ‘no new wars’? How his NBC interview contradicts campaign pledges |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): “No Republican wins in Nassau County.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (Nassau County voted Democratic in presidential elections from 1992 to 2020, but Republicans have often won downballot races there, including seven of the county’s 10 county executive offices.) Donald Trump wrong about rarity of Republicans winning in Nassau County, NY |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): The government is introducing a death tax that will take 30 percent of inherited assets.
AAP rating: False (The changes only affect future asset income and won’t tax the total value of inherited assets upon death.) |
