Claimant: President Donald Trump (R)
Claim: “Just over one year ago, we were a ‘DEAD’ country. Now, we are the ‘HOTTEST’ country anywhere in the world!”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: The U.S. economy grew 2.8% in 2024 and had already been expanding steadily from 2021 through 2023. While GDP dipped early in 2025 before rebounding later that year, the claim exaggerates the contrast. The U.S. stock market rose 17% in 2025 but still underperformed several international markets.
