Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Donald Trump was honored for helping “inner city Black youths.”
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Posts misrepresent Trump’s 1986 Ellis Island Medal of Honor, which recognized business and philanthropic contributions, not specific work with “inner city Black youths.” There is no record of him receiving an award for that purpose.
