Trump lies that inflation is down at 1.7 percent, when in fact it is at 2.4 percent.

Trump says he has lifted 2.4 million off of food stamps. In reality, Trump has introduced requirements which many do not meet, thereby denying food stamps to those in need.

Trump also claims that his tariffs are saving the US and will continue, all applause stops, and the camera cuts to Chief Justice Roberts who looks worried (picture 2).

Donald Trump talks about a child who was hit by a truck wherefore she cannot walk, and then proceeds to say, "please stand up." #sotu

Preparing for his planned midterm narrative, Trump uses the speech to claim that Democrats can only win in November by cheating.

Obviously, recents polls show, Democrats will be winning because most voters dislike Trump, which has nothing to do with cheating.

Trump claims that murders in Washington D. C. has declined close to 100 percent, meaning there are virtually no murders.

In reality, murders have declined by 32 percent as documented here:

JD Vance looks somewhat confused as Trump claims Iran has killed 32,000 protesters, and them claims the US has stopped Iran from killing many protesters.

@randahl Don't know why Vance is confused. Iran hasn't killed any American protestors yet, and I give Trump full credit for that.
