During the presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump was frequently the subject of various false claims, many of which he also propagated.

As the campaign concluded, social media was rife with misinformation regarding Trump, including misleading images, fake quotes, and inaccurate assertions related to campaign materials and legal issues.

Trump himself made numerous unfounded claims, such as his repeated allegation that he lost to Joe Biden in 2020 due to election fraud. He also incorrectly asserted that millions of non-citizens vote in U.S. elections, claimed that Haitian migrants in Ohio were eating pets, and stated that hurricane relief funds were misallocated to help illegal migrants.

Trump secured victory over Vice President Kamala Harris by winning several key states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to claim the presidency.

Here’s a compilation of fact checks regarding Trump from the YSL News Fact Check Team:

Claim: An image shows Trump making a statement comparing the government’s actions over a ‘killed’ squirrel to its response to illegal immigration

Our rating: Altered

This image is a fabrication. A spokesperson for Trump’s campaign confirmed that the statement is fake, and there’s no record of it on the official campaign website.

Full fact check: Trump compared to Peanut the Squirrel and immigration is fabricated

Claim: Trump funded a campaign sign that included a swastika

Our rating: False

There is no proof that the swastika sign was linked to Trump’s campaign. A Barnwell County official indicated to PolitiFact that the sign was altered, and a Trump spokesperson labeled it as “fake.” Local GOP officials remarked that up-close images suggest the logo was a sticker added to a legitimate campaign sign.

Full fact check: Sign with swastika ‘definitely not’ from Trump’s campaign, says GOP official

Claim: Joe Rogan stated he wouldn’t vote for Trump as of Oct. 29 after hosting him on his podcast

Our rating: False

There is no evidence that Rogan made such a comment against Trump. This was further clarified on Nov. 4, when Rogan endorsed Trump.

Full fact check: Joe Rogan never claimed he won’t vote for Donald Trump

Claim: A post suggests that an image shows Trump voting in the 2024 presidential election

Our rating: Missing context

The implication is incorrect. The image actually shows Trump casting his vote in New York during the 2016 presidential election. Trump currently resides in Florida and votes there.

Full fact check: Image depicting Trump looking at wife’s ballot is from 2016

Claim: Trump’s name being misspelled on a Virginia ballot is evidence of election fraud

Our rating: False

A Virginia election official clarified that the typo occurs on a rarely seen ballot review screen, not on actual ballots. It does not influence the voting process since it’s visible only after voters have made their choice on a paper ballot.

Full fact check: Misspelled name on the voting machine review screen does not indicate ‘election fraud’

Claim: The Constitution ‘clearly states a felon cannot hold elective office’

Our rating: False

Both the 14th Amendment and other parts of the Constitution do not prohibit felons from holding office, according to an expert cited by YSL News. The referenced section bars anyone who has taken an oath to defend the Constitution and “engaged in insurrection” from taking office, but a Supreme Court ruling in March requires action from Congress for this to be enforced.

Full fact check: The 14th Amendment does not stop felons from assuming office

Claim: Trump had convictions ‘overturned’ as of Oct. 10 and was awarded a $500 million refund

Our rating: False

As of Oct. 10, Trump’s conviction in the hush money case had not been “overturned.” He faces a separate civil fraud ruling of almost $500 million and has posted a $175 million bond, but he has not received any of that money back. Although judges heard arguments about his appeal regarding the judgment in September, they did not issue a decision before the post was shared.

Full fact check: The claim that Trump’s conviction was ‘overturned’ in October is incorrect

Claim: An image shows Trump posting “I hate Adolf Hitler”

Our rating: Altered

The image is not real. Its details match those generated by an online meme creator, and there is no record of such a post on Trump’s Truth Social profile or credible news sources.

Full fact check: The image of Trump relating ‘hate’ for Hitler is fabricated

Claim: Trump’s exclusion from the Oregon voters’ pamphlet is evidence of election interference

Our rating: False

Officials from Oregon’s GOP and Secretary of State stated that Trump’s statement was not included because he opted not to submit one. His name appears in the pamphlet with a note explaining this, and he remains on the state’s ballots.

Full fact check: The absence of Trump’s statement in the Oregon pamphlet does not signify interference

Claim: Trump canceled his participation in the second debate, as well as appearances on CNN, ’60 Minutes,’ and other outlets

Our rating: Partly false

While Trump did cancel certain events referenced in the post, he never agreed to participate in the others.

Full fact check: The assertion that Trump canceled his CNN town hall, NRA rally, and additional events is partly false

Claim: Video allegedly displays Trump’s college report card

Our rating: Altered

The report card image is fake. Fordham University has labeled it as inauthentic in a post on social media.

Full fact check: Those grades don’t belong to Trump. The image in the video is a ‘forgery.’

Claim: Image depicts Trump discussing a supposed second assassination attempt

Our rating: Altered

This image is fabricated. There is no evidence of such a post on Trump’s Truth Social account.

Full fact check: The alleged Trump post about his would-be killers being ‘0-2’ is a fabrication.

Claim: Image presents a headline from The Atlantic stating ‘Trump is literally Hitler’

Our rating: Altered

This image is false. The Atlantic confirmed that the headline is a manipulated version of an article from Oct. 22 titled “Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had.’” The summary has also been altered.

Full fact check: No, The Atlantic did not publish a story with a headline claiming Trump is Hitler.

Claim: Image shows Trump in flood waters after Hurricane Helene

Our rating: Altered

Experts and an AI detection tool have verified that the image is AI-generated. There is no proof that Trump was in flood waters after Hurricane Helene.

Full fact check: The image of Donald Trump in flood waters is AI-generated.

Claim: Melania Trump stated she desires a divorce

Our rating: False

Melania Trump has not publicly indicated anything to support this assertion, and a spokesperson for Donald Trump has asserted that the claim is untrue. The former first lady has consistently voiced her support for her husband in various interviews leading up to the 2024 campaign.

Full fact check: Melania Trump has publicly backed her husband and has not asked for a divorce.
