Fact-Checking What Trump Said in His ‘100 Days’ Interview
From

President Donald Trump sat down with TIME for an interview just before the 100th day of his second term, where he made various statements on trade deficits, immigration, border wall construction, inflation, tariffs, and more. Trump claimed the US was losing $2 trillion annually on trade, but in reality, the trade deficit was $917.8 billion in 2024. He also mentioned criminals being released from prisons in other countries, which lacked evidence. Regarding the border wall, Trump built hundreds of miles during his first term, costing $11 billion and facing smuggling breaches. He also asserted that grocery prices had decreased, but data showed a 3% increase in food prices in March. Trump boasted about tariff revenue but exaggerated figures, as the US was earning around $500 million daily, not $2 billion. Furthermore, Trump made misleading statements about inflation, crime rates under Biden, and voter fraud in the 2020 and 2024 elections. His claims about losses with the EU and China were also inaccurate, as the trade deficits were lower than he stated. Trump referenced a $36 trillion national debt, which is the total amount borrowed by the US government over time. Overall, Trump’s statements in the interview were a mix of inaccuracies, exaggerations, and misleading claims.
