In his address to Congress, Trump made numerous misleading claims, including exaggerating his popular vote win and falsely asserting an economic crisis inherited from Biden. His rhetoric included strong anti-immigrant sentiments and critiques of gender diversity, especially regarding transgender rights. He called for legislation against gender-affirming care for minors and promoted an order that limits recognition of transgender identities. Additionally, he framed his policies as pro-free speech, while advocating for punitive measures against students protesting these views.
He boasted about winning the popular vote 'by big numbers,' which he didn't; exaggerated the amount of fraud uncovered and savings generated by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
He called on Congress to pass a law criminalizing parents who allow their children to undergo gender-affirming care, but that's unlikely to happen.
