Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine before he is sworn in.Along with President Trump's rally to celebrate his first 100 days of efforts and accomplishments and projects in process, the White House has also published "100 Days of Hoaxes: Cutting Through the Fake News."
This is both instructive and entertaining and everybody is encouraged to utilize it to counter the fake news we see posted day after day here at USMB. And feel free to add to it those other hoaxes they put out there as 'news' but that have been or can be thoroughly debunked.
100 DAYS OF HOAXES: Cutting Through the Fake News
Since President Donald J. Trump took office 100 days ago, it has been a nonstop deluge of hoaxes and lies from Democrats and their allies in the Fake Newswww.whitehouse.gov
And for those who don't know how to click on a link or don't want to deal with one on their phones or whatever, this is the list so far copied verbatim from the website:
"In no particular order, here are some of the most egregious hoaxes peddled by the usual suspects so far in President Trumpâs second term:
- HOAX: Fake News CNN attempted to âfact checkâ President Trumpâs claim that the Biden Administration spent millions on âmaking mice transgender.â
- FACT: After their so-called âfact checkâ was thoroughly debunked, they were forced to update it in disgrace and admit the claim was, in fact, true.

- HOAX: Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) and Chicago Public Schools officials claimed, without bothering to verify, that ICE agents had conducted a âraidâ at an elementary school â a false claim echoed by media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune.
- FACT: It was actually the U.S. Secret Service investigating a threat unrelated to immigration.
- HOAX: Far-left influencers and other leftist hacks falsely claimed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk were out to âcut Social Security.â
- FACT: They were referencing an interview in which Musk was clearly referring to the tremendous amount of waste, fraud, and abuse within entitlement programs.
- HOAX: The media smeared DOGE as âyoung, inexperienced engineersâ engineering a âgovernment takeover.â
- FACT: In reality, DOGE is led by seasoned industry professionals, including successful CEOs who paused their lives to aid in the effort of streamlining government and holding the bureaucracy accountable.
- HOAX: NBCâs Peter Alexander peddled the lie that âconstituents in some traditionally red districtsâ were unhappy with President Trumpâs effort to cut waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
- FACT: The same âprotestsâ cited by the Fake News were funded and organized by far-left special interest groups.
- HOAX: NPR claimed NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore â who were stuck on the International Space Station for more than nine months following problems with their spacecraft â were ânot stranded.â
- FACT: NPR itself had described the astronauts as stranded in prior reporting, and only seemed to take issue with the description once President Trump and Elon Musk made it a priority to bring them home.

- HOAX: Deranged âfilmmakerâ Michael Moore questioned whether deported illegal immigrants would go on to cure cancer or stop âthat asteroid (sic) thatâs gonna hit us.â

- HOAX: The Fake News portrayed Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Hamas radical who led violent protests at Columbia, as an innocent graduate student with an absolute right to remain in the U.S.
