Checking Facts 100 Days of Trump’s Speech

According to many, many people, President Trump used the action in Michigan to point out that, in his opinion, was “the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country.”

He emphasized his efforts to combat illegal immigration, return work to the US and stop what he called “nightmare of inflation.”

BBC Verify considered some major claims to his speech.

Trump said “gasoline prices are significantly reduced” since he has taken office.

On April 29, the average price per gallon of “ordinary” gas – either gasoline – amounted to 3.16 dollars (2.36 pounds), reports Data from the American Automobile Association (AAA).

This is a bit compared to $ 3.125 (2.33 pounds) recorded by AAA A day when Trump entered the White House.

In his speech, he added that gas prices “just reached $ 1.98 in many states.”

This is the statement that he has done several times but we cannot find evidence of prices.

As of April 29, there was no average gas price below $ 2.67 (1.99 pounds), AAA reports.

The US president also spoke about the cost of eggs – the concern of many US consumers with the permanent bird flu outbreak – and said: “As I took office, the cost of eggs decreased by 87%.”

This statement is false.

The average national price for consumers of ten large classes and eggs when Trump entered the office in January, amounted to about 4.95 dollars (3.70 pounds).

This rose to a record high $ 6.23 (£ 4.65) for a dozen in March – According to the latest figures available.

The White House pointed to the wholesale prices for eggs as evidence of improvement.

Wholesale prices declined since Trump took office – but approximately 52% – from $ 6.55 (£ 4.89) per ten large white eggs in January to $ 3.15 (2.34 pounds) According to the US Department of Agriculture.

Trump has long talked about his efforts to combat illegal immigration – the key issue of the campaign last year.

He said: “For two months in a row, we have set the records of the smallest number of illegal border crossings all the time.”

This claim is backed up by the latest monthly figures at the “meeting” of illegal migrants recorded by officials at the US and Mexico.

In March were 7 181 meet migrants There were 8 346 in February.

These are the lowest figures, starting with these monthly records in 2000.

For comparison, there were about 140,000 meetings on this border in each of these months last year under President Biden.

During his term he saw the records of border crossings, which then fell to the end of his president.

A separate tank of the Institute of Migration studied monthly average indicators of the annual figures available before 2000, and says that this year the illegal border crossings are the lowest since the end of the 1960s, not the lowest for “all the time”.

President Trump praised Elon Musk’s work in the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), saying: “They have saved more than $ 150 billion on waste, fraud and abuse.”

The dog, the advisory body, publishes the total number of its estimated savings on its site – the last time the site was updated on April 20.

However, less than 40% of this figure is divided into individual savings – including the abolition of government contracts, grants and rentals.

BBC Analysis Check Only about half of these detailed savings were found to be a link to a document or other form of evidence.

Dodge says he is working on downloading all receipts “digestible and transparent”.

Federal contract experts we talked to also raised questions about the largest stated savings of Dogel and said that some were overstated.

Trump said: “In three months we have created 350,000 jobs.”

This statement is backed up by official data.

During the first two full months of Trump before March (the last available data) 345,000 jobs were added, According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

However, during the same period last year, 468,000 jobs were added under President Biden.

Trump also said: “For the first time in a recent memory, the profit for Americans who have been born is now exceeding the profit from foreign workers.”

It also happened in February and April last year under President Biden.
