AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Donald Trump made several false and misleading claims in his first address after being sworn in for a second term as president, some of which go as far back as his first time in office.
They included claims about immigration, the economy, electric vehicles and the Panama Canal, and were followed by yet more dubious statements as he delivered remarks at the US Capitol's Emancipation Hall, such as misleading allegations about the pardons made by President Joe Biden as he left office.
Here's a summary of some of the most egregious claims.
