It correctly notes that U.S.-Canada trade is large and integrated, but it overstates how much the U.S. buys as raw materials, how much profit the U.S. makes, and the trade-deficit figure Trump cited.
Claim-by-claim breakdown
- Misleading (88% confidence): Trump said the United States lost, on average, $60 billion a year with Canada over the last 10 years. U.S. Census data show a 2023 goods deficit with Canada of $63.6 billion, while USTR reports a 2025 goods deficit of $48.3 billion. That makes '$60 billion a year on average' plausible only depending on the years used, but not a cleanly…
- Accurate (76% confidence): Most U.S. imports from Canada are raw and industrial goods used for manufacturing. USTR says leading U.S. goods imports from Canada include vehicles, machinery, and energy products. Canada is also a major source of crude oil and other industrial inputs, so the overall idea is broadly right, but not limited to raw…
- False (84% confidence): The United States makes hundreds of billions of dollars in profit off the things it buys from Canada. No official trade source reports that the U.S. makes hundreds of billions in profit from Canadian imports. The U.S. does export a large amount back to Canada, but that does not prove a net 'profit' of hundreds of billions from purchases…
- Unsupported (58% confidence): About 20% of the finished products made from Canadian raw materials are sold back to Canada. Official trade data show very large U.S. exports to Canada, but they do not support the exact claim that 20% of finished products created from Canadian inputs are sold back to Canada.
- Accurate (71% confidence): Tariffs on Canada are effectively taxes on the U.S. supply chain. Official energy and trade data show the U.S. relies heavily on Canadian inputs such as crude oil and other industrial goods, so tariffs can disrupt integrated supply chains and raise costs. But the tax is legally on imports, not literally…

- The Capitol Gridlock on Instagram: "In New York City, United States, Newsmax host Rob Finnerty presents detailed economic graphs on national television to analyze cumulative inflation trends between political administrations. He demonstrates how inflation rates rose sharply during Joe Biden's term compared to Donald Trump's presidential tenure. This segment directly engages with core Republican political messaging regarding fiscal responsibility, energy policy, and national economic health. The presenter further highlights specific price reductions in consumer goods like eggs, used cars, and airfare under conservative economic proposals. He argues that Biden's administration temporarily lowered gas prices by tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for political momentum prior to the midterms. These data points serve as key talking points within US conservative politics to advocate for free-market solutions and deregulation. Finally, the broadcast refutes mainstream media claims surrounding the economic impact of tariffs proposed by Donald Trump. By highlighting deflationary trends in multiple key consumer sectors, the host defends conservative policy solutions as effective tools for long-term price stability. This detailed breakdown reinforces Republican perspectives on governance, economic policy, and federal spending controls across the country. #TrumpEconomy #BidenInflation #NewsMax #ConservativeNews #USPolitics" — Score 66/100

- Der feine Unterschied 🦊 on Instagram: "Folgt @fuchs.erklaert für mehr 🦊 Was ist der Unterschied zwischen 30 Grad und 60 Grad? Herr Fuchs erklärt es dir. Schlau wie ein Fuchs. Welchen Unterschied sollen wir als Nächstes erklären? Für normal verschmutzte Wäsche reicht laut Umweltbundesamt eine Wäsche bei 30 Grad. Was Pilze und Bakterien wirklich abtötet, ist nicht die Temperatur, sondern das Bleichmittel, und das steckt nur im Vollwaschmittel, am besten als Pulver. Colorwaschmittel und flüssige Waschmittel enthalten meist keines. Ein Waschgang bei 60 Grad zieht rund dreimal so viel Strom wie einer bei 30. Einmal im Monat lohnt er sich trotzdem, damit sich in Trommel und Dichtungen kein Biofilm bildet und die Maschine nicht anfängt zu riechen. #wissen #unterschied #gutzuwissen #waschen #haushaltstipps" — Score 78/100
