During his address to Congress on Tuesday night, Trump boasted about what he described as a major win for the U.S. auto industry, claiming Honda had announced plans to build a massive new plant in Indiana. "In fact, already, numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana, one of the largest anywhere in the world," Trump declared, crediting his administration’s tariffs and policies for the supposed expansion.

However, Honda quickly fact-checked the president’s claim, making it clear that no such announcement had been made. In a statement to WRTV, Honda firmly denied Trump’s assertion, emphasizing that its existing Indiana facility has been operational since 2008.

DOGE took credit for ending contracts that ended under Biden, and as far back as Shrub’s administration.

I’m sensing a pattern here.
