A look at false and misleading claims Trump made at inaugural events

In his first address after being sworn in on Monday, President Donald Trump repeated several false and misleading statements that he made during his campaign. Trump resurfaces false claim about the 2020 election Claim: “2020, by the way, that election was totally rigged.” — remarks at Emancipation Hall. Nancy Pelosi did not reject National Guard troops on Jan. 6 Claim: Calling the Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6th Attack on the United States Capitol the “Unselect Committee of political thugs,” Trump alleged that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “turned down the offer of 10,000 soldiers” on Jan. 6, 2021, and that she was “in charge of security at the Capitol.” — remarks at Emancipation Hall. Trump repeats unfounded claim about immigrants Claim: Trump, a Republican, said in his inaugural address that the U.S. government "fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding American citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world.” Facts: There is no evidence other countries are sending their criminals or the mentally ill across the border. Promise of an External Revenue Service to collect tariffs Claim: Promising to establish an External Revenue Service to collect “all tariffs, duties, and revenues,” Trump said in his inaugural address, “It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury, coming from foreign sources.” Facts: Nearly all economists point out that American consumers will pay at least part, if not most, of the cost of the tariffs.
