Methodology
This section uses the same standard as the rest of the site: every claim is sourced to a nonpartisan fact-checker, government dataset, or journalism of record. We include the original quote, the date, the documented truth, and the source link. We distinguish between false claims, misleading claims, and broken promises. We include promises kept where applicable — credibility requires acknowledging what was delivered, not just what wasn’t.
“Don’t take our word for it. Read the sources yourself.”
