100 Days of Hoaxes: Exposing the Avalanche of Media Hoaxes in Trump’s Second Term

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – In true trolling fashion, the White House released “100 Days of Hoaxes,” cutting through the media’s distortions and exposing what it calls a relentless flood of misinformation, spin, and outright fabrications aimed at President Donald J. Trump during the first 100 days of his second term—driven, critics say, by a chronic case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

From the absurd to the dangerous, here are some of the most egregious falsehoods debunked in recent weeks:

CNN’s Transgender Mice “Fact Check” Backfires
CNN attempted to discredit President Trump’s claim that the Biden administration spent millions on “making mice transgender.” After being thoroughly debunked, the network quietly updated its article, admitting the spending indeed took place.

Colin Powell at Arlington: A Manufactured Outrage
Multiple media outlets falsely accused the Department of Defense of erasing Gen. Colin Powell’s name from a burial roster at Arlington. The truth? His name never left the list.

Airplane Crash Statistics Twisted for Political Gain
Rep. Eric Swalwell falsely claimed Trump oversaw a record number of aviation incidents early in his term. In fact, Trump’s numbers were significantly lower than Biden’s during the same timeframe.

ICE “Raid” That Wasn’t
Illinois officials, echoed by media outlets, claimed ICE raided a Chicago elementary school. It was actually the U.S. Secret Service investigating a threat, completely unrelated to immigration.

DOGE and Musk Smeared Over Entitlement Reform
Far-left voices falsely alleged plans to cut Social Security. In reality, Elon Musk criticized government inefficiency—not vital services—and DOGE is composed of proven industry leaders, not “young amateurs” as some claimed.

Media Hysteria Over Budget Cuts
News outlets portrayed protests against Trump’s waste-cutting efforts as organic. They were, in fact, staged by well-funded far-left groups.

NASA Astronauts “Not Stranded”?
NPR flip-flopped on terminology, calling two astronauts “not stranded” only after President Trump prioritized their rescue, despite previously describing them as exactly that.

Foreign Policy Lies Pile Up
A fake story about Trump calling European nations “parasites” was swiftly denied by both Trump and Italy’s prime minister. A similar fabrication about removing Canada from the “Five Eyes” alliance was debunked by Peter Navarro.

Immigration Smears Fall Flat
Illegal gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia was falsely portrayed as an innocent father by the media. Records show a violent criminal history and deportation supported by his own spouse’s testimony.

RFK Jr. and HHS: A Case Study in Smear Tactics
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was repeatedly misrepresented as anti-vaccine and anti-public health, despite his clarification during confirmation hearings and documented defense of major health programs.

Veterans and Safety Programs Targeted by Lies
Claims that Trump cut firefighter and veterans’ programs were flatly denied by officials and even corrected by other mainstream outlets.

Cries of Censorship and Bigotry Backfire
Whether it was claims of anti-immigrant bias from Kristi Noem or fluoride conspiracies tied to RFK Jr., each was exposed as a distortion or fabrication, often contradicted by the same sources who initially reported them.

Hoaxes Built on AI and Misquotes
AI-generated audio targeting Vice President JD Vance was quickly debunked, while the AP was forced to retract a story misquoting DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Conclusion: A Pattern of Manufactured Outrage
As President Trump continues to fulfill his campaign promises—slashing waste, strengthening borders, restoring American leadership, and returning power to the people—he remains the media’s favorite target for distortion. But the facts are catching up with the fiction.

The first 100 days of Trump’s second term have not only highlighted the administration’s aggressive push for reform but also revealed a media and political class increasingly reliant on disinformation. And for every hoax exposed, the credibility of the so-called “watchdogs” continues to erode.
