The 5 Most Unhinged Claims From Trump’s January 6 Website

President Trump’s White House launched a website on January 6, 2026, reframing the Capitol riot five years after the attack. The site advances false narratives about the January 6 insurrection, contradicting documented evidence and official investigations.

The website claims Democrats staged a “real insurrection” by certifying the 2020 election and “weaponizing federal agencies” against dissenters, despite no evidence supporting Trump’s assertion that the election was stolen. It attributes the Capitol breach to Capitol Police escalation rather than rioters’ actions, alleging officers “aggressively” deployed tear gas and “inexplicably” removed barricades while simultaneously firing on crowds. These claims contradict the documented timeline of events and sworn testimony from law enforcement present that day.

The site characterizes the fatal shooting of rioter Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd as murder “in cold blood,” omitting that the Department of Justice determined in April 2021 that Byrd acted in self-defense and defense of Members of Congress evacuating the House Chamber as rioters broke through glass doors. The website also falsely attributes deaths solely to non-law-enforcement individuals, though four Capitol Police officers who responded to the riot died by suicide in subsequent months.

Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence is branded a “coward” for declining to reject electoral votes, a power he did not constitutionally possess. The site misrepresents Pence’s role; his stated duty was to “count the votes of the Electoral College for President and Vice President in a manner consistent with our Constitution, laws, and history,” which he executed on January 6.

The website concludes by labeling January 6 defendants political prisoners held in “harsh conditions” and celebrates Trump’s 2024 election as a triumph over “relentless Deep State efforts to imprison, bankrupt, and assassinate him” through “fabricated indictments” and “rigged show trials.” This narrative contradicts Trump’s criminal convictions and documented legal proceedings.

Trump claims he predicted 9/11 but says no one listened to him

Donald Trump claimed on Air Force One that he predicted the September 11 attacks in his 2000 book “The America We Deserve” and warned about Osama Bin Laden, asserting the attacks could have been prevented if U.S. officials had acted on his warning. Trump’s assertion contradicts fact-check findings showing his book contained only a brief, vague reference to Bin Laden as a “shadowy figure” among general security threats, not a specific warning about him or al-Qaeda.

While Trump’s book did reference the possibility of a major terror attack, it neither identified Bin Laden nor al-Qaeda as potential perpetrators. By 2000, concerns about Bin Laden and al-Qaeda were already public knowledge, and U.S. intelligence agencies were actively monitoring both the organization and its leader, meaning Trump’s observations reflected widely available information rather than unique foresight.

Trump’s post-9/11 claim mirrors his pattern of associating himself with 9/11 commemoration events while promoting narratives disconnected from documented fact. His invocation of his own predictive ability, unsupported by the actual text of his book, demonstrates his use of false historical revisionism to construct an image of prescience and leadership.

U.S. changes childhood vaccine schedule to require fewer immunizations – Los Angeles Times

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced on January 5, 2026, that it is eliminating routine childhood vaccinations for numerous diseases previously covered under federal recommendations. Children will still receive vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria, Hib, pneumococcal disease, HPV, and chickenpox, but vaccinations for hepatitis A and B, rotavirus, RSV, bacterial meningitis, influenza, and COVID-19 are now classified as optional through “shared clinical decision-making.” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine opponent, stated the changes “protect children, respect families, and rebuild trust in public health.”

The policy reversal stems from a December 2025 presidential memorandum signed by President Trump directing the health department to align the pediatric vaccine schedule with practices from peer-developed countries, specifically citing Denmark’s more limited schedule of 10 diseases. However, public health experts including Dr. Kelly Gebo of George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health note that Denmark’s approach reflects its disease prevalence, universal healthcare system, and higher screening rates for conditions like hepatitis B—factors absent in the United States, where less than 85% of pregnant women receive hepatitis B screening.

Pediatricians and public health officials rejected the changes as dangerous and unnecessary. Dr. René Bravo, president of the California Medical Association, stated the decision “undermines decades of evidence-based public health policy and sends a deeply confusing message to families at a time when vaccine confidence is already under strain.” The American Academy of Pediatrics condemned the schedule as “dangerous and unnecessary” and announced it will continue publishing its own independent immunization recommendations.

The federal changes follow a pattern of health authority reversals under Trump appointees. A Kennedy-led CDC panel previously voted to drop the routine newborn hepatitis B vaccination, a decision that contradicts 35 years of disease elimination since the vaccine’s 1991 introduction. Dr. James Alwine, a virologist with Defend Public Health, characterized the rollback as releasing “viruses and bacteria that were under control” onto vulnerable populations, describing the policy as fundamentally incompatible with disease prevention efforts in the United States.

Insurance companies remain required to fully cover all vaccines on the revised schedule, including those now designated optional. Four states—California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii—announced in September they would adopt independent immunization schedules based on American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical group recommendations, effectively rejecting the federal revision.

Donald Trump Slams Exercise as ‘Boring’ in Health Interview

During a Wall Street Journal interview on New Year’s Day 2026, President Donald Trump, aged 79, dismissed exercise as “boring” while responding to mounting public concern about his health and stamina. Trump denied experiencing any health decline, attributing his ability to function on minimal sleep and work extended hours—reportedly from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.—to “good genetics,” despite the Journal’s reporting that he displays “signs of aging in public and private.”

Trump rejected the premise of health inquiries, stating “My health is perfect” while revealing he takes 325 milligrams of daily aspirin on his doctors’ recommendation, a dose he acknowledged they have advised him to reduce. When asked about exercise, Trump stated he refuses to use a treadmill or engage in sustained physical activity, saying “I just don’t like it. It’s boring.” His reported habits include regular fast food consumption and golf as his primary physical activity.

The president addressed specific incidents that triggered health concerns, including appearing to doze off during Cabinet meetings, which he attributed to being photographed while “blinking.” Trump also explained visible bruising on his hands as a side effect of aspirin use rather than a sign of underlying medical issues, and downplayed hearing difficulties he experienced during a September event when his wife had to repeat a question he could not hear.

Trump’s resistance to basic health practices contradicts medical evidence supporting regular exercise and cardiovascular health maintenance. His dismissal of exercise as “boring” and reliance on genetics to excuse minimal physical activity, combined with his reported diet heavy in processed foods, diverges sharply from standard clinical recommendations for individuals in his age group managing cardiovascular risk factors.

Trump Tells Jared Polis and Colorado ‘RINO’ to ‘Rot in Hell’

President Trump attacked Colorado Governor Jared Polis and a Republican district attorney in a December 31st Truth Social post, calling Polis a “scumbag” and the DA “disgusting” while telling both to “rot in Hell.” Trump’s outburst targeted officials responsible for prosecuting former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who is serving nine years in prison for seven state-level charges related to 2020 election interference, including providing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s associate unauthorized access to county election software.

Trump falsely claimed earlier in December that he had pardoned Peters, stating she was being “relentlessly” targeted for “demanding honest elections.” However, Trump lacks authority to pardon individuals convicted of state-level crimes; Peters’ conviction and imprisonment remain valid regardless of any presidential pardon claim. Trump characterized her prosecution as evidence that Democrats prosecute election-security advocates while ignoring their own alleged mail-in ballot fraud, assertions contradicted by documented fact patterns showing no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Colorado or nationally.

Trump previously weaponized disaster aid to Colorado, denying federal assistance following wildfires and flooding while Governor Polis governed the state. This pattern of targeting Colorado’s Democratic leadership demonstrates Trump’s use of presidential authority to punish political opponents, further illustrating the authoritarian consolidation of power through weaponized governance.

Trump’s attack on a fellow Republican official as a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) reflects his ongoing purge of party members who do not demonstrate absolute loyalty to him personally. His refusal to accept Peters’ lawful conviction—despite her documented actions undermining election integrity through unauthorized system access—prioritizes Trump’s electoral narrative over institutional accountability and rule of law.

The Truth Social post exemplifies Trump’s pattern of attacking state officials and judicial processes when outcomes conflict with his interests, framing legitimate prosecutions as political persecution while simultaneously attempting to overturn state convictions through false pardon claims that carry no legal weight.

Trump Posts Photo of Dead Falcon in Israel and Says, ‘Windmills Are Killing All of Our Beautiful Bald Eagles!’

President Donald Trump posted a photograph on Tuesday claiming windmills kill bald eagles, but the image actually depicts a falcon from Israel, not an American bald eagle. Google Lens traced the dead bird photo to Israeli news sources Haaretz (2017) and The Times of Israel (2019), both crediting the Israel Nature and Parks Authority; Haaretz identified it as a falcon, while The Times of Israel specified a kestrel.

Trump’s opposition to wind turbines dates to at least 2012, when he testified against their installation near his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. After 11 turbines were eventually built, Trump denounced them as “some of the ugliest you’ve ever seen.” He has made baseless claims that windmills cause cancer, stating in 2019 that “the noise causes cancer,” and in July called them “a disgrace,” claiming they are inefficient and the most expensive energy source.

Trump’s assertion that windmills kill bald eagles contradicts factual record and mirrors his broader pattern of making demonstrably false claims about wind power, including allegations they damage the ozone layer. His long-standing vendetta against wind energy appears rooted in personal business interests rather than environmental or wildlife conservation concerns.

Trump threatens lawsuit against Fed Chair Jerome Powell

President Trump announced he is considering filing a lawsuit against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, citing “gross incompetence” over renovations to Federal Reserve buildings. During a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump claimed the construction project was poorly managed and that the costs ballooned unnecessarily, calling Powell’s oversight of the work his “baby” and describing the outcome as incompetent.

Powell has disputed Trump’s characterization of the renovation expenses. The Federal Reserve published a FAQ addressing the claims, clarifying that the project was first approved in 2017 and has undergone annual budget review by the Fed’s board of governors since its inception, contradicting Trump’s narrative of unchecked spending under Powell’s watch.

Trump has previously threatened legal action against Powell and has repeatedly demanded his resignation, stating “He should resign. It would be a favor to the nation.” However, Trump indicated he would allow Powell to complete his term, which ends in May, noting he was “so close” to the term’s conclusion and acknowledged Powell’s impending departure even as he suggested he might still remove him.

Trump originally nominated Powell to lead the Federal Reserve during his first presidency, and President Biden subsequently renominated Powell for a second four-year term. Trump’s ongoing fixation on the Federal Reserve leadership and his repeated attacks on Powell reflect his broader pattern of targeting the institution when monetary policy decisions conflict with his economic demands.

This lawsuit threat represents another instance of Trump weaponizing the legal system against federal officials who do not comply with his directives. The Federal Reserve’s independence from presidential control is foundational to U.S. economic stability; Trump’s repeated attempts to intimidate, remove, or sue the Fed chair directly undermine that institutional autonomy.

Trump Tells Child Coal Is “Clean” Who Said She Doesn’t Want Coal for XMas

During a Christmas Eve call with children across the country coordinated through NORAD, Trump contested a Kansas girl’s preference against receiving coal as a gift. When the child, Amelia, stated she did not want coal, Trump interjected to promote “clean, beautiful coal,” a false claim he has repeated since his first term despite the absence of coal technology that burns without environmental harm.

Trump told Amelia that “coal is clean and beautiful, please remember that at all costs,” despite scientific consensus establishing that coal combustion produces significant greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. The exchange occurred as part of Trump’s broader effort to normalize coal as a viable energy source, contradicting established environmental science and public health data on fossil fuel impacts.

The interaction reflects Trump’s pattern of using high-profile moments to promote discredited environmental claims. His assertion about “clean coal” technology has been central to his energy messaging despite the absence of commercially viable processes that eliminate coal’s documented environmental and health consequences.

During the same call session, Trump also told a Pennsylvania boy that the state was “great” and claimed he won it “three times,” though Trump won Pennsylvania in only two of the three general elections from 2016 to 2024. The inaccuracy reflects Trump’s tendency to distort electoral history when addressing audiences, including children.

The Christmas Eve calls continued Trump’s established practice of using holiday traditions for political messaging. In 2018, Trump famously questioned a seven-year-old about believing in Santa, demonstrating his discomfort with boundaries between political promotion and children’s holiday experiences.

‘We have to do something about it!’: Trump unleashes bizarre underwear rant at rally

President Donald Trump delivered a rally speech in Rocky Mount, North Carolina on Friday, during which he continued promoting the false claim that the 2020 election was “rigged” and attacked the 2022 FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago resort. Trump spent an extended portion of his remarks describing in detail how FBI agents allegedly disturbed First Lady Melania Trump’s underwear drawer during the search, claiming her undergarments were “folded perfect, wrapped” and “steamed” before agents left them “a mess” and “all over the place.”

Trump characterized the FBI search as an attack by “thugs” and stated “We have all the evidence now. We have to do something about it! It’s illegal, and it’s disgusting.” He offered no substantiation for claims that agents intentionally disarranged his wife’s belongings or that the search itself was unlawful. The 2022 search was conducted pursuant to a court-authorized warrant related to classified documents removed from the White House.

The speech, which extended nearly 90 minutes, saw rallygoers begin departing after the one-hour mark, with attendees visible on live feeds leaving the stage as Trump continued speaking. Trump asserted without evidence that “If I didn’t get elected, our country would be ruined” and declared the United States is currently “the greatest country in the world” and “the hottest.”

Trump’s focus on the intimate details of his wife’s clothing storage reflects a pattern of digressing into grievances unrelated to policy or governance. His repeated promotion of the debunked stolen election narrative, combined with the fixation on personal complaints about the lawful FBI search, demonstrates a continued absence of substantive messaging.

A surgeon faced 35 years in prison for ‘sabotage’ of US. Pam Bondi ordered charges dropped

Dr. Kirk Moore, a Utah plastic surgeon, faced up to 35 years in prison for distributing falsified COVID-19 vaccination cards and discarding government-supplied doses. After five days of trial in July, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered all charges dropped, ending his two-and-a-half-year prosecution and reversing the Biden administration’s approach to COVID-19 fraud cases.

Moore admitted to the charges, stating he signed up for the federal vaccine distribution program to provide patients with fake vaccination cards to circumvent employer and business mandates. He distributed cards through his plastic surgery clinic in exchange for $50 donations via Venmo, using oranges as a signal system for staff. Moore also administered saline injections to children instead of vaccines at parents’ request and treated COVID-19 patients with ivermectin, an FDA-unapproved treatment.

Bondi’s decision came after pressure from Republican lawmakers including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who urged her to dismiss the case. Bondi framed Moore’s actions as providing patient choice when government refused, while federal prosecutors had characterized his conduct as deliberate sabotage of the vaccine program. At least 11 other healthcare workers faced similar charges under the Biden administration; Moore was one of only two to go to trial.

The dismissal emboldened the “medical freedom” movement and those convicted of vaccine card fraud, who formed the group Covicted Patriot to seek pardons and case review. Moore rebranded his practice as Freedom Surgical & Aesthetics and continues advocating to remove COVID vaccines from the market. His medical license remains in good standing despite falsifying federal records.

Public health experts warn the decision undermines disease surveillance and vaccine confidence. Brian Dean Abramson, an immunization law expert, stated that falsified records destroy trust in medical systems and increase infectious disease outbreak risk. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary, has replaced vaccine advisory panel members and restricted CDC vaccine access, signaling broader federal rejection of established public health guidance.
