Ap Fact Check: Trump And His Unachieved Achievements

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is taking credit for persuading TransCanada Corp. to withdraw a hefty lawsuit against the U.S. government over the previous administration's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline. [...] the Canadian company says its bid for compensation for the stalled project is merely suspended, as it has been for weeks. Trump's account, to Republican donors Tuesday night, was one of several from the president claiming achievements that have yet to happen. TransCanada launched the challenge last year after the Obama administration turned against the project on environmental grounds. A separate TransCanada lawsuit in a federal court also was suspended until the fate of the pipeline was determined. With just a single month's worth of arrest data, it's too soon to know what the long-term trend is and whether Trump's hard-line rhetoric on illegal immigration is dissuading foreigners from trying. [...] the Navy is much smaller than it was at the end of World War 1 — 774 fighting ships in 1918, 274 this year. The fleet may grow more than planned if Trump's military expansion is approved by Congress but nothing comparable to the world wars is envisioned.

    There is a lot to dislike about Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, who has consistently held a high disapproval rating in his home state. However, most people would agree with two things McConnell has said. One of them was his speech just after Donald Trump whipped his lint-licking base of supporters into a frenzy to attack the Capitol.

    Day 2 of the Donald Trump Election Interference Criminal Trial was a rocky one - for Donald Trump and his lawyers. It started off with the long awaited Gag Order Hearing where Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, got the legal equivalent of a tongue lashing that surely left bruises. A bit of the highlights, from both sides: Out of the gate. "Defendant has violated this order repeatedly and hasn't stopped," prosecutor says, adding that Trump even did it on Monday in the halls of the courtroom. — Kaelan Deese (@KaelanDC) April 23, 2024 Lots of back and forth about posts and statements, but the prosecutors make it clear that they have Trump's number.
