TL;DR Summary

CNN’s fact-check roundup finds several Trump State of the Union claims false or exaggerated, including the alleged $18 trillion in investments (the White House figure is far lower), gas prices supposedly below $2.30 a gallon (not supported by AAA data), and claims about inherited record inflation and ending eight wars; it also challenges assertions about the largest tax cuts, the migrants with murderers figure, tariffs, and balancing the budget by eliminating fraud, citing data from sources like AAA, GAO, CBO, and the White House—along with related context from CNN’s reporting.
