Verdict: verified — Trust Score 92/100

This content is confirmed by 10 sources including financial reports from Benzinga, TipRanks, and Macrotrends. The screenshot of Donald Trump's Truth Social post from April 29, 2026, is authentic, and the reported Intel stock price of $94.75 and its ~370% annual growth are factually accurate. While the $30 billion figure correctly represents the unrealized profit on the U.S. government's 10% stake, the claim that the entire amount was earned in the 'last 90 days' is a minor temporal exaggeration of the investment's total performance.

Claims analyzed (3)

  1. verified: Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on April 29, 2026, saying he is 'very proud' of Intel and responsible for $30B in gains.
    Multiple news outlets and social media archives confirm Trump made this specific post on Truth Social at 10:20 PM on April 29, 2026.
  2. verified: Intel shares are up more than 350% over the past year as of April 2026.
    Market data shows Intel (INTC) rose from approximately $20 in mid-2025 to $94.75 in April 2026, a trailing twelve-month return of roughly 365%.
  3. mostly true: The U.S. government made over $30 billion on Intel stock in the last 90 days.
    The U.S. government holds a 10% stake (433.3M shares) acquired at $20.47. At $94.75, the total unrealized gain is $32.18B. However, the stock was already at $36.90 in January 2026, meaning the 90-day gain is approximately $25B, not the full $30B claimed.
