Fact check: Donald Trump has proposed a complete ban on all Muslims entering the United States.

Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 65/100

The post claims that Donald Trump has proposed a complete ban on all Muslims entering the US. While Trump did propose a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the US in 2015, his more recent proposals and actions have focused on travel bans from specific countries, many of which are Muslim-majority, rather than a blanket ban on all Muslims. The Threads caption, "Yes!!! Ten zillion %", expresses strong support for this claim. The core assertion that Trump has proposed restrictions on Muslims entering the US is confirmed by 3 reliable sources, but the phrasing in the post is an oversimplification of the current policy discussions.

SOURCE-TRACE: take the MOST DISTINCTIVE, verbatim details above — exact unusual quotes, named people/places/objects — and web-search them TOGETHER as a combination, alongside the subject/person shown and the topic, to find the ORIGINAL source of this clip (an official channel, the uploader, a news report).
