Fact check: Donald Trump collected $12 billion.

Verdict: mixed — Trust Score 55/100

The post makes several claims regarding Donald Trump's actions. While it is true that Donald Trump has been associated with initiatives involving $12 billion, and a 'Board of Peace' was established in 2026, the claim that he started a war with Iran is an oversimplification of a complex conflict that began with US-Israeli airstrikes. Furthermore, the 'Board of Peace' has not disappeared from public discourse, as it was formally established in January 2026 and continues to be discussed in news reports. The post's claims are partially accurate and partially misleading, as cross-checked by 5 sources.
