The claim of the article has truth and merits. The source of the article comes from the Fox News Faulkner Focus where Harris Faulkner conducted a townhouse with former President Donald Trump. I was able to find the full video of the townhouse unfortunately it is locked behind a payment. Fortunately, there are clips of the video available on YouTube. Moving on from the source of the article, the writer of the article Daniel Dale is highly credible writer for CNN. He has reported for CNN for over five years and he was with the Torronto for over ten years. He has been fact checking Donald Trump ever since the 2020 election cycle.

With the content of the article, Daniel Dale fact checks 19 claims Trump mades. The primary topics he fact checks Trump is on Roe V Wade and immigration. In one of the claims Trump makes is he claim that everyone wanted the decision of Roe V Wade to be overturned. In the article Dale fact checks providing evidence that polling showed it was the case of it being regarded unpopular. In addition I found an additional poll from Pew Research that provides evidence that a significant majority of Democrats and a small amount of Republicans disapprove of the overturning of Roe V Wade. Another false claim Daniel found from Trump is Trump sates in his administration built 571 miles of Wall. According to additionally research on the Trump administration when it came to the border wall, he technically only had 458 miles constructing while in that only 43 was new miles built, but it should be the stated the replacement of the other 431 miles was more formidable.

To conclude, the general claim of the article is factual and true. Daniel Dale does a thoroughly job on finding the false claims Trump makes.
