The White House releases a list of the media's "weirdest scams" that have been carried forward in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second semester
The Trump administration issued a press release announcing: "Since President Donald J. Trump took office 100 days ago, it has been a scam and lies for Democrats and their allies, and these fake news have suffered an end to Trump's destruction syndrome."
The administration continues to list 57 claimed “scam” spread by the president’s critics, media and Democrats.
One example is: “Scam: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) claims ‘no president’ in their first month as President Trump, they presided over more plane crashes.”
Data from the Department of Transportation showed that more plane crashes occurred in the first few weeks of then-President Biden’s tenure, as there were 55 aviation accidents between Biden’s opening ceremony on January 21, 2021 and his inauguration in the United States on February 17, 2021.

Another obvious controversy is whether millions of gender experiments have been conducted on mice during Biden's tenure.
"Scam: Fake News CNN tries to 'fact check' President Trump's claim that the Biden administration has spent millions of dollars on 'transgender rats'," the administration said.
Although CNN journalist Deirde McPhillips initially asserted that Trump “erroneously claimed” that the administration’s efficiency ministry determined the $8 million spent on “making Mice Transgender,” CNN eventually corrected the request.
"The White House list clearly shows that Trump did not in his speech: These studies are designed to figure out how these treatments affect the health of those who receive them, not to desexualize mice," the fact-check said. "Earlier versions of this project are mischaracterized as Trump's claim on the use of federal funding to 'degenerate mice'. The article has been updated with the context of spending, a study on the potential human health impacts of treatments for gender-affirming care."

“Scam: Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) and Chicago Public School officials claimed effortlessly verifying that ICE agents had conducted a 'raid' at an elementary school, a false claim that includes media media, including the Chicago Tribune," the administration said.
The Chicago Tribune initially published an article titled “Ice Agents denies entry into Chicago elementary school.” Since then, the title of the article has been overhauled to read,” officials said, and the ice visit to the Chicago school was actually the Secret Service.
However, the ICE said its agents never arrived at Hamline Elementary School near Chicago's yard, and the U.S. Secret Service issued a statement saying it was their agent who stopped to investigate the threat to unspecified government officials. Chicago Public Schools later admitted their mistakes on the grounds of “misunderstanding,” but certainly the school system would not coordinate with federal immigration authorities.
Progressive Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continues to correct the record.
"Now, Secret Service agents, not ice, are emerging at John H. Hamline Elementary School. While people across the city are concerned about the intensification of immigration enforcement, it is imperative that individuals should not disseminate unverified information that will inspire fear throughout the city."

"Scam: National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, whom AP mistakenly requested, said President Trump was "very good friends" with Russian President Vladimir Putin."
The Associated Press eventually withdrew the story, announcing in a statement: “The Associated Press has withdrawn stories about US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Gabbard talks about Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The store went on to release an updated article, pointing out that Gabbard had said Modi and Trump were good friends, including editor notes, and finally admitted that the AP had deleted the original article containing the "error report."
