Americans who lived through President Donald Trump’s first term in office are no strangers to legacy media hoaxes. From Russia collusion to the “very fine people” lie, the bevy of dishonest smear campaigns were too numerous to count.

Now, with Trump back in the White House for his second term, the media are once again back to deploying their same dirty tricks. Here’s the definitive list of all the hoaxes these so-called “journalists” have run to undermine Trump and his administration.

4. DOGE Gone Wild

Clearly upset at the prospect of a downsized federal government, the media launched an all-out disinformation blitz to turn the public against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

Leftist propaganda outlets such as the Associated Press, NPR, PBS, and NBC News ran stories based on anonymous sources, several of whom claimed that DOGE officials were accessing “classified information” stored by agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development. The implication, of course, was that these officials were unlawfully accessing such critical information.

Responding to a PBS reporter on X, who claimed DOGE operatives “attempted to gain access to secure spaces,” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wrote, “Legitimately FAKE NEWS. Not even remotely true at all.” DOGE adviser Katie Miller similarly poured cold water on the AP’s “classified material” hit, noting on X, “No classified material was accessed without proper security clearances.”

3. Federal Aid Freeze Misinformation

After the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) put out a memo announcing a freeze on certain types of federal grants, Democrats and the media quickly leapt into action to foment a disinformation campaign about how far the directive went. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, were among those who advanced untrue claims that the edict shut down Medicaid funding and monies for other critical industries (hospitals, food banks, etc.).

A White House memo, however, makes clear that programs such as Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, and other related programs are excluded from the freeze. It specifies that the freeze is limited to programs and activities that promote or endorse “DEI, the green new deal, and funding nongovernmental organizations that undermine the national interest.”

These clear directions weren’t clear enough for media hacktivists, who utilized Democrats’ lies to claim that the administration’s directive created “confusion” among the public.

2. Pete Hegseth Smear Campaign

Seeking to derail his nomination as Trump’s defense secretary, legacy media launched a desperate, last-minute smear campaign against Pete Hegseth that would make state-run media in foreign nations blush.

Outlets like NBC News reported out an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, who claimed the Army veteran engaged in threatening conduct that left his second ex-wife fearful for her “safety.” What NBC and other so-called “news” organizations chose to bury in their coverage, however, was the fact that Hegseth’s ex-wife said the allegations in the affidavit aren’t true.

1. Elon the ‘Fascist’

It wasn’t long into Trump’s second term when media hacktivists rolled out their disgusting “Trump supporters are Nazis” smear. Outlets such as PBS News grossly mischaracterized a hand gesture by Elon Musk at a post-inauguration event to make it appear as if the X owner was giving a Nazi salute.

The full video of the incident, however, showed that Musk was thanking the crowd of Trump supporters for propelling the 47th president to victory.

“I just want to say thank you for making it happen, thank you,” said Musk, who placed his hand over his heart before pointing it at the crowd. “My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.”
