Crooks and Liars: Donald Trump unleashes at least six lies in under a minute: he's getting worse (LINK) — 12 August 2026

— Trump declared the country is thriving, pointing to a "record" stock market and claiming his administration has notched 79 records in a short span. He asserted that employment is higher than it's ever been and that prices are falling quickly. Turning to Iran, he insisted the situation there is going smoothly. He claimed the U.S. Navy has sole, total control of the Strait of Hormuz — repeating "only us" for emphasis — before capping it off by calling the Navy "unbelievable" and declaring everything is going great for the country. Military escorts are still needed to shuttle commercial vessels through the Strait, and Iran has attacked 64 vessels transiting it, resulting in 17 seafarer deaths and 35 injuries. Oil futures were still climbing at the time, undercutting the "control" claim, and an agreement between Tehran and Washington hadn't materialized. Trump said, "Iran is going fine... absolutely fine" on the same day, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the Strait would not reopen until the U.S. "corrects its behavior." Oil prices hit $90 a barrel for the first time in two weeks. U.S. forces were also actively striking vessels in the region that same day. "79 records" — An oddly specific number with no clear public data source backing it; it reads as a fabricated-sounding flourish rather than a verifiable stat.
