What the evidence supports
The United States was still sharing intelligence with Ukraine on October 13.
Trump said sharing had not stopped. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha separately confirmed that intelligence cooperation with the United States continued. Zelenskyy said Kyiv lacked advance warning before a particular missile attack; that narrower gap does not establish that all sharing had ended.

Iran's current inflation rate was 301 percent.
Trump gave the 301% figure in his October 13 public post and approximately 300% in the departure gaggle. The Statistical Center of Iran's latest September reading was 89.8% year over year and 73.6% on a 12-month average. Both show severe inflation but directly contradict the stated national rate.

Trump set an Alaska vote record in each of his three presidential elections.
At the Wasilla rally Trump said he had received the state's highest vote total 'for any race, three times'; in the Gray Television interview he again described a highest Alaska vote. Certified results show 163,387 Trump votes in 2016, 189,951 in 2020 and 184,458 in 2024. He won Alaska all three times, but his 2024 total was below his own 2020 result, so the repeated-record claim is false.

The Russian diesel arrangement was not for the United States and would not release diesel to the U.S. market.
Trump told reporters the deal was 'not for us.' His October 9 announcement named the American and global marketplaces, and Treasury's General License 135 explicitly authorizes importation of Russian diesel into the United States. Actual shipment destinations remain unverified; permission to import is not proof a cargo arrived. The blanket U.S.-exclusion description omits a material part of the arrangement.

Taiwan had made a settled investment commitment of more than $4 billion to the Alaska LNG project.
Trump described Taiwan as already agreeing to invest over $4 billion. Taiwan's economic affairs ministry confirmed an existing letter of intent and a possible investment of up to $4.4 billion, but said the investment structure, stake and commercial terms still require negotiation and company approvals. A real proposed investment is being presented as a completed commitment.

- Donald J. Trump
Taiwan had agreed to buy 30 percent of Alaska LNG output for the next 20 years.
Trump gave both the share and duration at the Wasilla rally. Taiwan's ministry confirmed a plan to buy 6 million metric tons annually after production starts and a March 2025 letter of intent, but did not confirm the 30% share, a 20-year binding term or a completed purchase contract. The ministry says detailed terms remain under negotiation; the exact proposition cannot yet be independently verified.

These full-text records were checked for testable factual claims. A verdict appears above only when corroborating evidence supports one.
Bottom line
Six specific Trump claims are assessed: one Supported, two False, two Misleading and one Unresolved. Ukraine's foreign minister confirms continued U.S. intelligence sharing. Iran's latest published inflation readings contradict the 301% figure, and certified Alaska returns contradict Trump's claim to have set the state's vote record three times. The Russian diesel authorization includes U.S. imports, though actual cargo destinations are not established. Taiwan confirms a prospective Alaska LNG purchase and possible investment, while the precise 30%-for-20-years term and final financial commitments remain unpublished. Four complete Trump-participation transcripts are indexed, including the later-accessible interview and Wasilla rally.
