The claim: “Trump tells a Kansas rally the U.S. drew about $25 trillion in investment; the White House tracker shows $11.3 trillion”

Why we rated it this way: Trump told a rally in Salina, Kansas, that the U.S. has drawn about $25 trillion in investment since he took office, and that this is why plants are being built across the country. The reasoning would follow if the figure were right, but the White House's own tracker adds up to about $11.3 trillion, and that total includes domestic company pledges and country-level announcements, with roughly $5.2 trillion labeled as foreign government investment. The key question: if the tracker totals about $11.3 trillion, where does the rest of the $25 trillion come from? The Star's verdict rests on the administration's own record, with one small slip: it calls the whole $11.3 trillion foreign, which only widens the gap.
