Fact check: President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting people from using the word "felon" inside the White House.

1. Summary of the results

The claim about President Trump signing an executive order banning the word "felon" in the White House is definitively false. Multiple fact-checking attempts have found no evidence of such an order existing ^[1]. Specifically:

• No official White House record of such an executive order exists ^[2]
• There was no confirmation from the White House administration ^[1]
• No mention appears on Trump's Truth Social account ^[1]
• The White House website contains no record of this directive ^[1]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks crucial context about:

• The origin of this claim: it was first shared by a social media account called "Rogue WH Snr Advisor" ^[2]
• This account has a documented history of sharing unsubstantiated and demonstrably fake information ^{[2] [1]}
• The timing of this claim appears to coincide with Trump's legal troubles, specifically his 34 felony counts indictment ^[2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

Several factors contribute to the spread of this misinformation:

• Some media sources treated the claim as potential satire rather than news, which may have contributed to its spread through social media ^[3]
• The claim appears to be an attempt at political commentary regarding Trump's legal troubles, mixing "jokes and potentially legitimate information" ^[3]
• The timing and nature of the claim suggest it was crafted to capitalize on public interest in Trump's criminal trial and felony charges ^[2]

This appears to be a clear example of how satirical content can be mistaken for genuine news, especially when shared by accounts that mix real and fake information. The claim's spread demonstrates how political satire can transform into misinformation when stripped of its original context.
