- The display includes inaccuracies about the current occupant's achievements, such as claiming he ended “eight wars in his first eight months” and built a “magnificent Trump Presidential Ballroom.”
- Plaques for other presidents also feature questionable facts, including an unsubstantiated claim that the 2020 election was “the most corrupt Election ever seen” and misrepresentations of Ronald Reagan's history.
