President Donald Trump claimed in a series of tweets this week that Germany was wracked by crimes committed by refugees. But it seems he's cherry-picking some crime stats while ignoring others. Recent figures from Germany's interior ministry show crime actually dropped by almost 10% in 2017, and the country is experiencing its lowest levels of crime since 1992, [Vox reported](https://www.vox.com/2018/6/19/17478916/trump-germany-tweet-crime-refugee-merkel).

False!

Crime in Germany has increased by more than 10% since the country opened its doors to refugees.

The WHO added "gaming disorder" to its official list of diagnosable mental health conditions, but it did not say anything specific about Fortnite.

Nope!

The World Health Organization has officially recognized Fortnite addiction as a mental health condition.

A billboard on the side of an interstate highway told liberals to "Please continue on I-40 until you have left our great state of Texas."

Trump said in a speech that Canadians shop for shoes in the US and smuggle them back across the border in order to skirt high tariffs in Canada. “The tariffs to get common items back into Canada are so high that they have to smuggle them in," Trump said. “They buy shoes and they wear them. They scuff them up to make them sound old or look old.” While Canadians do occasionally hide certain cross-border purchases from customs, this has nothing to do with tariffs, according to the [Toronto Star](https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2018/06/19/donald-trump-accuses-canadians-of-smuggling-shoes-home-from-us.html).

¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ Yup!

The satirical website [Stuppid.com made this up](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/golden-ticket-arrest/) back in 2015, and the story resurfaced this week when an image [went viral on Twitter](https://twitter.com/noonanjo/status/1008869781653590017) that appeared to show a newspaper write-up of the couple’s arrest. Where this image comes from is unclear, but the story itself is very fake.

Nope, that didn't happen.

A Florida couple was arrested for “selling tickets to heaven” to gullible people.

Burger King Russia said on social media that anyone who got pregnant by a visiting football player could win money and free Whoppers for life. They [took the ad down](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jun/20/burger-king-world-cup-pregnant-offer-apology-russian) and apologized after receiving backlash to the offer.

A fast-food chain offered women free hamburgers for getting impregnated by football players competing at the World Cup in Russia.
