The claim that Donald Trump is itching to set up a new government monitoring system for pregnancies is as absurd as a cat trying to swim in a pool of molasses. This recent drama features Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, has been pushing this tall tale in a bid to rally support. Apparently, they are now convinced that Trump wants to create a federal “monitor” or “coordinator” who will pry into the intimate details of women’s pregnancies. Clearly, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel because they have been repeatedly caught in a web of deception.
Despite Walz’s tireless efforts to recite this fable at every opportunity, there’s zero evidence that Trump ever proposed such a plan. Fact-checkers, including Breitbart and even ostensibly impartial sources like USA Today, have debunked this ridiculous assertion. It seems that Walz and Harris are either incredibly misguided or just willing to spin any yarn in an effort to sway voters. The notion that Trump intends to transform the government into an invasive pregnancy surveillance agency is not only far-fetched but outright laughter-inducing.
Tim Walz is now claiming in all of his stump speeches that President Trump will "create a new government entity that will monitor all pregnancies."

The origins of this ridiculous claim can be traced back to Project 2025, which, contrary to the left’s narrative, focuses on gathering data on pregnancies without any hint of creating a Big Brother-style monitoring scheme. The errant rumor likely stems from misinterpretation and manipulation of Trump’s comments about how states can manage their abortion policies. In essence, he argued that the states should retain this authority, not the federal government forcing undesirable directives.
Notably, the fabricators of this mythful tale can be linked back to the antics of the far-left group Occupy Democrats. This organization is as well-known for disseminating fake news as they are for complaining about the weather. Their baseless claims cited Time magazine in a twisted interpretation of Trump’s remarks, which fact-checkers have thoroughly dismissed. The message is pretty clear: if left-wing groups are involved, it’s probably a good idea to take whatever they say with a grain of salt — and maybe a side of skepticism.
Further complicating this mess is the involvement of Laurence Tribe, a so-called legal expert who fancies himself a sage voice for Democrats. His alleged description of Trump’s policy was shot down by USA Today, which pointed out that Tribe offered no concrete evidence to support his position. By claiming Trump would allow red states to impose pregnancy monitoring, Tribe inadvertently achieved nothing but an entry into the annals of political hyperbole.
While Walz, Harris, and their minions continue to perpetuate this fairy tale, it appears the truth remains firmly on the other side: Trump never advocated for such invasive monitoring schemes. His statements skirt around only the notion that states can legislate as they please. The relentless campaign to pin a “monitor” tag on him is not only a deliberate ploy but also a stark reminder of how low some politicians will go in their quest for power and control over narratives. The truth, as always, is oceans away from the waves of misinformation being spewed across the political landscape.
