Stated on May 8, 2025 in a Truth Social post:

The Digital Equity Act is a handout "based on race,” and “illegal.”

Trump said the Digital Equity Act is a handout "based on race" and "illegal."

Organizations familiar with the law said they are unaware of any court ruling saying it’s illegal.

The law’s text outlines several groups that lawmakers sought to benefit. Racial minorities were one of those groups. The other groups may include racial minorities but not to the exclusion of other races: low-income households; people 60 and older; people incarcerated in non-federal facilities; veterans; people with disabilities; people with language barriers; and people in rural areas.

Trump’s statement distorts the legality and intent of the legislation.



False.
