After evaluating the statement and all provided claims with their references, the overall statement has minimal truth. Most claims are either rejected or inconclusive. Reliable sources reject the broad assertion that the American political system is long

Our system has been corrupt for a very long time. Most in the political class know it because they’ve benefitted from it. Step in @realDonaldTrump and try to make the system (and America) GREAT AGAIN, and lo and behold, the establishment kicks into overdrive and works to destroy everything and everyone in their way (including a POTUS). Not sure the nation can survive if we don’t use this moment in history to make the necessary corrections to overcome a past that allowed corrupt behavior to seep in so deeply and became so ingrained, making it much harder to reform. We’ll see what these next few months bring. Wake up people! @elonmusk @DOGE

.@ByronYork: The White House debated a cognitive test for Biden—but chose the cover-up instead. They cried “cheapfakes,” smeared critics, and denied what voters saw with their own eyes. The inside story was deception. The outside story? Unmistakable decline.
