Trump used his United Nations address to claim credit for record household incomes and a falling murder rate, and the numbers mostly back him up — a positive talking point for the administration, and an awkward moment for rivals in the room.

• Trump floated the possibility of a deal with Iran, with Iran's president seated in the audience.
• His claim that inflation-adjusted household income hit an all-time high checks out, topping the old 2019 peak.
• The murder-rate claim is close to right: killings are down sharply this year, and violent crime is falling too.
• Cuba's delegation walked out during the speech after Trump attacked the country.

Outlook: Expect the income and crime numbers to become standard campaign lines, while any Iran deal talk stays vague until there is something concrete on the table.
