Mostly False
United States
Former President Calvin Coolidge allegedly pressed a security button and hid, causing a panic.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (29/100).
The claims regarding Calvin Coolidge and his alleged pranks do not have strong corroborating evidence. The stories about Coolidge's humor and wit, including the famous 'You lose' joke, are likely apocryphal, as indicated by Coolidge's own denial. There is no credible evidence supporting the prank about pressing a security button and hiding, nor that it caused a panic among the security team. The web evidence consists mainly of anecdotes and historical retellings without primary sources.
