Surely it's in the way he's phrased it. "There is no way..." - that's a fact right there.

If the post had said "I don't think there's a way..." Then it might have been a different story

When a politician speaks about something political, there is always an implicit 'I believe' or 'I think'. I mean, Biden recently said black-skinned people who don't vote for him aren't black. Obviously, he doesn't need to be fact checked, because he was just saying what he believes. Same with Trump. Politicians speak politics -- a belief system.

Gosh, I really hope Twitter doesn't start fact-checking the Pope. What a sad state of affairs.
