The Broadcasting Standards Authority said in a statement that it upheld three complaints about a story broadcast on 1 News on 13 September 2025.
In the story Trump was misrepresented in saying "I couldn't care less" in response to a question, the BSA said.
The BSA said the 1 News report stated: "(W)hen the president was asked what he'd do to unite the country after this tragedy, he said, 'I couldn't care less', blaming the radical left, and vowing to go after political violence.
"This was accompanied by a large banner with a photo of Trump and the words, 'I couldn't care less'."
The BSA said Trump's actual response was: "Well, I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less."

The full statement made by Trump was played later in the 1 News story but the BSA said this did not resolve the inaccuracy.
