Heh. Trump claims he won Minnesota. Twice. - pdq - 05-19-2024
NYT:
Former President Donald J. Trump, speaking Friday night in Minnesota, which he vowed to boycott if he lost there in 2020, falsely claimed that he had won the state twice, adding that it was in play for him in 2024.
“I thought we won it in 2016,” Mr. Trump said during a fund-raiser for the state’s Republican Party in St. Paul, Minn. “I know we won it in 2020.”
The last time a Republican presidential candidate won Minnesota was in 1972, when Richard M. Nixon carried the state.
I guess this selling-an-alternate-history, more-pleasant-than-reality is popular among the Deplorables.
:dunno:

Trump won every state in both elections. Anywhere they said he lost is just because they cheated.

Trump got 26 electors from American Samoa.
Just ask him!

Again, I'd love to see Biden in the debates ask him about something like the number of electors in Samoa, or hell, even the number of electors required to win the EC.

That would backfire big time because they'd ask Biden something along those lines and he'd get it wrong. And that means nothing.
Biden’s gift as a leader is not great memory for wonky, pedantic details. It's his ability to get complicated but important legislation passed, to represent us like a respected, professional diplomat on the world stage, and to make every day Americans feel heard ND seen by him, and cared about.
That's our guy.

People respect competence, no matter the side of the aisle. We know which person has the competence in this case. Don't sell people short and buy into the incompetence meme.

Never underestimate the power of propaganda, the right doesn’t and they capitalize on it every single day.
