"CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale had an abundant source of content Tuesday after President Donald Trump delivered a speech to senior military officials who were gathered in Quantico, Virginia, with the network's resident fact checker commenting that one of the president's lies was so egregious it only took him about five seconds to find on Google and debunk it."
"Among the wide-ranging topics mentioned in Trump's speech were nuclear weapons, his preference for gold stationery and decor, stairs, using U.S. cities as training grounds for our military and several swipes at his predecessor, President Joe Biden."
"There were just so many false claims, Dale replied, which is something he said he says that after essentially every speech from Trump, but I think this is notable because of the audience. Trump was telling a lot of lies, saying a lot of other inaccurate things, Dale continued, and cued up a clip of Trump claiming Biden had never said that the U.S. has the strongest military."
A speech to senior military officials at Quantico covered nuclear weapons, gold stationery and decor, stairs, proposals to use U.S. cities as training grounds for the military, and criticisms of President Joe Biden. The speech included numerous false claims and inaccurate statements about the military. One claim that Biden never said the United States has the strongest military was demonstrably false. A single quick Google search retrieved a 2023 Biden quote affirming that the U.S. military is the strongest. The audience consisted of generals and admirals, making inaccuracies directed at them notable.
