During a speech in Detroit, Trump expressed irritation over challenges to his claim of being declared man of the year in Michigan, citing an outdated and corrected news story as evidence.
For years, fact-checkers have found no indication that Trump was actually awarded a man of the year title, indicating a long-running issue with his claims.
Dave Trott, a former Republican congressman, clarified that the event Trump referred to was a dinner organized by Trott in 2013, where Trump received gifts but no award.
In response to a New York Times article questioning his memory and age, Trump felt compelled to find proof of the man-of-the-year claim when it was cited as an example.
