"In my first 10 months, I ended eight wars, including Cambodia, Trump began as some of his critics burst out laughing. Isn't it funny? an irked Trump hit back as some heckling could be heard. Sick people! Trump added as he did throughout the night, sparring with his hecklers."
"He has frequently mentioned stopping several wars while touting his peace record since returning to office. But not all the conflicts have happened in the first year in office, nor do all parties give him credit for the six peace agreements he has been a part of. In fact, not all of them are considered wars."
During his State of the Union address, President Trump claimed he ended eight wars in his first ten months, listing conflicts involving Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, India, Kosovo, Serbia, Israel, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Congo, Rwanda, and Gaza. He credited advisors Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their assistance. Democrats in attendance laughed at his claims, prompting Trump to respond defensively, calling critics "sick people." USA Today's fact-check revealed inconsistencies: not all conflicts occurred within the stated timeframe, not all parties acknowledge his role in resolutions, and some listed items are not technically wars.
